Based on seismology, why do scientists believe that the density of the Earth’s mantle (the layer shown as red in Figure 6.9) increases as depth increases?

Although Swaves cannot penetrate the outer core, they can still appear in the inner core. When P waves strike the bound-ary between the inner core and outer core some of that energy is converted into S waves which then travelthough the solid inner core.

Seismology is the logical investigation of quakes and the spread of flexible waves through the Earth…
