Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.

To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.

Answer:

The given question is incomplete. It is missing an attachment which is added below. According to the attachment provided, the solution is as follows-

The seismologists commonly used the triangulation method from the data that is acquired by the seismograph. This method is used by the help of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations. During the time of the earthquake, these seismographs record the data and forms three distinct circles. These three circles obtained from the three seismographs intersect at a common point, and this point is the epicenter of the earthquake.

Thus, from the image, looking at the three circles and the intersecting point the epicenter can be determined.

Therefore, the three seismographs are used at Minneapolis, Detroit, and Charleston in order to find the earthquake epicenter.

Answer:

Explanation:

If we have two solid samples, in order to identify what they are a series of ordered steps have to be performed.

1) The first thing to do is to observe the sample. If there is color it <u>may indicate</u> the presence of certain anions: for example if the sample is purple, it can be because of the presence of the permanganate ion (MnO₄⁻), if it is yellow it can be chromate ion (CrO₄⁻), if it is orange it can be the dichromate Cr₂O₇²⁻), etcetera. If the color of the sample is white we have no indication whatsoever.

2) Then we can use certain reactants to precipitate the cations of the sample. For example, we can add first HCN 3N to our sample. If there is precipitation, it means that the cations Ag⁺ or Pb²⁺ are present. If not, there are other cations and we must use a different reactant to precipitate them.

3) We then add H₂S to the sample (not adding it per se, but generating it heating thioacetamide with water). If we see a black precipitate, it can be because of the cations Pb²⁺, Bi³⁺ or Cu²⁺. If we see a yellow precipitate, it corresponds to Cd²⁺. If we do not see a precipitate, we need to add other reactant.

4) We add NaOH to the sample. If we see precipitate, it can be because of the the ions Fe³⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺ or Mn²⁺.

5) We observe the color of this precipitate. If it is brown is Fe(OH)₃, if it is green is Ni(OH)₂, if it is pink is Co(OH)₂, and if it is white is Mn(OH)₂.

Se toma la muestra problema o alícuota y se añade HCl 2N. Con este reactivo precipitan los cationes del Grupo I ( Plata (I), Plomo (II) y Mercurio (I)): AgCl, PbCl2 y Hg2Cl2. Sobre el mismo embudo se añade agua de ebullición, quedando en el papel de filtro el AgCl y el Hg2Cl2; el Pb2+ puede identificar añadiendo KI, que origina un precipitado de PbI2 que se disuelve en caliente, que sirve para identificarlo mediante la llamada lluvia de oro.1

Sobre el mismo papel de filtro se añade NH3 2N. En el papel de filtro si existe Hg22+ y se forma una mancha blanca, gris o negro, que es una mezcla de HgClNH2 y Hg0. En la disolución se forman Ag(NH3)2+, que se puede identificar con KI dando un precipitado de AgI amarillo claro.

Neurons have special proteins in their cell membranes that allow them to generate electric current. Are these proteins most like

V125BC [204]

Answer:

Sodium-Potassium pumps (proteins that help neurons generate electricity) are produced by ribosomes on the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).

Explanation:

Sodium-Potassium Pump (NA+/K+):

The Na+/K+ Pump is a transmembrane channel protein, responsible for maintaining the concentration gradient of sodium and potassium ions in the intra and extracellular environment. This is achieve by pumping 3 Na+ outside and 2 K+ inside the cell at the cost of one ATP. In neurons, these channels help in generating an action potential across the cell membrane that gives rise to a nerve impulse.

Production of Transmembrane proteins:

All membranes and their proteins are produced by the ribosomes on the rough ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum contains the enzymes required for lipid synthesis; and as cell membranes are made of lipids, the ER is the most suitable location for synthesis. Membrane proteins, particularly, transmembrane proteins like the Na+/K+ pump possess hydrophobic surfaces that don't dissolve in the cytoplasm but readily attach to the ER surface from where they can be transported wherever required.
