<h2>
Answer:D</h2>
Explanation:
Option A:
Surface waves are neither transverse nor longitudinal.They traverse perpendicularly or parallel to the wave's motion along the interface between different media.
Option B:
Transverse waves vibrate perpendicularly to the direction of the propagation of the wave.
Option C:
Sound is a longitudinal wave.Not a transverse wave.
Option D:
Transverse waves don't require a medium for propagation.But they propagate in medium too.
Answer:
The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.
Explanation:
Given that,
Amplitude = 10 cm
Radial frequency 
Bulk modulus = 40 MPa
Density = 1000 kg/m³
We need to calculate the velocity of the wave in the medium
Using formula of velocity

Put the value into the formula


We need to calculate the wavelength
Using formula of wavelength


Put the value into the formula


Hence, The wavelength of the wave is 20 m.
Explanation:
The water cycle basically involves five steps:
- evaporation and transpiration ⇄
- condensation, ⇄
- precipitation, ⇄
- runoff, ⇄
- infiltration ⇄
So when a <u>thunderstorm </u>occurs it <em>helps in completing the precipitation process </em>by enabling the release of water vapor stored up in the atmosphere to fall on the ground as rain.
After this, the water <em>runoffs </em><em>to the surface of the ground, on plants, into rocks, rivers, and lakes.</em>
Next, the <em>Infiltration process</em> enables the water on the ground surface to enter the soil some of which becomes groundwater.
The cycle begins again as the<em> </em><em>evaporation and transpiration</em> <em>process </em>begins, where the groundwater as a result of heat from the sun is taken back into the atmosphere, while water in plants by means of transpiration goes back <em>into the atmosphere</em>.
It then <em>condenses </em>and falls back as precipitation again.
