Compare and contrast epicenter and shadow zone

Sagot :

The shadow zone is the area of the earth from angular distances of 104 to 140 degrees from a given earthquake that does not receive any direct P waves. The shadow zone results from S waves being stopped entirely by the liquid core and P waves being bent (refracted) by the liquid core. Epicenter is the point on the earth's surface vertically above the focus of an earthquake.
