First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:

As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.

How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

Study of the seismic waves

Explanation:

  • The earthquake is a sudden release of wave energy in the earth and reaches the surface form the weakest points and this is said to be focus of the earthquakes they tend to in the form of the P, S, L waves and they have been studied through the help of the seismograph and the Richter scale, that records the slightest earth movements and thus helps in understanding the surface in the earth at greater depths.
  • <u>As these waves past through the earth material they bend, turn like the rays of light and this creates shadow zones due to the presence of a discontinuous zone under the earth like the gaps between the upper crust and the lower mantle is called as the Gutenberg discontinuity.  </u>

What is the traditional economic practice in africa
Lynna [10]


The traditional economic practice in Africa is primarily herding. Many African tribes and communities regard cattle as part and parcel of their lives and wealth. For example, the Maasai tribe found in Tanzania and Kenya have for centuries engaged in herding as their way of life, a tradition that is very much alive even today.

The Maasai are semi- nomads. They traverse the land with their cattle in search of pasture. They leave the women and the little ones behind in their Kraals as they travel considerable distances to look for pasture. They do not dwell in urban areas but in the open plains where their cattle are free to graze.  However, they have taken their children to school and a new generation that is savvy of current times has emerged but still fiercely proud of their traditions and way of life.
