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 and Explanation:
In case, the major ocean currents stops or slows down, the heat distribution on the Earth will be affected in the following ways:
- There would be quite significant climatic changes.
- It affects one of the major phenomena in the ocean , the thermohaline circulation of the ocean which is responsible for the supply of heat to the polar areas.
- Heat distribution is affected in such a way that keeps the warm water of the equatorial region remains in the same region and can not delivered to the polar areas.
- This phenomena results in more heat in the equatorial region and colder polar areas.
The Geological who maps the location of volcanoes and studies global patterns is called as <u>primarily geology</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The geologist who maps the location of volcanoes and studies global patterns is the one studying earth science ( primarily geology) which describes the physical contribution of the earth, processes related to the earth and it's atmosphere.
Earth science has 4 branches but geology is the prime branch of earth science. Geology in earth science deals with-natural hazards, works to protect earth's environment and also deals with earth's material and processes.
The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.
The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.
