The Earth’s interior is composed of several layers: the crust, the mantle and the core. Scientists used waves and their speed to study the Earth's interior. The speed of seismic waves is affected by the properties of the material the waves pass through. The stiffness of material affects the speed of these waves. P-waves, or pressure waves, go through both liquids and solids, while S-waves, or shear waves go through solids but not liquids. The following helped scientists understand that Earth's interior is liquid: S waves cannot travel through liquids. Correct answer: D
Venus the second planet, rotates once every 243 Earth days. What's more, Venus rotates backwards from the direction of its orbit around the Sun, as do Uranus and tiny dwarf planet Pluto. Uranus even lies down on the job, rolling around with its axis of rotation pointed nearly toward the Sun.
Answer:
Mercury has the widest variation in surface temperatures between night and day of any planet in the solar system.
Explanation:
<span>It facilitate long distance travel and transport of bulky goods which are not easily transported through motor vehicles.
</span><span>It helps in the industrialization process of a country by easy transportation of coal and raw-materials at a cheaper rate.
</span>Quick movement of goods from one place to other place.
There a lot of possible answers for this question. As shown in the image, we can infer one of the following characteristics that could be used to determine if an intrusive igneous rock has a mafic composition:
<span>- color/light color/dark color
- density/low density/high density
- mineral composition
- rich in Al, Si, or rich in Fe, Mg
- presence/absence of quartz/potassium feldspar/pyroxene/olivine</span>
