Answer:

The seismic waves that result from the interference of P and S waves are the Rayleigh waves.

Explanation:

Both the P waves and the S waves fall in the category of body waves that travel through the interiors of Earth.

Because the P waves travel about 60% faster than the S waves, they reach to the surface of the Earth before the S waves do.

The S waves follow the P waves to reach the surface and create a rolling effect like that of sea waves.

This interference of the P and the S waves results in the formation of Rayleigh waves.

If a substance has a half-life of 10 million years, what fraction of the atoms

nadya68 [22]

Answer is 1/4 of the atoms

at 0 years it would be the full amount (X)

at 10 million years you have half: X/2

at 20 million years you have 1/4 because: (X/2)/2 will equal 1/4

What type of angle is it? What is the measurement?

romanna [79]

Below I have included an image that has the measure of all of the angles on it.

We can find the measures of the angles here due to the laws about complimentary angles. A pair of complimentary angles can be formed when 2 lines are perpendicular, and when added together, will always equal 90. The pair are the angles that are not directly adjacent from each other. In this figure, "x" and "(4x-10)" are a pair. According to another law, opposite angles, or adjacent angles, will always be equal to each other. Using the logic above is how we can find the measure of all angles.

Since one angle has a box, we know the lines are perpendicular, and that the laws of complimentary angles apply. We can also use that to see that the angle diagonal from it is equal to 90.

To solve for the other measures, we need to add the 2 equations together and set them equal to 90 (because of that law we talked about before).

x+(4x-10)=90
5x-10=90
+10+10
5x=100
/5 /5
x=20

Now that we know x equals 20, we can substitute that value in and solve.

x=20

=(4x-10)
=(4*20-10)
=(80-10)
=70

We also know this is correct because 20 and 70 equal 90.
