Fill in the blanks to complete the passage. Geologists can use ________ waves to learn about Earth’s interior. P waves travel fa
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Seismic waves,    Outer,    Mantle

Explanation:

P-waves vibrate longitudinally to the direction of propagation while S-waves vibrate vertically to direction of propagation. This is why S-waves are called shear waves while P-waves are compressional waves. S-waves are the main cause of destruction in an earthquake and are slower than P-waves.

The wave movement of P-waves allows them to pass through liquids and gases while S-waves cannot. Due to this differential phenomenon of these waves, the reflection of P –waves and S-waves after an earthquake – and as their vibrations are picked up by seismographs around the earth - enabled scientists to determine the properties of the  layers of the earth’’s interior.

Which Punnet square represents a cross between two parents that are heterozygous for purple flowers
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Punnett square is a square diagram which is used to predict the genotype of the offspring produced by particular cross.

Let P and p be the alleles of the gene responsible for the flower colors in a plant.

The genotype of both the parents is given as heterozygous that is, Pp.

Two types of gametes would be formed P and p.

The cross is shown in the image below.

The cross would be result in offspring with three types of genotypes PP, Pp and pp in 1:2:1.
