Seismic Waves & Earth’s Interior | NYSSLS Cluster Practice Set 2 (Spring 2024 Q1–6)

🌍 Struggling with seismic waves, shadow zones, or Earth’s interior structure?
This video breaks down Questions 1–6 from the Spring 2024 NYSSLS Earth & Space Science cluster set, focusing on:

✅ P-waves vs. S-waves
✅ Earth’s interior and layer properties
✅ Plate tectonic boundaries
✅ Earthquake wave paths and diagrams

💡 As we go, I’ll rate the difficulty of each question subjectively, based on what I think would challenge most Regents students. You'll also get strategies for interpreting diagrams and using the Earth Science Reference Tables effectively.
