Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are important, but they don't provide much information about what happens below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can see what Earth's 'body' is like.

There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.

Seismic waves from earthquakes led to the discovery of the earth's core and eventual maps of the layers of the Earth's inside and i think it primary and secondary seismic waves.

I don’t have a clue how to solve this
jeyben [28]

I tried to figure it out. Im not sure if i am correct. The way that i thought of it was that each line poking out from the circle is 10%. California and Hawaii are 31% plus another 10% from the other states. so that is 41%. There is a little piece that i have no idea what % it is but taking a guess i would say about 2%. So we have 43%. so 100-43 would be 57%. That would be my best guess.
