Answer:

1 A. Body waves are described as compressional or shear

2 A. S-waves and C. P-waves

3 A R-waves and C. L-waves

Explanation:

Body waves are usually compressional  or shear waves. The compressional wave, there is a push and pull in the direction of the propagating waves resulting in compression.  shear waves involves transverse motion perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

S-waves are known as shear waves and p-waves are known as primary waves or compressional waves. Both are Body waves.

L-waves are called love waves and R-waves are called Rayleigh waves. Both are types of surface waves which are far more destructive than body waves.

Give two possible reasons proposed for the massive extinction that occurred at the end of the Paleozoic Era.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Two possible reasons for the massive extinction at the end of the Paleozoic Era are an asteroid collision and massive volcanic eruptions.

Explanation:

The massive extinction that occurred at the end of the Paleozoic Era is the biggest extinction from what is known so far. The majority of the species died out, and whole families of animals and plants were wiped out of the face of the Earth. It was only small and highly adaptable organisms that managed to survive and give rise to the later life-forms.

The two possible reasons for this massive extinction are an asteroid impact and massive volcanic eruptions. An asteroid collision would have created drastic changes in a matter of minutes and hours, with effects lasting for a long period of time, thus eliminating the majority of the life. Massive volcanic eruptions, with the Siberian super-volcano being the prime candidate, may have caused enormous amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide to end up in the atmosphere, thus rapidly changing the living conditions on the planet.

When was Earth’s magnetic field strength high and when was it lower
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Over the last two centuries the dipole strength has been decreasing at a rate of about 6.3% per century. At this rate of decrease, the field would be negligible in about 1600 years. However, this strength is about average for the last 7 thousand years, and the current rate of change is not unusual.
