Answer: S waves description include the following statement: THEY MOVE SIDE TO SIDE, THEY ARRIVE AFTER P WAVES, THEY TRAVEL THROUGH SOLIDS.

Explanation: -S wave moves side to side because its motion/oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation. This type of wave is known as TRANSVERSE WAVE.

-S wave arrives after P wave because they are slower; P wave speed is about 6.8km per second while S wave speed is about 3.8km per second.

Again, S wave energy is not easily transmitted through the medium it's moving compared to P wave because it's wave motion is TRANSVERSE WAVE which can also be called SHEAR WAVE.

S wave, therefore, is the second wave you feel during an earthquake.

-S wave travels through solid rocks because rocks have shear strength/rigidity. Shear strength holds rocks together and allows them to resist gravity pull. Therefore, the shear strength in rocks allows shear wave which is found in S wave to move through them.

How does the heliocentric model work ?​
UkoKoshka [18]

Explanation:

Heliocentrism is the astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System. Historically, heliocentrism was opposed to geocentrism, which placed the Earth at the center.

Brut [27]

Answer:

a. I only

Explanation:

This is the state that would be the least impacted by gerrymandering. Gerrymandering refers to a practice of establishing an advantage for a political party by manipulating district boundaries. There are two main ways of doing so, which are "cracking" (minimizing the voting power of a group by splitting it over several districts) and "packing" (concentrating the whole group in one single district to minimize their power in other ones). A state that is diverse in all of its districts is unlikely to be affected by gerrymandering.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

Lithosphere refers to all the portions on earth where life exists. In simple words, the lithosphere is the layer that is comprised of the crust and a small portion of the upper mantle. Here the rocks are solid in nature.

Biosphere refers to the region that includes the land surfaces, hydrosphere as well as the atmosphere in which life exists and interacts. It occurs both above and below the earth's surface.

The rocks are disintegrated by both physical and chemical processes. These rocks when they are broken apart into smaller particles, then these sediments or rock particles are deposited in the soil that provides the necessary materials for the plants to grow.  

Thus, the two spheres with which it interacts are the lithosphere and the biosphere.

Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
