Answer:
Option (4)
Explanation:
Seismic P and S waves are generated during an earthquake that has the potential to propagate through the interior of the earth. P waves are also known as the primary waves and they move in a compression and extension way in their direction of propagation. S waves are shear waves. This P waves travel faster than the S waves and can travel in both solid as well as in liquid. Whereas the S wave can travel only through solids. They get absorbed when they reach the core-mantle boundary. These two waves are helpful in determining the epicenter of an earthquake by recording the arrival of these waves.
Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
Answer:
Oman
Explanation:
The Al Hajar Mountains, of which the Jebel Akhdar is a part, separate the country into two distinct regions: the interior, known as Oman, and the coastal area dominated by the capital, Muscat.
Calcrete or Caliche is a type of sedimentary rock often found in arid and semiarid regions. It is composed of calcium carbonate with bits of gravel, clay and silt. It is found in Australia, Kalahari Desert, Sonoran and Mojave desert. Note that caliche does not form through dissolution and reprecipitation of rainwater. Rather, it forms when water from the ground rise above through capillary action, bringing up minerals from the ground into the surface.
