Answer:

Surface waves have a longer duration and higher amplitude than body waves.

Explanation:

The stark difference between an earthquake body and surface waves is such that they have longer duration and a higher amplitude compared to body waves.

There are two categories of seismic waves that usually accompanies an earthquake:

  • body waves are faster and perpetuate in the subsurface. They reach the seismic station first and are discovered faster.
  • surface waves arrives later and they cause the damage produced by most earthquake waves. They perpetuate on the surface.
  • surface waves are the love and Rayleigh waves
  • body waves are the primary and secondary waves.

What statement is too narrow in the passage?
OLga [1]

Answer:

Asteroid 1997 XF11 is one mile wide.

Explanation:

The above statement is the statement that is too narrow in the passage. A "too narrow" statement is one that  gives a detail of what the main passage is talking about. Also, it helps the reader to visualize a part of what the passage is talking about. Yet it does not still provide enough information for one to grasp the whole passage. Also, such statement gives a specific idea or concept from the story or passage.

The above statement is "too narrow" because it actually states a single part of the overall passage and also gives a very specific idea from the passage.
