If three seismic stations have the following P–S intervals: DUG = 57 sec, WUAZ = 73 sec, ISCO = 14 sec, what is the order from c
iragen [17]

Answer:

ISCO-DUG-WUAZ

Explanation:

Seismic waves of an earthquakes is recorded first in the station closest to the earthquake. The P wave is the faster moving wave and then the S wave. The faster the time it takes the P and S waves to register in the seismographer the closer the station to the site of the earthquake. Bearing this in mind, the wave was first registered in ISCO making it closest to the earthquake site, followed by DUG and then WAUZ.

ISCO (14sec)-DUG (57sec)-WUAZ (73sec)

Can someone help me! What do demographers and urban planners do? Describe how demographers and urban planners might work togethe
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Demographers study the growth and decline of human populations, and urban planners plan for the futures of cities (e.g. electricity, water, and transportation needs). Demographers and urban planners would benefit from working together to help solve difficult problems in society and to help plan for the future. A demographer would be very helpful to urban planners as they plan for the future of a city. For example, an urban planner would want to have an idea of the population growth in the city, or of the average growth rate in other cities, when planning for the city's future transportation, water, and electricity needs. Demographers and urban planners are important to each other! They help each other plan for the future of society
