Earthquakes generate compressional waves (p-waves) and shear waves (s-waves). Compared to the speed of shear waves in a given earth material, the speed of compressional waves is the fastest.
Because of this the compressional waves are the first waves to arrive on a complete record of ground shaking. They are also called P waves, which derives from this fact - P is an abbreviation for primary, first wave to arrive.<span>They typically travel at speeds between ~1 and ~14 km/sec.</span>

Andru [333]

Answer:

I agree with Liam. Both are correct, however Liam's statement is correct because the magma of the volcano, after it erupts, dries up and causes new land. For example, look at Hawaii.(Mark's is also right because the volcano knocks down trees and houses, killing many organisms.)Choose whatever one you'd like. :)

When wind slows down, it deposits sediment. What feature is created by the deposition of loosely packed, mineral-rich soil?.
sineoko [7]

Answer:  In some parts of the world, windblown dust and silt blanket the land. This layer of fine, mineral-rich material is called loess. Loess is mostly created by wind, but can also be formed by glaciers. When glaciers grind rocks to a fine powder, loess can form.
