The 3 major mountain ranges in the United States are the Pacific ranges and Rocky Mountains in the west and the Appalachian mountains in the east. The Pacific ranges are on the northwestern coast of the United States. The Rocky Mountains are in the western United States but east of the Pacific ranges. They extend all the way from Canada into Mexico and cover 8 states. The Appalachian Mountains are near the East Coast of the United States. They extend from Canada to Alabama. The main difference between the eastern mountain ranges and the western mountain ranges is their ages and heights. The Appalachian Mountain range is the oldest range in the United States. Because of this, the range has faced weathering and erosion, which has worn the mountains down. The highest peaks in the Appalachians are only 6,000 feet. The ranges in the west are much younger and in some cases still growing. The mountains in the west are much higher than those in the east, with peaks over 14,000 ft.

Love wave are having the motion which is transverse which is confined to horizontal plane of the motion. If we talk about other mentioned waves than P waves, S- waves all travel in different pace from slow to fastest. S-waves travel in slow pace whereas p-waves are called the fastest. Disperse waves also travel in a decent speed

liq [111]

Answer:

About an year.

Explanation:

If we could collect all of the energy of the sun that came to earth in one hour , the energy is enough for all of humanity's energy needs for one year.  The humans used about 575 quadrillion Btu whereas each hour 430 quintillion Joules of energy is received from the sun by the Earth which is a huge quantity so by seeing the data we can conclude that about one hour of sun's energy is enough for about about one year for the whole world.
