... Certain types of seismic waves, S-waves, cannot travel through liquid rock. Another type, P-waves, can travel through liquid but are refracted. The “shadow zones” for both types of waves, or areas on Earth’s surface where the different waves cannot be detected after an earthquake, indicate that part ...

History of geology
The history of geology is concerned with the development of the natural science of geology. Geology is the scientific study of the origin, history, and structure of the Earth. Throughout the ages geology provides essential theories and data that shape how society conceptualizes the Earth.
