What is the difference between propagation speed and the frequency of a wave? Does one or both affect wavelength? If so, how?
The ocean floor in underlain by a layer of basalt that constitutes the crust, or uppermost layer, of the Earth in that region. Below this crust is found denser periodotite rock that forms the Earths mantle. The boundary between these two layers is called the Mohorovicic discontinuity (Moho for short). If an explosive charge is set off at the surface of the basalt, it generates a seismic wave that is reflected back out at the Moho. If the speed of this wave in basalt is 6.50 km/s and the two-way travel time is 1.85 s, what is the thickness of this oceanic crust?
Earthquakes at fault lines in Earths crust create seismic waves, which are longitudinal (P-waves) or transverse (S-waves). The P-waves have a speed of about 7 km/s. Estimate the average bulk modulus of Earths crust given that the density of rock is about 2 500 kg/m3.
