Answer;

-Waves

Explanation;

-The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth.

-When seismometers are put on the surface of the Earth, these waves can be measured. In particular, if we have enough seismic stations and the quake is big enough, then we can take all the travel time information and invert it. That means we can obtain a graph that shows the density of rock as a function of depth.

-Once we know the density we can estimate what the actual materials are. We find that the earth has a small inner core made out of iron surrounded by a larger outer liquid iron core and that is surrounded by a rocky mantle and rocky crust.

stich3 [128]
The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

Why is gravity an example of a scientific law?
valina [46]
Because a sxientific law is always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements. And so that is why gravity <span>always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.</span>

Which of the following equations is balanced?
Gnesinka [82]

Answer: c

Explanation:

The way to check which one is the correct one is to simply multiply and see if there are the same number of atoms in both sides for each element.

a. 2×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

BOTH MUST BE EQUAL FOR IT TO BE ADJUSTED!!!!!

b. 3×2 atoms of Al ≠ 3×1 atoms of Al

3×3 atoms of O ≠ 2×2 atoms of O

c. 2×2 atoms of Al = 4×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O

BOTH ARE EQUAL, CORRECT ANSWER!!!

d. 2×2 atoms of Al ≠ 1×1 atoms of Al

2×3 atoms of O = 3×2 atoms of O
