Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.

In what way does an earthquake provide evidence about the layers of Earth?
melamori03 [73]

First off, let's look into how an earthquake happens:

As the plate move apart or collide given the convection current of magma, stress is built up with continuous plate movements. The pressure is then greater than the elastic strength of the rock. Rock breaks, the pressure of energy is released in the form of seismic waves. Ground vibrates, resulting in earthquake.

How it provide evidence about the layers of Earth, is that the lower the layer, the hotter it is, which then cause the convection current of magma to happen,hence affecting the lithosphere.

Hope it helps!
