The two lines of longitude that are found opposite from one another will always add up to?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer: 360°

Explanation;

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that used along with latitudes allow us to be able to locate points on Earth. Longitudes are drawn vertically on maps with the most popular one being the Prime( Greenwich) meridian.

As the Earth is spherical, the lines of longitude encircle the Earth which means that an entire longitudinal line will be 360°. As maps are flattened out, the longitudinal line is divided into 2 such that the longitudinal lines seen on a map are 180° each. When a line of longitude is added to its opposite, they will reform the original line that runs around the earth thereby making 360°.

How long does it take the seismic waves to pass directly through the Earth?
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

It ranges from 2 to 13 km/s depends upon composition.

Explanation:

The velocity of seismic waves are different throughout the earth because of different composition of the layers inside the earth. Velocity of seismic waves increases with depth and it is approximately 2 to 8 km/s in the Earth's crust whereas, 13 km/s in the deep mantle so it means the velocity of seismic waves is higher in the mantle as compared to earth's crust due to different composition of layers between the mantle and earth crust.
