<span>Earthquake waves that vibrate from side to side and up and down only through solids are known as secondary waves, or simply S-waves. As you can see in the question, they pass through solids - to be more precise, they flow through rocks and cause them to change their shape. They are quite strong, but not as strong as primary waves, as they cannot pass through liquids or gases. </span>

One of the observations that make Galilei drew this conclusion were telescopic observation of Venus, in this Galieli noticed similar to the moon Venus had different "phases" or changed its size and lighting, which was only possible if the sun was in the center of the solar system and planets revolve around it including the Earth.

Which lifting mechanism is most likely responsible for the abundance of rain in the Amazon Rainforest?
valina [46]

Answer: Convective

Explanation:

Convective Lifting is arguably the most common form of lifting and involves the heating of the Earth's surface such that surface water gets evapotranspirated from the ground and plants.

As the clouds rise, they encounter cooler temperatures and thus cool down and condense into clouds. Higher temperatures mean higher convection.

The Amazon lies on the Equator which receives the most direct sunlight so the surface gets heated a lot. Water therefore collects faster and condenses more over the Amazon which leads to more precipitation over the Rainforest.
