Seismologists are interested in the possibility of the two faults being connected together is because two faults tells the possibility of upcoming of natural disasters like earthquake.

Seismic waves are the elastic waves that propagate in solid or fluid materials. They can be divided into the body waves that travel through the interior of the materials; the surface waves that travel along surfaces or interfaces between materials; and the normal modes, a form of standing wave.

There are the two types of body waves, pressure waves or primary waves (P-waves) and the shear or secondary waves (S-waves). P-waves are longitudinal waves that involves compression and expansion in the direction that  wave is moving and are always the first waves to appear on the seismogram as they are the fastest moving waves through solids

Compared to the past, rates of soil erosion today are _____. slower more unpredictable faster about the same
JulijaS [17]

The correct answer is - faster.

The rates of erosion in the present are faster than what they have been throughout most of the geologic past. The reason for this increase in the speed of the erosion has primarily been attributed to the human activity. The humans tend to destroy lot of vegetation, be it forests, shrub-lands, or grasslands in order to clear up space for their activities and needs. This leads to much higher exposure of the soil to the process of erosion. The reason for that is that the soil is losing its natural protector form the erosion, the plants and their roots, which are holding the soil tightly and also provide cover for it. Once this natural protection is gone, the soil becomes loos, nothing is holding it, so the natural elements are eroding it very easy and quick.
