The Earth’s interior is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. Scientists used waves and their speed to study the Earth's interior. The speed of seismic waves is affected by the properties of the material the waves pass through. The stiffness of material affects the speed of these waves. P-waves, or pressure waves, go through both liquids and solids, while S-waves, or shear waves go through solids but not liquids. The following helped scientists understand that Earth's interior is liquid: S waves cannot travel through liquids. Correct answer: D

What role do plate tectonics play in the formation of mountains in South Asia? Explain the processes.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer

Mountain building caused by a Convergent plate boundary between the colliding Indian and the Eurasian plates.

Explanation:

The country of India is located on the Indian Plate and is currently colliding with the Eurasian plate which is creating the Himalayan Mountain Range along with other structural geologic formations.

Convergent Plate Boundary's are the result of two plates colliding with each other this could be oceanic-continental,  oceanic-oceanic, and continental-continental. The Indian and Eurasian plates are both continental, there is no subduction between the two plates so no volcanism is present in the area.

(On maps the Indo-Australian Plate is sometimes combined with the Indian Plate but they are widely considered separate).

In your own words, explain why sinkholes are very common in florida. list one use of sinkholes in florida.
Marina86 [1]

Beneath Florida are structures made up mostly with carbonaceous rock such as limestone and dolostone overlaid with mixtures of sand and clay. When groundwater passes through this structure, the carbonates are slowly dissolved and thus creating sinkholes.

<span>For centuries, sinkholes have found popular use as disposal sites for various forms of waste.</span>
