The answer is "5 minutes and 35 seconds".

Earthquakes create three kinds of seismic waves which are:P-waves that are primary waves, S-waves that are secondary wavesand surface waves,which land at seismic account stations in a steady progression.Both P and S waves enter the inside of the Earth while surface waves don't. Because of this, P and S waves are known as "body waves"

Which one is the correct question? Please also being timed thanks!
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The Continental Divide is important because it separates two major watersheds.

Explanation:

The Continental Divide is a chain of mountain ranges that runs through North America, from Alaska to Panama. This chain of mountain ranges is dividing the continent into two major watersheds. It runs through eastern Alaska, western Canada, western United States, and through the central parts of Mexico and Central America.

The waters from the eastern side of this watershed divide mostly end up in the Atlantic Ocean and its seas, and partially in the Arctic Ocean and its sea. The waters from the western side of this watershed divide end up in the Pacific Ocean and its seas. The eastern watershed has significantly more water running through it than the western one, with the main reason being that the eastern one is significantly larger.
