Answer:

The mantle would receive no seismic waves.

Explanation:

Seismic waves are the waves of energy caused by the sudden breaking of rock within the earth or an explosion. They are the energy that travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs.

There are several different kinds of seismic waves, and they all move in different ways, but the two main types are body waves and surface waves. Body waves can travel through the earth's inner layers, but surface waves can only move along the surface of the planet like ripples on water.

Therefore in this instance, the waves can be classified as surface waves

The frigid temperatures have allowed a lake to become ready for people to ice fish on it. What process has the lake undergone? ​
Burka [1]

Answer:

When the entire lake reaches 40 F, the surface water cools further, dropping below 40 F. Because this water is now less dense than the surrounding water, it will stay on the top and continue to cool. Once the surface water falls to 32 F, it freezes. The freezing then spreads downward into the lake and the ice thickens

qual é a diferença entre a pecuária transumante e a pecuária nômade? o que impulsiona cada uma delas?
ad-work [718]

The transhumance and the nomadic ranching may seem very similar, but they are not and they have one very big important difference between them. The transhumance ranching is the type of ranching where the ranchers are moving their livestock seasonally. That usually happens twice a year. The movement occurs when the season change. It is driven by the climate, and it can be when there's wet and dry season, or warm and cold season, and the movement can be vertical, from the mountains toward the lowlands and vice versa, or horizontal, toward places with more suitable weather conditions at that period. The The nomadic ranching, on the other side, is a type of ranching where the livestock is moved constantly, almost on a daily or weekly basis. This type of ranching is driven by the amount of food sources at a particular place. The nomads keep their livestock at a particular spot depending on how much food there is available, which usually is in low amount, so they are in constant movement for new grazing lands.

Question 13(Multiple Choice Worth 3 points) Which of the following does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest
svetoff [14.1K]

Ocean ridge does not accompany volcanic activity in the Pacific Northwest.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this process the denser oceanic plate force the thinner continental plate to sink into the mantle. This region is referred as subduction zone, where it results in intense volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

The denser Pacific plate sinks because of the chunk pull impact and it likewise prompts the development of mountains. This sort of impact creates profound center seismic tremors.

It isn't related with the maritime edge as the mid-maritime edge shapes in a disparate plate limit.  In the Pacific Northwest , the volcanic activity  is carried out by the geological process majorly by subduction.

Absolute age examines the position of rocks in a sequence. true or false?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
No, this is statement is false!

An absolute age is not dependent on anything - it's the age in "years" not "older than" or "younger than".

The position of rocks is more inherent to the relative age of the rocks- relative to the other layers of the rocks.
