|Description={{en|Cross section of the whole [[wikipedia:Earth|Earth]], showing the complexity of paths of [[wikipedia:earthquake|earthquake]] waves. The paths curve because the different rock types found at different depths change the speed at which the waves travel. Solid lines marked P are compressional waves; dashed lines marked S are shear waves. S waves do not travel through the core but may be converted to compressional waves (marked K) on entering the core (PKP, SKS). Waves may be reflected at the surface (PP, PPP, SS).}}
