Answer:

b. P waves

Explanation:

A P-wave is one of the two main types of elastic body waves, called seismic waves in seismology. P-waves travel faster than other seismic waves and hence are the first signal from an earthquake to arrive at any affected location or at a seismograph. P-waves may be transmitted through gases, liquids, or solids. Primary waves are alternatingly compressional and extensional, and cause the rocks they pass through to change in volume. These waves are the fastest traveling seismic waves and can travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Also called P wave. See Note at earthquake. P Waves are compressional which means they move through (compress) a solid or liquid by pushing or pulling similar to the way sound travels through the air. The particles of the material a P Wave pushes through move in the direction of the P wave's energy.

You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Absolute zero

Explanation:

A Bose-Einstein condensate is known as the fifth state of matter which is made of a collection of ultra cooled atoms (at almost absolute zero degrees -273.15 °C) such that the there is very slight free energy within the atoms which results in almost no relative motion between the atoms. The atoms then combine forming clumps such that phenomena usually observed at the microscopic level such as wavefunction interference become observable at the microscopic level.

Magma from the mantle rises and flows out through a vent onto Earth's surface as lava. This molten material, sometimes along with ash, cinders, and rock, builds up a mountain around the vent. The vent and its mountain together are called a sediment.
