Consider the following statements about the Earthquake Waves:
1. Body and Surface waves both form shadow zones.
2. The shadow zone of the S-wave is smaller than that of the P-wave.
3. The shadow zones of P-wave and Swave overlap with one another.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Only one
Only two
All three
None
Statement 1 is incorrect: Only body waves (P and S waves) from the shadow zone on the earth’s surface. Surface waves do not form a shadow zone. Statement 2 is incorrect: The shadow zone of the S-wave is much larger than that of the Pwaves. The shadow zone of P-waves appears as a band around the earth between 105° and 145° away from the epicentre. The shadow zone of S-waves is not only larger in extent but it is also a little over 40 per cent of the earth's surface. Statement 3 is correct: There are two types of body waves - S and P. The shadow zone of S waves is larger and covers around 40 % of the earth’s surface. The shadow zone of P waves is smaller (105 - 145 degrees). These shadow zones overlap with each other between 105 and 145 degrees.

All statements are wrong because in 3 rd statement it is clearly written ‘overlap eachother’. Which means that are they both on one another. But s wave has a larger area and hence they are not overlapping eachother
