Suggest how a dimetrodon would have to behave in order to use its sail to warm its body
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Dimetrodon (/daɪˈmiːtrədɒn/ (About this soundlisten)[1] or /daɪˈmɛtrədɒn/,[2] meaning "two measures of teeth") is an extinct genus of non-mammalian synapsid that lived during the Cisuralian (Early Permian), around 295–272 million years ago (Ma).[3][4][5] It is a member of the family Sphenacodontidae. The most prominent feature of Dimetrodon is the large neural spine sail on its back formed by elongated spines extending from the vertebrae. It walked on four legs and had a tall, curved skull with large teeth of different sizes set along the jaws. Most fossils have been found in southwestern United States, the majority coming from a geological deposit called the Red Beds of Texas and Oklahoma. More recently, fossils have been found in Germany. Over a dozen species have been named since the genus was first erected in 1878.

Explanation:

Dimetrodon is often mistaken for a dinosaur or as a contemporary of dinosaurs in popular culture, but it became extinct some 40 million years before the first appearance of dinosaurs. Reptile-like in appearance and physiology, Dimetrodon is nevertheless more closely related to mammals than to modern reptiles, though it is not a direct ancestor of mammals.[4] Dimetrodon is assigned to the "non-mammalian synapsids", a group traditionally called "mammal-like reptiles".[4] This groups Dimetrodon together with mammals in a clade (evolutionary group) called Synapsida, while placing dinosaurs, reptiles and birds in a separate clade, Sauropsida. Single openings in the skull behind each eye, known as temporal fenestrae, and other skull features distinguish Dimetrodon and mammals from most of the earliest sauropsids.

Which statement describes P wave?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

They travel through liquids.

Explanation:

P waves are a type of seismic waves and they travel through solid, liquid and gas. They are called P waves because they are faster than the S waves and other types of seismic waves.

The p waves being the fastest is why it was named primary (p waves) while the S waves are slower and are referred to as secondary (s waves). These waves don’t start as surface waves but later results in it.
