Earthquake waves develop shadow zones because of the Earth’s curved surface and the physical properties of seismic waves such as their refraction and reflection.
As earthquake waves travel through the Earth, they refract and reflect off the curved surface and solid structures beneath the surface. This causes the formation of a shadow zone at certain distances from the epicenter due to the absence of direct P and S waves.
