Geography

Answer:

Surface waves and Body waves are both seismic waves. Seismic waves are waves of energy that are caused by earthquakes. Body waves travel inside the Earth, or through the Earth, in all directions. Surface waves travel along the surface of the Earth. The two types of body waves are primary (P) and secondary (S) waves. When we measure the time it takes for a wave to come to form an epicenter to a measuring station we can conclude what materials the wave passes through because waves slow down or get absorbed when passing through matter.

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Angular unconformity

Explanation:

An angular unconformity is the contact that separates a younger, gently dipping rock unit from older underlying rocks that are tilted or deformed layered rock. The contact is more obvious than a disconformity because the rock units are not parallel and at first appear cross‐cutting. Angular unconformities generally represent a longer time hiatus than do disconformities because the underlying rock had usually been metamorphosed, uplifted, and eroded before the upper rock unit was deposited

Vertical distance between (-2, -3) and (-2, -12)
GarryVolchara [31]
What I can tell is that they both share the same x coordinate. To help you understand, the horizontal line is from left to right, think of "The sun setting in the horizon.", it is often in the distance as a "left to right" line. So, I hope that helps, this leaves the vertical line as up or down.

With that out of the way, the x-axis lies on the horizontal line, whereas the y-axis lies on the vertical line.

Point coordinates are typically listed as (x, y), so... with that said, to find the distance we'll have to count downwards. As we know, negative x is to the left, negative y is further down, so... -3 to -12 is 9 points away.

Simple method: -3 - 9 = -12, or... -12 - -3 = -12 + 3 = -9.
In other words you get the basic idea, you can also just count, but whatever.

I hope that helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^
