A thermocline is a transition layer between warmer water at the surface of a body of water and the cooler deep water that lies below. It is caused by the effect of the sun on the water, in that it keeps the upper parts of the body of water warm whilst being unable to reach the lower, deeper parts.

name two types of earthquake waves and explain how scientists use them to study Earth's interior???? PLZ HELP
sergey [27]
Maybe this willl hellp"
Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are important, but they don't provide much information about what happens below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can see what Earth's 'body' is like.

There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.
