<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.

Companies from the United States have built many factories in Mexico near the border. Why have so many U.S. factories moved to M
azamat

The correct answer is - the labor force is cheaper.

The living standard in Mexico is much lower than the one in the United States. In accordance to it, the wages are much lower as well, so the labor force is very cheap when compared with the labor force of the United States.

In order to increase their profit, lots of companies have moved and made facilities in Mexico, so for the same work, they are paying the workers much less, and all owners would prefer that the same job is done for lesser amount of money.
