Answer:

1960

The first observations of free oscillations of the Earth were done during the great 1960 earthquake in Chile. Presently periods of thousands of modes are known. These data are used for determining some large scale structures of the Earth interior.

Around the mid 1900’s
Scientists actually used this technique to record when and where an Earthquake would happen because they didn’t have the advanced technology that we do nowadays.
They labeled the waves S waves and P waves to separate and determine the wave lengths.
I done this in my science Class before and it wasn’t actually that hard.

Bowen’s continuous reaction series describes the crystallization behavior of a singlemineral (with variable chemical composition
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

C. plagioclase

Explanation:

From the magma silicate crystals are formed successively when the magma temperature reaches the typical melting temperature for each type of crystal. The first crystals formed at high temperatures can then change their composition or dissolve again. In this way the crystals already formed contribute their ions, molecules and atoms to magma and combine again forming new crystals whose melting temperature is lower than that of the first crystals formed. The new crystals are said to be stable at the lowest temperatures set now. These processes of change are called reactions. As several successive reactions occur as the magma temperature decreases the ordered series of reactions is called the BOWEN series in honor of the Canadian scientist who formulated this concept. There are two types of reactions, the continuous reaction and the discontinuous reaction.

<u> By continuous reaction a crystal formed at high temperatures such as a plagioclase rich in the Ca2 +</u> component gradually varies its composition by replacing a portion of the Ca2 + ions with the Na + ions and a portion of the Al3 + ions with the Si4 + ions. To maintain its neutrality, the replacement of Ca2 + by Na + is coupled with the replacement of Al3 + by Si4 +. The series of continuous reaction starts from the plagioclase rich in Ca2 +, passes through several plagioclase of intermediate composition towards the plagioclase rich in Na +
