Discuss the differences between Seismic Reflection and Seismic Refraction

Physics
1 answer:
Maru [420]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Seismic refraction is the bending of the seismic waves as they pass geological layers of the earth due to different densities. This is especially true for Primary waves because they can pass through all the layers of the earth both liquid and solid.

Seismic reflectivity is the bouncing back of seismic waves at a boundary of geological layers due to different densities or subsurface formation. This is especially true for secondary waves that are unable to pass through liquid layers of the earth like the outer core and mantle. When they reach the boundary of these layers they bounce back towards the earth's surface.

These properties of P and S waves are used to ‘auscultate’ the epicenter of an earthquake by triangulation.

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of  snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) =  (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr
