Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are important, but they don't provide much information about what happens below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can see what Earth's 'body' is like.

There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.

Seismic waves from earthquakes led to the discovery of the earth's core and eventual maps of the layers of the Earth's inside and i think it primary and secondary seismic waves.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

space

Explanation:

As air gets warm, the air molecules have more energy and move around more, taking up more space. As the warm air expands, it becomes less dense than the cold air, so rises up and floats above the cold air.

Do Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto have the ability to support life? please help.
lesantik [10]

Explanation:


1) Jupiter is a planet made entirely out if gas, therefore humans can't walk on Jupiter and Jupiter lacks oxygen.

2) Uranus is a Ice giant, that means it's very cold and humans would most likely freeze to death. Also Uranus lacks oxogen..

3) Neptune is the farthest known planet from the sun, that makes Neptune too cold to be lived on.

4)Pluto is far from the sun, which would make it very cold

5) Mars would be perfect for humans, but the o-zone lacks of oxygen. Scientists say, Mars could support like if we simulate life on earth. Mars is also humid enough to support life.
