Answer : The inner core and the inhomogeneous mantle.

Explanation : The inner core and the inhomogeneous mantle present in the Earth's interior, are the parts that causes the diffraction of P waves made by earthquakes. The name P-wave may have abbreviated form for either pressure wave (as it consists of compressions and rarefactions) or the primary wave (because of high velocity and first wave to be recorded by a seismograph).

The Core and an inhomogeneous Mantle cause diffraction of P-waves. P-waves are a type of elastic seismic wave that travel through a continuum and are the first waves from an earthquake to arrive at a seismograph.

As the temperature of a gas increases, the average kinetic energy of the gas particles increases and the average speed of a gas particle increases.

According to the kinetic theory of gases, all gases are made of microscopic molecules that move in straight lines until they bump into another gas molecule or object. This transfer of energy causes molecules to move around faster and bump into each other more.

Kinetic energy is proportional to the speed of the molecules. As the speed of the colliding molecules increases, so does the total kinetic energy of all the gas molecules. It's pretty difficult to measure the speed of an individual gas molecule.

Instead, temperature can be used as a measure of the average kinetic energy of all the molecules in the gas. As the gas molecules gain energy and move faster, the temperature goes up. This is why Amy feels warmer!

To determine the average kinetic energy of gas molecules, we need to know the temperature of the gas, the universal gas constant (R), and Avogadro's number (NA).
