S waves can't go through liquids. S waves do pass through the mantle to the core. On certain parts of the earth's surface there are "shadow zones" or places where these waves are not transmitted.

A material through which a current does not move easily is a(n) _____.
barxatty [35]
<span>A material through which a current does not move easily is called
an insulator.

Technically, charges CAN move through an insulator, but they lose
a lot of energy doing it, so the current that flows through the insulator
is very very small, usually too small to even measure.

Another way to look at it:  Insulators have high resistance.

Compare the freezing point of water in the aquanaut’s apartment to its value at the surface. Is it higher, lower, or the same?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Freezing Point - Lower

Boiling Point - Higher

Solid- liquid transition line in the phase diagram has a negative slope, but the liquid-gas transition line has a positive slope. Since there is more air pressure at 100m it will take less to freeze the water but more to boil it since it requires a larger temperature under larger pressures

.Ryan boiled a liter of water and then stirred sugar into it, adding more sugar until no more would dissolve in the water, creat
kaheart [24]

Answer: The correct option is that all of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top

Explanation:

Solution in the field of Chemistry is usually made up of two or more substances which contains a solute that dissolves in a solvent.

A solution can either be:

-> Saturated

--> Unsaturated or

-> Supersaturated.

A saturated solution is a solution with solutes that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore leaving the undissolved solute beneath.

When there is mixture of a solute and a solvent in a solution the reactions that occurs are called crystallization and dissolution. Crystallization causes solid solutes to remain undissolved while dissolution is simply the dissolving process of the solute.

When Ryan added more sugar after reaching the saturation point of the mixture, the process of crystallization set in which surpassed the process of dissolution of the sugar solute leading to precipitation of the solute of out the solution.
