Answer:

- body waves

- surface waves

Explanation:

The earthquakes produce two major types of seismic waves, body waves and surface waves. The body waves are the seismic waves that travel through the layers of the Earth. The surface waves are the waves that only travel on the surface of the Earth and the surface of the water bodies. The earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that occurs most at places where there is more intense geologic activity. Because the crust is cracking and breaking deep inside, lot of adjustments occur, and through the adjustments, lot of energy is released, which is manifested through these two types of waves.

Answer: B (130)
Explanation:
A trapezoidal Riemann sum can be found by multiplying the width (the change in x) of each sub interval by the average of the y values of the two points at either end of the section and then adding up all of the sun intervals. Therefore, the trapezoidal approximation would equal 0.5(40) + 1.5(50) + 1(35) to get the answer of 130.

What form of energy do you think microwave ovens use? Explain your reasoning.

jonny [76]

Microwaves are a form of "electromagnetic" radiation; that is, they are waves of electrical and magnetic energy moving together through space. Electromagnetic radiation spans a broad spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays.
