Earth’s outer core will not transmit S waves because it is made of _____.

Biology

EleoNora [17]3 years ago

The answer is liquid(molten material)

The S waves are called shear waves. The core is made up of molten material which does not allows S waves to be transmitted through it. The waves coming from mantle is not further transferred and is absorbed by the core. The waves are not transmitted through the outer core and this makes a shadow zone. The waves are not recorded at the shadow part. The phenomenon is used to predict the size of the core which is 3470 kilometers in radius.

The S waves can’t travel through liquids and the Earth’s outer core is molten.  When the S waves reach the lithosphere’s liquid core, it gets reflected.  S waves travel through solids only, thus Earth’s outer core will not transmit S waves.

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

(a) can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes.

Explanation:

The adherens junctions are cell-cell adhesions localized in places exposed to abrasion or mechanical stress, close to the apical membrane in epithelial cells is one of these locations. Some of their functions are the initiation and stabilization of cell-cell adhesion, <em>they join the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane to form adhesive contacts between cells that contribute to the folding and bending of epithelial sheets,</em> therefore they can mediate adhesion and signaling.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
