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.

In all 3 areas, the ethnic minorities were trying to achieve some sort of degree in autonomy or independence. In Quebec the movement is very peaceful and friendly, also very political, and some people are very satisfied with the right of language in the Canadian Confederation.
In Xinjiang the Uighur minority wanted independence from china, reason? Because of the major lack of political problems.
And lastly, in Chechnya (and only there) they have the independence movement that spread to the civil war with terrorism and also in other parts of russia. So it is prettys confusing once you think about it, but after all it's simple. :P <span />

Discuss the features of Alexandria that show it was a center of Hellenistic Culture.
Vlad [161]
Alexandria was a center of Hellenistic culture because it was founded by Alexander the Great of Macedon prior to his death. Following his death, Ptolemy took control of what was more or less Ancient Egypt and designated Alexandria as its capital. Despite its location in Egypt, Alexandria was laid out with a Grecian city plan (grid-like with straight roads). Additionally, it contained things like a theatre, library, and museum which were Greek in origin, not Egyptian. Hellenistic stems from the world Hellas which means Greece and thus Hellenistic features are predominately Greek and focus on arts, knowledge, and trade within the Mediterranean world.
