For earthquakes, there is a lapsed time between the arrival of the
p-wave and the s-wave, because the waves travel at different speeds. The length
of this period of time determine the
distance to the epicenter.
Earthquakes create seismic waves. P waves are faster than S
waves. As the P and S waves move out from an earthquake, the P waves get ahead
of the S waves. The distance of a seismic station from an earthquake can be
determined from the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P
wave and the first S wave.
The main difference between geography and geology
is that geography is mostly dealing with the physical overall shapes of
the land. Geology is a science that is interested in how the land got
into the shape it did.
Geology is mostly about what the ground is
made up of from a natural perspective. What kind of rocks it contains
and how those rocks or layers of rocks got there.
Geography is
mostly dealing with mapping the extent of landforms, how far rivers are,
how long mountain ranges are, how long the coast line is. This is often
from the perspective of people or culture.
Answer:
Geomorphology, as a critical component of physical geography, is needed to understand natural landform changes and potential hazards for populations.

Answer:
A) Unlike other maps, topographic maps indicate man-made and natural landforms.
Explanation:
B is wrong because the locations of countries and cities are found in many maps and are considered very common.
C is wrong because like B, compass roses are very common on maps.
D is wrong because like B, boundary lines are very common on maps.
