Harrizon [31]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The seismic waves are bent, sped up, or slowed down, or even reflected when they pass through the earth's layers. ... Bending of the waves occurs at the layer's boundaries. So, scientists study the path and speed of these waves through the earth to decipher boundaries and the materials that make up the layers.

Explanation:

i looked that up so dont give me credit. also seismic waves are basically the waves that are produced from earthquakes. and not like waves in an ocean itskinda like gravity waves in a way

What is weather and wind
kupik [55]
<span>Wind is moving air and is caused by differences in air pressure within' the atmosphere. Weather is basically, the temperature, wether it's humid, wet, soggy, etc. Weather is mainly the deciding factor on how things will be in the area you are at. It could be raining, in let's say New York while it's hot and humid in Texas.

Points A, B, C, D, and E are collinear and in that order. Find AC if AE = x+50 and CE =x + 32
Arlecino [84]

If AE is x+50 then the whole thing must be x=50, If a portion of that, CE, is x+32, then the rest of it, AC, must be x+18, because no matter what X is, 32+18=50.

Hopes this helps mate :)
