3. What conclusion would you draw if a seismogram from a particular seismic station showed only P waves?

5 0

3. The Earthquake occured on the other side of the Earth

Explanation:

One of the main difference between P-waves and S-waves is that P-waves can travel through solids and liquids, while S-waves can only travel through solids. They are not able to travel through liquids.

So, if a seismic station showed only P waves, it means that there was some area in liquid state between the seismic station and the hypocenter of the earthquake. Inside the Earth, the outer part of the core is made of liquid, so this means that there outer core was along the line connecting the seismic station and the hypocenter and "blocked" the S-waves: therefore, the earthquake occurs on the other side of the Earth.


4. In order to determine with precision the location of the epicenter

Explanation:

One seismic station is only able to determine the distance of the epicenter - so, by using one seismic station only, we are only able to tell that the epicenter is located on a point along a circle, centered around the seismic station.

If we use two seismic station located at different points, we can draw two circles of possible locations for the epicenter, one for each seismic station. The intersection between the two circles will give us the exact location of the epicenter. However, two circles have two intersections: therefore, there is still an ambiguity concerning the exact location of the epicenter.

If we use three stations, therefore, we can draw three circles, and they have one intersection only: this intersection will give us the exact location of the epicenter.

Which is a correct statement of what occurs at a turbine during electricity production?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The turbine is rotated and rotates the generator to produce electricity.

Explanation:

Within a turbine enters the superheated steam which is at high pressure and high temperature, this steam is previously formed in the boiler when the steam enters the turbine hits each one of the blades of the turbine making it rotate at a given speed, the turbine shaft is coupled to the shaft of an electric generator and thus generates electricity.

It is also important to say that when the steam comes out of the turbine comes out at low pressure, this way the internal operating process is carried out within the turbine.

Explain how the information from the stimuli is communicated to the brain.
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Answer:Neurons communicate through an electrochemical process. Sensory receptors interact with stimuli such as light, sound, temperature, and pain which is transformed into a code that is carried to the brain by a chain of neurons. Then systems of neurons in the brain interpret this information.

What is Elasticity? (best answer will get marked brainliest)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

In economics, elasticity is the measurement of the percentage change of one economic variable in response to a change in another.

An elastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value greater than 1) is one which responds more than proportionally to changes in other variables. In contrast, an inelastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value less than 1) is one which changes less than proportionally in response to changes in other variables. A variable can have different values of its elasticity at different starting points: for example, the quantity of a good supplied by producers might be elastic at low prices but inelastic at higher prices, so that a rise from an initially low price might bring on a more-than-proportionate increase in quantity supplied while a rise from an initially high price might bring on a less-than-proportionate rise in quantity supplied.

Elasticity can be quantified as the ratio of the percentage change in one variable to the percentage change in another variable, when the latter variable has a causal influence on the former. A more precise definition is given in terms of differential calculus. It is a tool for measuring the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another, causative variable. Elasticity has the advantage of being a unitless ratio, independent of the type of quantities being varied. Frequently used elasticities include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, income elasticity of demand, elasticity of substitution between factors of production and elasticity of intertemporal substitution.

Elasticity is one of the most important concepts in neoclassical economic theory. It is useful in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, and distribution of wealth and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice. Elasticity is also crucially important in any discussion of welfare distribution, in particular consumer surplus, producer surplus, or government surplus.

In empirical work an elasticity is the estimated coefficient in a linear regression equation where both the dependent variable and the independent variable are in natural logs. Elasticity is a popular tool among empiricists because it is independent of units and thus simplifies data analysis.

A major study of the price elasticity of supply and the price elasticity of demand for US products was undertaken by Joshua Levy and Trevor Pollock in the late 1960s..
