The Earth's core only effects S wave behavior. Indicate whether the statement is true or false
ANS: F
The Earth's core absorbs the S wave creating shadow zones, but it has an impact on P waves as well.
The P waves can be deflected by the core. The interior of the Earth also affects the time in which the
waves arrive. S waves are much slower in comparison to the P waves. Information can be found in the
section The Study of Earthquakes Provides Evidence of Layering.

Where is the lowest elevation shown in this landscape? (It may not be a location marked with a letter.)
The question is based on this contour line map with elevations shown in feet.
• North is to the top of the map.
• Streams are shown with dashed lines.
• A graphic scale for measuring horizontal distances is shown below the map.
• Estimate elevations between contour lines to the nearest half-contour interval; assume that the top of a
hill is one-half-contour interval higher than the highest contour line shown.
