What are the energy transformations that occur when a piece of wood is burned?

1 answer:

6 0

The bonds in the wood between the atoms in its structure contain potential energy. Lighting the wood on fire introduces a combustion reaction which ignites this energy. Potential energy is transformed into chemical energy as the wood burns to create heat, smoke (released into the air), and soot (by product of burning the wood).

Explain how scientists use seismic data to learn about the geologic activity and happenings in the earth's interior

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

In physics, we know that waves usually change direction when are refracted or when they penetrate layers with different densities.

Therefore, when a seismic wave penetrates penetrates the boundary of the earth's interior, part of it will be sent back and part will be transmitted into the medium as refraction occurs. When we record the reflected and refracted ray, it enables the calculation of the position of major boundaries in the Earth's interior. This also helps in providing information about the solid & liquid character as well physical properties of the various layers in the medium.
