<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.

Why have we not found examples in the fossil record of every animal that ever lived on earth? select all that apply. select all
Reptile [31]
Many fossils remain buried
Rocks contain the history of life...


Btw the animal ones don't count i think cuz fossils can be anything like teeth, bones or anything not just animals it can be formed by leaves as well so just for extra guidance i believe the ones that state animals are probably not the options to choose due to the fact that fossils are not just living organisms they're anything that has been buried and decomposed over many years and layers of sediments cover it over many years compression may alter the shape of the fossil aswell!

Hope that extra info helps for a bit of guidance!
