<h2>Answer: D. Rayleigh wave
</h2>
Rayleigh waves are a type of surface acoustic wave that causes particles on the surface of solids to travel along an elliptical path in the vertical plane that contains the direction of wave propagation.
These waves include longitudinal (P wave) and transverse (S wave) movements whose amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance from the surface increases.
This means Rayleigh waves are generated by the interference between the P and S waves on the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
Explanation:
San Andreas Transform Plate Boundary
The transform plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Plates in western California formed fairly recently. About 200 million years ago, a large tectonic plate (called the Farallon Plate) started to subduct beneath the western edge of North America.
Answer: The Sahara
Explanation: The Sahara is the largest hot desert in the world, and the third largest desert behind Antarctica and the Arctic, which are both cold deserts.
Answer:
1. highest
Explanation:
Ocean bottom pressure is the sum of ocean and the mass of atmosphere above sea level. The variation in the ocean bottom pressure is the result of the combined pressure of ocean atmosphere and the weight of sea water. The sensor will record the most pressure when waves crest are at highest point.
