Answer: a. There were no federal regulations of water pollution at that time.

Explanation:  The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland was highly polluted by sewage and industrial waste from neighboring industrial firms in the 1960s. Inflammable materials were dumped on the banks and there was a film of oil on the water.  In June 1969, it caught fire from a spark on a train track and the resulted in a fire all over the river. It was not the first time this had happened but people had become more aware of the dangers of water pollution. The incident resulted in the launch of the Environmental Protection Agency. Before then, there were no federal regulations of water pollution .

Which type of seismic waves result from interference between S waves and P waves?
Leona [35]
<h2>Answer: D. Rayleigh wave </h2>

Rayleigh waves are a type of surface acoustic wave that causes particles on the surface of solids to travel along an elliptical path in the vertical plane that contains the direction of wave propagation.

These waves include longitudinal (P wave) and transverse (S wave) movements whose amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance from the surface increases.

This means Rayleigh waves are generated by the interference between the P and S waves on the surface of the Earth.
