<u>Answer:</u>

Out of the given options, the mineral phase affects the speed of a seismic wave.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The speed of a seismic wave is governed by three interrelated factors, viz. the composition of the rock, pressure, and temperature.
  • Seismic waves travel at different speeds in different mediums.
  • This property of the seismic waves tends it to change the speed where the concentration of minerals in the rocks varies.
  • Other than that, the increasing temperature beneath the Earth's surface decreases the speed of the seismic waves, and the speed increases with increasing pressure as the waves go penetrating deep down into the Earth's interiors.

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

<u>Inversion is found in upper layer sf troposphere.</u>

Explanation:

  • When there is a decrease temperature t every 3.5 degrees for every 100 feet. As when this normal cycle is present the air said to be unstable and constantly flows between the warm and cold areas.
  • During inversion temperature decrease with the increasing altitudes. temperature inversion can occur in areas of coastal origins due to the upwelling of cold waters.
  • Topography plays a role as cold and cool air flows from the mountain peaks down into valleys. This cold air then is pushed back due to the warm and lighter air mass and hence creating an invention.
  • Inversions can also form in areas with significant snow cover as the ground is cold white color reflects most of the sunlight.

Novosadov [1.4K]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Which would be an adaptation for living in the tundra?

funnel shaped leaves to help water runoff

deep roots to go into the permafrost

hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

large ears to release heat

Answer: hibernation to lower metabolism in the winter

Explanation:

Hibernation is something many animals do to survive in the tundra. They hid in dens for several months during the winter. Their metabolisms get to a dormant state in which their bodies survive thanks to stores of fat gained during the summer. The Grizzly bear is an example of a tundra animal that hibernates during the winter.
