A group of students are studying the waves generated by an earthquake. They observe that the waves on the seismograph point to a

location far away from the original earthquake. Which of these most likely causes the waves to point to a far off location?
bending of the waves at the crust
bending of the waves at the outer core
reflection of the waves at the Earth's core
reflection of the waves at the Earth's mantle

Answer: Option (B)

Explanation: The seismic waves namely P and S-waves travels through the interior of the earth, and P-waves propagates faster than S-waves. Both P and S waves undergoes reflection and refraction method.

When P-wave propagates through the mantle, due to its high velocity, it gets bend outward. This waves then reaches the core-mantle boundary, where the P-waves gets refracted inward through the outer core because of the increasing density. P waves can travel both in solid as well as liquid.

It is same in case of S-waves also, but it is comparatively slower than the P-wave, and this wave decreases with the increasing density and gets completely absorbed as they reach the outer core. S waves can travel only in solids.

This seismic waves when recorded on the seismograph during an earthquake, it depicts the changes that happens on the core-mantle boundary. So this data suggests that the waves undergoes bending at the outer core.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

The tropopause is _____.
umka2103 [35]

Going upward from the surface, it is the point where air ceases to cool with height, and becomes almost completely dry. More formally, the tropopause is the region of the atmosphere where the environmental lapse rate changes from positive, as it behaves in the troposphere, to the stratospheric negative one. Following is the exact definition used by the World Meteorological Organization:

The boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere, where an abrupt change in lapse rate usually occurs. It is defined as the lowest level at which the lapse rate decreases to 2 °C/km or less, provided that the average lapse rate between this level and all higher levels within 2 km does not exceed 2 °C/km.<span>[1] for example</span>

How does loseing laforin give you epilepsy ( please use lots of detail in the answer)
Deffense [45]
<span>Lafora disease is the most severe teenage-onset progressive epilepsy, a unique form of glycogenosis with perikaryal accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen, and a neurodegenerative disorder exhibiting an unusual generalized organellar disintegration. The disease is caused by mutations of the EPM2A gene, which encodes two isoforms of the laforin protein tyrosine phosphatase, having alternate carboxyl termini, one localized in the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum) and the other in the nucleus. To date, all documented disease mutations, including the knockout mouse model deletion, have been in the segment of the protein common to both isoforms. It is therefore not known whether dysfunction of the cytoplasmic, nuclear, or both isoforms leads to the disease. In the present work, we identify six novel mutations, one of which, c.950insT (Q319fs), is the first mutation specific to the cytoplasmic laforin isoform, implicating this isoform in disease pathogenesis. To confirm this mutation's deleterious effect on laforin, we studied the resultant protein's subcellular localization and function and show a drastic reduction in its phosphatase activity, despite maintenance of its location at the endoplasmic reticulum.
