The Earth’s interior is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. Scientists used waves and their speed to study the Earth's interior. The speed of seismic waves is affected by the properties of the material the waves pass through. The stiffness of material affects the speed of these waves. P-waves, or pressure waves, go through both liquids and solids, while S-waves, or shear waves go through solids but not liquids. The following helped scientists understand that Earth's interior is liquid: S waves cannot travel through liquids. Correct answer: D
Answer:
Deccan Traps represent a province from west-central part of India.

1. it is the biggest volcanic region from Earth.
2. the altitudes exceed 2000 m.
D. Olduvai Gorge
Explanation:
- From 1935 to 1959, Louis and Mary worked hard in several excavations in Kenya and Tanzania, looking for the remains of early humans. Although they encountered many difficulties, both because of the dangerous and inaccessible terrain and the scarce postwar scientific foundations.
- However, the real breakthrough came in 1959, when one morning in the Olduvai Gorge - a region separating the famous National Park from Tanzania's more famous Serengeti National Park - Mary discovered a 1.75 million-year-old hominid skull, later classified as Parantropus boisei.
- This finding was a strong argument that hominids evolved in Africa.

the prime meridian is 0* longitute and the equator is 0* latitude.
Answer:
The orbit of the Earth
Explanation:
It is widely speculated that orbital mechanics were responsible for the period of lushness that the Sahara desert and Northern Africa lived only 6000 years ago. Due to the changes in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, it is thought that the monsoon effect (season variations in wind patterns that produce a heavy rainy season) was more pronounced across the northern latitudes and resulted in the Sahara being much wetter than it is today.
