<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

S waves travel through solids or very dense, glassy liquids. P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u>P-waves and S-waves are body waves that propagate through the planet.</u> P-waves are the fastest waves created by an earthquake. They travel through the Earth’s interior and can pass through both solid and molten rock.
  • <u>P-waves</u> are compression waves that apply a force in the direction of propagation.
  • <u>S waves</u> are seismic body waves that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving. S waves propagate more slowly through the earth as compared to compressional waves and arrive second.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>

What are endorphins and how do these chemicals alter the communication of pain in the body?
Solnce55 [7]

Endorphins are brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters which are released when the body feels a certain amount of stress and pain. Endorphins alter the communication of pain in the body by interacting with the opiate receptors and blocking the synapse so that signals cannot be sent to the brain in order to reduce an individual perception of pain.

olganol [36]

Answer:

Through the study of meteorites, their chemical composition of silicates—material made of silicon and oxygen. Others contain metal—nickel and iron. Knowing what the meteorite was composed of lets you know where it came from. Chondrites are composed of hardened lava - this is occurred at the beginning of the solar system (4.5 mya). Carbonaceous chondrites contain carbon and water which formed away from the sun.
