Answer:
C. P waves move matter back and forth, in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave, while S waves move matter up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave.
Explanation:
P and S - waves are both called seismic waves. They are produced during deformation within the earth.
Usually, P or Primary waves have the fastest velocity and arrives at the seismic station first. Secondary, Shear or S-waves follows P-waves.
- P-waves are body waves that propagates within a body. They cause movement internally.
- Secondary waves are surface waves. They move on the surface of earth.
- One way to also distinguish between these two seismic waves is that, P-waves are longitudinal waves that travels parallel or longitudinally to the source.
- Secondary waves moves in an up and down motion pattern. They propagate transversely to their source.
Answer:
the United States and Canada has the same latitudes as Europe.
Explanation:
Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation called a C. rain shadow. As moist air moves landward, it will hit the mountain, which will force the air to move up. As moist air moves higher, it becomes cooler and thus releases its moisture thereby causing rainfall. Once what's left of the clouds passes over the top of the mountain, its moisture has been lost and a rain shadow is formed.
