If you could dig a tunnel right through the Earth you could theoretically free-fall to the centre of our planet in just eighteen minutes. You can’t, of course: such a tunnel would have to tolerate temperatures as high as the surface of the Sun and pressures three and a half million times greater than those at the Earth’s surface.

P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) Since both P and S wave travels the same distance, so it can be written as:    Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂,

Where, V₁- Speed of S wave

            V₂- Speed of P wave

            t₁- time taken by S wave

            t₂- time taken by P wave

Therefore, t₁ > t₂ (since, time taken by S wave is longer than P wave)

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 1.5 min

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 90 sec

⇒ V₁ (t₂ + 90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₁t₂ + V₁ (90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₂t₂ - V₁t₂ = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ (V₂- V₁) = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ = {V₁ (90 sec)} ÷ {(V₂- V₁)}

⇒ t₂ = {5.5 × (90 sec)} ÷ {(8.5 - 5.5)}

Therefore, t₂ = 165 sec

Since, Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂

Now, Δx = V₂t₂ = (8.5 × 165 sec)

⇒ Δx = 1402 km

Therefore, Δx is approximately 1400 km (this means that the earthquake occurred at a distance of about 1400 km from the recorded seismic station)

(b) No, Only seismic station is not sufficient to detect the epicenter of an earthquake. Seismologists and geologists usually use the triangulation method in order to determine the exact location of the epicenter. This is possible by the use of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations nearby to that earthquake occurring position.

How can you tell the season based on where the Earth is facing​
g100num [7]

Answer:

The Earth is constantly changing its position with the sun as the Earth tilts in relation to the sun. This creates the differences in the seasons and the annual warming and cooling cycles of the Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

Explanation:

  • When the North Pole tilts most toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer.
  • Spring and  Autumn) occur midway on the Earth’s journey from winter to summer and from summer to winter.
  • On March 20 or 21 of each year, the Earth reaches the vernal equinox, which marks the arrival of Spring in the north and Autumn in the south. The autumnal equinox occurs on September 22-23 and marks the arrival of Fall in the north and Spring in the south.
  • When it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and this has nothing to do with how close or far the Earth gets to or away from the Sun in its orbit. It’s all because the Earth is tilted on its axis.
