P Waves are compressional and the fastest moving seismic wave

S waves are slower than P waves and they can only travel through solid rock. S waves move the particles it pushes through up and down or side to side.

Answer:

Explanation:

P WAVES are also called Primary waves. The properties of a primary wave include:

• They are longitudinal and compressional waves by nature

• They travel much faster than other waves

• They travel through the earth to reach the seismograph stations first

• They can travel through any kind of material, including fluids

• They travel at the speed of sound, so they travel at the speed of sound

S WAVES are also called Secondary waves. The properties of a secondary wave include:

• They are transverse and shear waves in nature

• They arrive at the seismograph stations after the fast- movign P-waves

• They can travel onlt through solids

• They are slower than P-waves,a nd speeds are normally 65% of that of P-waves

Explanation:

An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt). Groundwater can be extracted using a water well. The study of water flow in aquifers and the characterization of aquifers is called hydro geology.

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

The correct option is: a deficiency of dopamine in the substantia nigra.

Explanation:

The substantia nigra is the principal site involved in the physiopathology of Parkinson´s disease.

Cells from this area degenerate and die progressively causing important degeneration in the central nervous system. The cells that die -with no known reason- are those that produce dopamine and proportionate dopaminergic innervation to the encephalon. In fact, almost all the symptoms exhibited by patients with the disease can be explained by the lack of dopamine in the substantia nigra.

This area uses the neurotransmitter to communicate neurons from the base ganglia. Ganglia are responsible of modulating and modifying movements.

The nigrostriatal system participates in planning and automatic execution of learned movements. When the ganglia activity decreases, so it does the amount and velocity of movements, something typical of the disease.

Why do identical twins have the same physical characteristics, whereas regular siblings are not identical?

jonny [76]

It’s because unlike twins the regular siblings aren’t born on the same date or a couple minutes apart, but rather a couple years old or younger.
