Geography

Amanda [17]3 years ago

<u>ANSWER:</u>

The time difference between the 'first S wave' and the 'first P wave' helps in determining the distance of the 'seismic station' from the epicenter.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • This S-P interval can be used to calculate the 'magnitude of the earthquake' once it is used to determine 'how many millimeters the ground moves' at the seismic station.
  • This measurement can be done when the distance between the epicenter and the seismic station is known.
  • The S-P interval helps to know the actual distance and thereby by plotting the time interval and the distance, the 'magnitude of the earthquake' at the epicenter can be known.

Dedu influenta caldurii interne a pamantului asupra proceselor tectonice endogene
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

No heat no endogenous tectonic processes.

Explanation:

There is a great influence of the earth's internal heat on endogenous tectonic processes  because the internal heat causes the plates to melt due to which earthquakes occur. Without this internal heat of earth, no endogenous tectonic processes occur because these processes require heat to happen so we can say that internal heat of the earth has a great impact on the happening of endogenous tectonic processes.

postnew [5]

Answer:

force of gravity

Explanation:

The gravitational force between Earth and the moon is strong. But the force is not strong enough to pull the moon towards us. That's why the moon doesn't fall on Earth.
