Explanation:

Question 1:

It is better to use data from three or more seismic stations to find the epicenter of an earthquake because the intersection of three or more points gives a more accurate location of the epicenter.

  • The method used in locating the position of an earthquake is simply by triangulating three or more points.
  • Since we know the time of arrival and speed of earthquake waves, we use the distance at suitable scale to draw a circle at the seismic stations.
  • The point of intersection of the circle gives the location of the epicenter of the earthquake waves.
  • Using 1 or 2 locations will not result in an accurate position determination.
  • A single circle from a seismograph station would only give us the region where earthquake must have likely occurred.
  • Two circles will narrow down the odds of determining the position.
  • Three or more circles gives perfect intersection which shows the position of the epicenter of the earthquake.

Question 2:

Properties of P-waves

  • P-waves are known as primary waves.
  • The have a velocity of about 5-8km/s
  • They are always the first wave to arrive at a seismic station.
  • They are propagated longitudinally i.e parallel to their source.
  • They can pass through any earth materials be it solid liquids or gases.
  • P-waves are body waves that moves within a body

Properties of S-waves.

  • They are also known as secondary or shear waves.
  • Their velocity is about 1-8km/s
  • They are the second to arrive at a seismic station.
  • They are propagated transversely to their source.
  • They cannot pass through liquids and gases because they cannot be sheared.
  • S-waves are body waves.

Question 3:

The conclusion that can be drawn from this is that the waves only pass through a solid material.

  • P-waves are elastic seismic waves that can pass through any materials.
  • They are always the first to arrive at a seismic station.

S-waves are secondary waves that will only pass through solid because they can shear.

Liquids and gases do not shear and will not allow s-waves to pass through them.

Since no s-waves are seen or recorded on the seismograph, we can infer that the material through which the waves cuts through is a solid alone.

Sort the items based on whether they have gravitational potential energy or chemical potential energy. liquid petroleum gasoline
poizon [28]

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of body due to its position in the gravitational field.

Whereas chemical potential energy is the energy within the chemical bonds of a substance.

For example, when we eat an apple then we get energy in our body so, it is the chemical potential energy stored in the apple.

Items sorted on the bases of gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy are as follows.

Gravitational potential energy:

  • a ball thrown up in the air.
  • a stone rolling downhill.
  • water stored in an overhead tank.

Chemical potential energy:

  • liquid petroleum gasoline used in cars.
  • apples that people eat.
  • firecrackers that people set off.

The plane that separated the body into superior and inferior portions is a sagittal plane.
dybincka [34]

Answer: False  

Explanation:

The saggital plane divides the body into two halves based on the fact that the body is segmented into left and right planes.

The plane may be away or at can lie at the center of the body and it splits the body into parts. It  may be far or close to the midline of the body. It may also split the body into two unequal parts.

The term saggital is coined by Gerard Cremona.

What can be transferred between objects?
tekilochka [14]

Heat can be transferred from one object to another since, If there is a temperature difference between two systems, heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to the lower system.

Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another, when two objects crash. One example of kinetic energy being transferred from one object to another would be a collision of pool balls, Since one ball would hit another causing it to move. Also Kinetic Energy is, “The <u>energy</u> of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Any object in motion is using kinetic energy: a person walking, a thrown baseball, a crumb falling from a table, and a charged particle in an electric field are all examples of kinetic energy at work.”

And last but not least, Thermal Energy which, is often referred to as heat. The thermal energy of matter depends on how fast the atoms or molecules are moving. The faster they are moving, the more thermal energy they possess. Therefore, the temperature of the matter would be higher. Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy. One example of Thermal energy being transferred from one object to another is, Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water. Fun fact; Thermal Energy can be transferred in three ways known as, Conduction, Convention, Radiation.

Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam
REY [17]

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))
