Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

In physics, we know that waves usually change direction when are refracted or when they penetrate layers with different densities.

Therefore, when a seismic wave penetrates penetrates the boundary of the earth's interior, part of it will be sent back and part will be transmitted into the medium as refraction occurs. When we record the reflected and refracted ray, it enables the calculation of the position of major boundaries in the Earth's interior. This also helps in providing information about the solid & liquid character as well physical properties of the various layers in the medium.

Which type of plate boundary does the image show?
IceJOKER [234]

The image shows the Convergent plate boundary.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Convergent boundaries occur wherever the Earth’s tectonic plates move or collide toward each other. As the plates converge, the denser, thinner tectonic plate sub-ducts or dives beneath the lighter, thicker, more buoyant tectonic plate.

As shown in the picture, the plates are composed of rigid lithosphere consisting of the crust of the earth and the uppermost mantle. Movement of the plates is driven by convection in the asthenosphere and lower mantle, which are softer and warmer than the lithosphere and can flow on geologic timescales. Convection is fuelled by heat generated from  radioactive decay of elements in the Earth.
