Answer:

C.  P waves move matter back and forth, in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave, while S waves move matter up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

P and S - waves are both called seismic waves. They are produced during deformation within the earth.

Usually, P or Primary waves have the fastest velocity and arrives at the seismic station first. Secondary, Shear or S-waves follows P-waves.

  • P-waves are body waves that propagates within a body. They cause movement internally.
  • Secondary waves are surface waves. They move on the surface of earth.
  • One way to also distinguish between these two seismic waves is that, P-waves are longitudinal waves that travels parallel or longitudinally to the source.
  • Secondary waves moves in an up and down motion pattern. They propagate transversely to their source.

With the remaining 3 /4 gallon of honey , Lila decided to bake some loaves of bread and several batches of cookies for her schoo
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

1/3 gallon

Explanation:

Gallon of honey remaining = 3/4 gallons

Gallon of honey needed for bread = 1/6

Gallon of honey needed for cookies = 1/4

Total gallon of honey used for loaves of bread and cookies

= 1/6 + 1/4

= (4+6)/24

= 10/24

= 5/12

Total gallons of honey left over = Gallon of honey remaining - gallon of honey used

= 3/4 - 5/12

= 9-5/12

= 4/12

= 1/3 gallon

Gallon of honey leftover = 1/3 gallon
