I believe that the seismograph shows the difference of time between the arrival of the two types of waves and this can be read right off the seismograph recording. Also, to get the distance of the earthquake from the recording spot one can derive the average velocity from Vp x Vs/Vp-Vs=km/sec x difference in time of arrival of the two equals the distance to the epicentre, This is where Vp = velocity of P wave and Vs = velocity of S waves.

An object of the same mass has three different weights at diffrent times. Which statement is possible
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

So we want to know how can an object have three different weights at different times. So weight is Fg=m*g, where m is the mass of the objecct and g is the gravitational acceleration. On Earth, g=9.81 m/s^2, in space g is much less and on the moon g=1.625 m/s^2 So we see that the object changes its weight by moving it to space and on the Moon.

What single feature is primarily responsible for the variation of climate throughout different times of the year?
konstantin123 [22]

The Sun is the basic source of energy for the Earth which affect the growth of all living things and the Sun also affect the all the biochemical processes. We know that the amount of radiation from the Sun changes day by day due to the distance of the Earth from the Sun. The rate of Solar energy affects the Earth in two ways.

The rate of solar heating which directly affects the processes like the evaporation and condensation and indirectly it affects the cloud forming processes of the Earth. The rate at which the solar energy reaches the Earth is called as the Total Solar Irradiance or TSI. This affects the climate of the Earth in many ways.

The change in rate of cloud formation increases of decreases with the distance of the Sun from Earth and hence a warm, moderate or cold climate is formed

It also affects the formation of winds due to the low or high pressure in the water bodies and hence affect the climate in the coastal areas.

The tropical areas have hot and humid climate due to the equator which has maximum exposure to the Sun’s heat.

Hence, the Sun is one primary feature that affects the climate in the Earth.
