Rarefraction.
Crest- tallest spot on transverse wave.
Trough- shortest point on transverse wave.
Compression - spot on a compressional wave where the waves are closer together.
Rarefraction - spot on a compressional wave where the waves are farther apart.
Answer: The elimination of seasonal variations
Explanation:
Since the cosmic catastrophic event which occurred led to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of orbit to increase from 23.5° to 90°, the most obvious effect of this change would be the elimination of seasonal variations.
It should be noted that seasonal variation refers to the variation in a time series that's within a year which is repeated. The cause of seasonal variation can include rainfall, temperature, etc.
Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.
So in short, the answer is D.
(My answer got deleted because it didnt explain which is dumb)
A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
