Non-renewable resource

Explanation:

The cheetahs can be considered a non-renewable resource. Non-renewable implies that a resource cannot be replenished at it current rate of depletion.

How much has the cheetah's population declined:

         percentage declination = \frac{Population in 1990}{Population today} x 100

Population in 1990 = 100,000

Population today = 12,000

  Percentage declination = \frac{100000}{12000} x 100 = 83.3%

We can see that the cheetah has suffered a whooping 83.3% decline in their population.

A renewable resource is one that can be replenished as it is being used such as water, air, e.t.c.

Why do scientists need to study seismic waves to analyze the interior of the earth and the layers of the earth?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Answer 1:

Seismic waves, the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake can tell us a lot about the internal structure of the Earth because these waves travel at different speeds in different materials. There are two types of waves that travel through the Earth: p-waves and s-waves.

P- waves are faster and they can travel through both solids and liquids. S-waves are slower and cannot travel through liquids. For both kinds of waves, the speed at which the wave travels also depends on the properties of the material through which it is traveling.

Scientists are able to learn about Earth’s internal structure by measuring the arrival of seismic waves at stations around the world. For example, we know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it; when an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. Similarly, we know that the earth has a solid inner core because some p-waves are reflected off the boundary between the inner core and the outer core. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to travel along many different paths through the earth, we can figure out the velocity structure of the earth. Abrupt changes in velocity with depth correspond to boundaries between different layers of the Earth composed of different materials.
