5 0

Answer:

A.They alternately compress and pull apart the particles in matter.

B. They are the first waves detected after an earthquake.

Explanation:

P-waves, also known as a compressional wave is the wave that shakes the ground in the same and opposite direction of the wave i.e. back and forthe motion of the ground. They compress and pull apart the material alternatively. The disturbances due to these waves have small magnitude thus making them non destructive. These waves travel at faster speed as compared to other seismic waves and thus help in detecting the earthquake. These wave can travel through liquid, solid and gases.

What pollutant forms when automobile emissions react with oxygen gas and ultraviolet rays?
creativ13 [48]

Ozone is a molecule that consists of three oxygen atoms. When high-energy ultraviolet rays strike ordinary oxygen molecules (O2), they split the molecule into two single oxygen atoms, known as atomic oxygen. A freed oxygen atom then combines with another oxygen molecule to form a molecule of ozone.  Hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides come from great variety of industrial and combustion processes. Motor vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions, gasoline vapors, and chemical solvents are some of the major sources of NOx and VOC that acts as a precursor of ozone. In urban areas, the number of automobiles are more and therefore, more production of such harmful gases. These gases in presence of sunlight leads to the formation of bad ozone.
