Why Earth's inner core has speed trap for seismic waves. Earth has multiple layers: the crust, the mantle, the liquid outer core and the solid inner core. Something is not quite right inside the Earth's core. When seismic waves from earthquakes ripple through its solid center, they hit a speed bump.

Answer:

The earth solid inner core does not affect the seismic waves, it helps to transmit all types of waves which is generated by the earthquakes. It is the only primary waves that are being passed through all mediums, the secondary waves do not pass through the medium and it gets reflected. The seismic waves pass faster through the inner core.

Is there a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5m/s and a car moving backwards at 5m/s

slava [35]

There is NOT a difference in speed between a car going forwards at 5 m/s and a car moving backwards at 5 m/s.

Speed is just the rate of change of the position of an object. It is calculated by dividing the change in position (distance traveled) by the time it takes to move said distance.

The distance between the two points is always positive because the direction does not matter.

However, if we are looking for the velocity, the direction DOES matter. In this example, the velocity moving forwards is 5 m/s while the velocity moving backwards is -5 m/s.

In other words:

Speed is looking at the magnitude

Velocity is looking at the magnitude and direction.

Which layers most likely have a pressure, represented in units of GPa, ranging from 75 GPa to 110 GPa? Check all that apply. Out

lara [203]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Lithosphere

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Lithosphere is the solid outer part of the earth which includes the brittle upper portion of the crust and the mantle. It is bounded by the asthenosphere below and the atmosphere above.
The pressure in the lithosphere is about 109 gigapascals or GPa. 
Asthenosphere has a pressure of about 18 GPa
The mantle is a layer between the outer core and the crust, it has a pressure of about 149 GPa.
