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.

Mexico is a country where the social life and culture are a mixture of European and Mesoamerican traits.

Explanation:

Mexico is a country that has been part of the Spanish colonization. This has resulted in big impact by the Spanish, especially in the culture. While the Spanish imposed their own cultural traits, lot of the cultural traits of the local population shave also been kept.

The cultural landscape of Mexico nowadays is a mixture between the Spanish culture and the Mesoamerican cultures. The large cities tend to be leaning more toward the Spanish culture, while the rural areas tend to lean more toward the Mesoamerican cultures.

Unfortunately, lot of bad characteristics have been preserved from both of the different cultures that created the modern day Mexican culture. Such things have been the imposing of power over the poor and treating them as slaves, the development of local powerhouses based on criminal activities, thus the cartels, and the brutal and seeming casual murders, often of innocent people.

Some of the Mesoamerican cultures that have contributed to the Mexican culture are:

  • Aztec
  • Zapotec
  • Maya
  • Toltec
