A.
The waves lose energy in the form of heat.
B.
The frequency of the waves continues to increase.
C.
The wavelength of the waves continues to decrease.
D.

D. The waves encounter entirely different mediums.

<h3>Why does the amplitude of a seismic wave decrease as the wave moves away from the epicenter?</h3>

At farther distances, the amplitude of the seismic waves decreases as the energy released by the earthquake spreads throughout a larger volume and different mediums of Earth.

So we can conclude that option D is the right answer.

The amplitude of a seismic wave generally decreases as the wave moves away from the epicenter because the waves encounter entirely different media.

  • Option D. The waves encounter entirely different mediums.

<h3>What are seismic waves and epicenter?</h3>

Seismic waves are waves of a mechanical nature, they propagate on Earth as a result of an earthquake or explosion. They are vibrations that are transmitted due to a release of energy from a specific point that is called a seismic focus. and the resistance found in the medium in which it propagates decreases the energy, dicipating it.

With this information, we can conclude that Seismic waves are movements of rock particles that are transmitted along concentric surfaces due to the sudden release of energy at the seismic focus.

The diagram shows a normal red blood cell and a shrunken red blood cell, both of which are in salt water.
bixtya [17]

Answer: Water moved from inside the red blood cell into the salt water.

This is because of the osmotic difference between the salt solution and the red blood cell. This means that there is difference in the solute (salt) concentration inside the red blood cell and the salt solution.

Explanation: The salt concentration in the solution is higher than the salt concentration inside the red blood cell, that is, the red blood cell has more water concentration that the salt solution, therefore there will be movement of water from the inside of the red blood cell into the salt solution thereby causing the red blood cell to reduce in size. The movement of water from the red blood cell into the salt solution is to create a balance between the water concentration in the two environments, hence the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low solvent concentration across the selectively permeable membrane of the red blood cell.

expeople1 [14]
The correct answer would be DNA Profiling. When Joe denied being the father of Lisa, Lisa's mom took Joe to the court to prove that he was Lisa's biological father. One way of proving that he's truly the biological father is by undergoing both DNA's into DNA profiling.
