Refraction

The deflection of a ray, as in light or a seismic wave, due to its passage from one material to another of different density.

Liquid Core

The fluid, outer layer of Earth's core, composed primarily of molten iron and nickel.

Density

The mass of a substance per unit volume, a critical factor in the behavior of geological materials.
