Travel as a series of contractions and expansions, pushing and pulling particles in their direction of travel: s waves (secondary)- travel at about half the speed of p waves. 10-70 km thick, intermediate composition: mantle: approx 2800 km thick, ma c composition, outer core: approx. 2200 km thick, liquid iron: inner core: approx 1500 km thick, solid iron, the pattern of s waves is the only way we know that the outer is liquid, seismic pro ling is consistent. Elemental carbon forms two distinct minerals: graphite and diamonds. Carbon is also a key component in a family of minerals: carbonates: amber, not a mineral. **know the name of 6 rock-forming igneous minerals.
