•Humans (biosphere) built a dam out of rock materials (lithosphere). Water in the lake (hydrosphere) seeps into the cliff walls behind the dam, becoming groundwater (lithosphere), or evaporating into the air (atmosphere).
A tectonic hazard would be something that isn't expected but only lasts so long.
Example: an earthquake or tsunami
The best example is an earthquake
Immediate responses would be to take shelter under a sturdy building or get to high grounds where nothing can fall on you.
The number of deaths could be reduced by having regular safety checks of buildings and if you know you are near tectonic plate shifting then the building should be built with study material.
I guess the answer is NO-3.
Answer:
C. P waves move matter back and forth, in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave, while S waves move matter up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Explanation:
P and S - waves are both called seismic waves. They are produced during deformation within the earth.
Usually, P or Primary waves have the fastest velocity and arrives at the seismic station first. Secondary, Shear or S-waves follows P-waves.
- P-waves are body waves that propagates within a body. They cause movement internally.
- Secondary waves are surface waves. They move on the surface of earth.
- One way to also distinguish between these two seismic waves is that, P-waves are longitudinal waves that travels parallel or longitudinally to the source.
- Secondary waves moves in an up and down motion pattern. They propagate transversely to their source.
