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.

DNA is to deoxyribose as DNA?
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Deoxyribose, found in DNA, is a modified sugar, lacking one oxygen atom (hence the name "deoxy"). This difference of one oxygen atom is important for the enzymes that recognize DNA and RNA, because it allows these two molecules to be easily distinguished inside organisms.

The first responsibility of the surgeon is notify the surgeon and go over the preoperative skin antiseptic choice.

Preoperative Skin- An excellent way to reduce surgery site infections is preoperative skin preparation (SSI). The two most often used antiseptics are povidone iodine (PV-I) and alcoholic chlorhexidine (CHG). Their effectiveness in lowering the normal bacterial skin flora after clean orthopedic surgery is the focus of this meta-analysis.

Antiseptic- An antiseptic is a substance that inhibits or stops the development of microorganisms on the body's outside surfaces, hence assisting in the prevention of illnesses.

Microorganism- A living thing that can only be observed under a microscope. Protozoa, algae, fungus, and bacteria are all examples of microorganisms.
