The correct answer is 2.2 km/s

Earthquake is a natural disaster when the tectonic plates of the Earth starts vibrating. The speed of earthquake is the velocity by which the waves will vibrate the Earth.

Given,

Wavelength λ= 13 km

Frequency f = 10 times/min

it vibrates 10 times each minute

so the frequency is defined by the number of vibrations per second

f = 10 per minute

f = 10/60

now the speed of wave is defined as

v = λ * f

v = 13 * (1/6)

v = 2.2 km/s

Therefore the speed at which the wave of earthquake having wavelength 13 km causes the ground to vibrate is 2.2 km/s.

A caregiver's love, affection, and acceptance are considered conditional if they're given only when the child is well-behaved or
murzikaleks [220]

Hello there!  Yes, this is a TRUE statement.

Conditional means something happens on the condition of something else happening. In this case, the something else happening is if the child "child is well-behaved or meets set expectations", and the thing happening because of this is the caregiver's " love, affection, and acceptance". If the child was not any of the things listed, the caregiver would not be the things listed.

I hope this helps, have a great day! :)
