The evidence that seismic waves transfer energy without transferring matter.
Answer to Problem 3R
The movement of crust along faults as seismic waves travel away is the evidence.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Seismic waves are also called energy waves. They result in volcanic eruptions, earthquakes etc.
There is no transfer of matter in seismic wave because these waves travel away from the faults. The crust moves along the fault when the seismic waves travel away. This is the evidence that seismic waves transfer energy without transferring matter.
Conclusion:
Thus, the movement of crust along faults as seismic waves travel away is the evidence.
