So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake.

Prokaryotes are classified as belonging to two different domains. What are the domains?

Basile [38]

Answer:

Bacteria and Archaea

Explanation:

The prokaryotes are classified into two domains, the bacteria and the archaea domains. This makes them unique as the other organisms fall into one of the three domains, not in two of them. The prokaryotes come in many different shapes. They all do fall into three categories, bacilli (which are the rod-shaped prokaryotes), spirilli (which are the spiral-shaped prokaryotes), and cocci (which are the spherical shaped prokaryotes).
