The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the first option. <span>P waves and S waves are alike in that they travel in the same manner. P and S waves are the categories of the vibrations of earthquakes. They both travel in the Earth's surface. Hope this answer helps.</span>

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

travel through solids

P waves and S waves are alike in that they<u> both travel through solids</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>P-waves and S-waves are types of seismic waves.</u></em> These waves are produced during an earthquake, that transmit energy released around the earth.
  • <u><em>P-waves travel the fastest and also travel through solids, liquids and gases. </em></u>They are push and pull waves and thus they cause rock particles to move back and forth.
  • <u><em>S-wave son the other hand arrive at a given point after the p-waves. They do not travel as fast as P-waves. They travel through solids but not in liquids and gases.</em></u> S -waves cause the rocks to move side to side.

How to determine the center of gravity of a lamina​
goldenfox [79]
Take a lamina with three holes near the periphery of the lamina, now suspend the lamina through them, one by one. Draw a line of equilibrium for each suspension point. The point of intersection of these three lines would be the centre of gravity.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Earthquakes happen when rock below the Earth's surface moves abruptly. Usually, the rock is moving along large cracks in Earth's crust called faults. Most earthquakes happen at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates because that's where there is usually a large concentration of faults. Some faults crack through the Earth because of the stress and strain of the moving plates. Other, large faults are the boundary between plates, such as the San Andreas Fault on the North American west coast.

Since earthquakes happen along faults and most faults are near plate boundaries, the yellow dots in the animation are found mostly at the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates.

A subduction zone is the biggest crash scene on Earth. These boundaries mark the collision between two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's surface over millions of years.

Where two tectonic plates meet at a subduction zone, one bends and slides underneath the other, curving down into the mantle. (The mantle is the hotter layer under the crust.)  

Tectonic plates can transport both continental crust and oceanic crust, or they may be made of only one kind of crust. Oceanic crust is denser than continental crust. At a subduction zone, the oceanic crust usually sinks into the mantle beneath lighter continental crust. (Sometimes, oceanic crust may grow so old and that dense that it collapses and spontaneously forms a subduction zone, scientists think.)
