Longitudinal waves

Biology
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Longitudinal waves  have particle movement parallel to the direction of the energy.

Explanation:

A type of wave in which the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the propagation of the wave is known as a longitudinal wave. A sound wave traveling through air is an example of a longitudinal wave. Here, the particles vibrate back and forth in a direction parallel to the energy transport.

A type of wave in which the medium's particle movement is perpendicular to the direction of the propagation of the wave (or the direction of the energy transport) is known as a transverse wave. Transverse waves and longitudinal waves can travel through a solid medium. Longitudinal waves can travel through fluid mediums (liquid or gas) like air or water while transverse waves require a relatively rigid medium to transmit their energy.

Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves that travel through the earth's solid structures. Only longitudinal waves can travel through the earth's core. An electromagnetic wave is produced by the vibration of charged particles and can transmit its energy through a vacuum. An example is light waves.

Make a list of countries/states around the world that insects currently do not reside in.
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Iceland, and states like Washington DC. , South Dakota, Connecticut, Idaho, New Hampshire, Delaware, North Dakota, Illinois.

Explanation:

Iceland is one of the only places where people live without insects.

The reason why Iceland does not have mosquitos or other insects is its oceanic climate that keeps them away.

The insects freeze 3 times a year, which makes their survival in Iceland impossible.

The other states are not completely insect-free, however, their number is so small that is considered as like they don't exist.

lions [1.4K]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. Environmental influences include family dynamics, neighborhood quality, and educational opportunities. These influences involve everything that surrounds an individual. The environment one is subjected to greatly affects the totality of that person may it be psychological, social, physical, behavior or attitude, beliefs and perception. For instance, if a child grow up in an environment that is healthy where relationships are nurtured and love and respect is present between members, then most likely this child would grow with great self esteem and would have the same characteristics as the people he lived with.
