Answer:

Earthquakes occur at transform plate boundaries.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates have different types of interactions, which is because of their different directions of movement that put them in different positions relative to each other. There are three basic types of plate boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform, all of which can occur on land or in the ocean waters.

The transform plate boundaries are plate boundaries that are found where tectonic plates are sliding past each other. By doing so, the area near the boundary is constantly under immense pressure, which causes stress and breaking of the crust. Because of the crust's cracking, there are a lot of adjustments happening in it, meaning that a lot of earthquakes occur. The earthquakes are often not very strong, but every now and then there is an earthquake that has a catastrophic effect.

Which of the following accurately describe some aspect of gravitational waves?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

- the first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015

- gravitational waves are predicted to travel through space at the speed of light

-  the existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity

Explanation:

The gravitational waves are waves that are produced by the objects, and depending on the mass of the object they can be stronger or weaker in their influence.

These waves have been in the minds of the scientists for more than a century now, with Einstein predicting them in his theory of relativity. The only problem with these waves was that there was no proof of them. The proof finally came in 2015 when these waves were detected from the first time, with two black holes to be thanked for that as they were the source of them.

These waves are predicted to be able to travel with the speed of light through space when they have small amplitudes.
