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.

the gulf stream is a major ocean current. Where does the current travel, and how does it affect climate conditions in Europe?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean.

Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate.

The Piri Reis map was developed by an Ottoman admiral and cartographer.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct response is that it accurately depicts Option D: the coasts of Western Europe and Africa.

Explanation:

The Piri Reis is a map dated about 1513 and it was developed by an admiral and cartographer of the same name, Peri Reis. It is significant because it shows a very early interest in world exploration but there are several inaccuracies evident. The southern tip of South America is not accurate nor is the coastline in North America except for what might be Newfoundland. The most accurate parts of the map are the coasts of Western Europe and North Africa, and the coastline of Brazil is also fairly accurate across the Atlantic.

Give an introduction about hepatitis B along with its symptoms and preventive measures​
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hepatitis B is a viral infection. This infection attacks the liver and is a source of acute and chronic disease. It is transmitted by body fluids like blood, and can also be transmitted by sex if one is infected, or by childbirth by the infected mother. It is also transmitted if people are sharing needles or syringes. So prevention would be done by practicing safe sex, testing ourselves before we have kids, and using clean syringes and needles that nobody used before us. Besides these, there is a vaccination that is safe and works.

Most don't report symptoms when infected. But some can experience illness for several weeks and their skin starts yellowing along with the eyes, urine becomes darker, nausea and fatigue along with vomiting or abdominal pain.
