| Abstract | When an earthquake happens, it not only vibrates the Earth’s surface but also the Earth’s interior. The strength and timing of the vibration recorded on the Earth’s surface provide crucial information about what’s inside the Earth as vibrations travel in different directions and probe different depths and areas. This study analyzes compressional (P) waves, similar to sound waves, that pass through the core-mantle boundary about 2900 km beneath the surface. The P-waves passing through certain reg |
