For earthquakes, there is a lapsed time between the arrival of the p-wave and the s-wave, because the waves travel at different speeds. The length of this period of time determine the distance to the epicenter.

Earthquakes create seismic waves. P waves are faster than S waves. As the P and S waves move out from an earthquake, the P waves get ahead of the S waves. The distance of a seismic station from an earthquake can be determined from the time difference between the time of arrival of the first P wave and the first S wave.

Can someone please explain why there are bands of winds, some moving east and some moving west? (40 POINTS WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Weather is a complex phenomena. in order to solve engineering problems such as the prediction of weather, we utilize degrees of freedom (DoF)... weather is one of the many elements that need millions of DoF and still cannot accurately predict it. mainly it's a vector analysis much akin to finite element analysis where each micro degree of freedom or say molecule of air is represented as one point interconnected in a web of points and each point's properties are altered relatively (similar principles how autonomous mini drones coordinate synchoronously) to each other.

many factors are considered: pressure, temperature and density of the air for sure. friction factors. drag factors. rotation of the earth. and that's the natural phenomena. include the heat given off the land, the radiation from the sun, airplanes, people, etc... its highly complicated. having done a weather station project, it's fair to say that there isn't a simple answer to your simple question. we measured wind direction, wind current, temp and humidity, visibility, pressure, etc... and we couls measure these things, but can't really say why say the wind went east or west... except tell you that its because of millions of degrees of freedom interacting with each other simultaneously and some things like weather are just like that.

<em>The Crusades:</em>

<em>The Crusades were military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages.</em>

<em>Effects of the crusades:</em>

<em>The crusades kept all Europe in tumult for two centuries and cost Christendom several millions of lives. The holy wars affected indirectly and became an important factor in the history of the progress of civilization.</em>
