Answer is liquid ; solid

Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by an earthquake. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. Since they are a mechanical wave, requires a medium to travel. P or primary wave and S or shear wave are seismic waves.  P- Wave is a compression or longitudinal wave which can travel through solids, liquids and gasses. S-wave is a transverse wave and can only travel through solids. The movement of seismic waves depends on the density and elastic properties of the medium through which they travel. These waves travel faster in solid than in liquid.

Trees use narrow tubes to transport water upward. Which property of water allows the water to rise in these narrow tubes?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

C. Cohesion of molecules

Explanation:

Cohesion is the interaction of molecules of the same substance together. By the force of cohesion if two drops of water come together they form one. Water has high rates of cohesion due to hydrogen bonds.  

This phenomenon also called surface tension and is what allows small insects to stand on water.

Cohesion along with adhesion of water to the walls of the narrow tube generate what is called capillarity. This allows liquids to ascend inside the narrow tubes. As long as the cohesion is less than the adhesion, the liquid will rise until both forces are equal.

A(n) ________ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.
Artist 52 [7]

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument, and its principal function is to protect the body and avoid dehydration. Option C is correct. Cuticle.

<h3>What is the cuticle?</h3>

The cuticle is the most exterior layer of arthropods' tegument. It is secreted by the epidermis and develops right over it.

It is composed of two main layers,

  • epicuticle ⇒ outermost layer
  • procuticle ⇒ inner layer

The cuticle is mainly made of chitin, and its function is to protect the organism's body and avoid dehydration.

Because it avoids dehydration it is believed that arthropods had such an evolutive and adaptative successful in their transition from water to the land.

The cuticle also provides support to the body and a muscle attachment surface.

The correct option is C. Cuticle

A _<u>Cuticle</u>_ is a hard outside covering that is used for protection and prevents the inner body area from drying out.
