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.

Which statement regarding the hypothalamus is FALSE?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

All the options are correct regarding hypothalamus.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is the part of the forebrain. The diencephalon is divisible into 2 parts - thalamus and hypothalamus. It regulates various functions of the body.

This is the thermoregulatory center of the body. It gives the signal to sweat during a hot environment and shiver in winter. This maintains the water balance in the body by stimulating the secretion of ADH hormone in the kidney.

Hypothalamus also has regulated anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Thus it controls the endocrine secretion of pituitary glands.

This plays an important role in hunger and thirst. The feeding habits like the licking of lips, swallowing, and salivating by seeing delicious foods is due to hypothalamic activities.

The behavioral activities of individuals influenced by the hypothalamus.  It is worked along with the limbic system of the brain. The behavioral activities include fear, punishment and sexual desire.
