30、rths interior. Since this is the topic of your reading assignment for next time, let me spend these last few minutes of class talking about that. UThere were several important discoveries in the early part of the century to help geologists develop a more accurate picture of the earths interior./U Th

31、e first key discovery had to do with seismic waves. Remember, they are the vibrations caused by earthquakes. Well, scientists found that they travel thousands of miles through the earths interior. This finding enabled geologists to study the inner parts of the earth. You see, these studies revealed

32、that these vibrations were of two types: compression or P waves and shear or S waves. And researchers found that UP waves travel through both liquids and solids while S waves travel through only solid matter./U In 1906, a British geologist discovered that P waves slowed down at a certain depth but k

33、ept traveling deeper. On the other hand, S waves either disappeared or were reflected back. So he concluded that Uthe depth marked the boundary between a solid mantle and the liquid core./U Three years later, Uanother boundary was discovered that between the mantle and the earths crust./U There is s

34、till a lot to be learned about the earth. For instance, Ugeologists know that the core is hot./U Evidence of this is the molten lava that flows out of volcanoes. UBut we are still not sure what the source of the heat is./U 细节题。录音中提到P波可通过液体及固体介质，而S波只能通过固定物质，由此可知P波与S波的不同点在于B。(2).We are still unsure of

36、证。只有C尚未确定，录音中提及But we are still not sure what the source of the heat is，C是对这句话的同义转述，选C。(3).What is the passage mainly about? A. The internal constitution of the earth. B. The difference between P waves and S waves. C. Several important discoveries in the early 20th century. D. The study of earths in
