Answer:

171 cubic kilometers

Explanation:

IN order to solve this we just have to make a simple rule of three, where the 2,850,000 cubic kilometers will be the 100% and we want to calculate how many cubic kilometers will ,006% be:

\frac{2,850,000}{100}= \frac{x}{,006}\\ x=\frac{2,850,000*,006}{100}\\ x= 171

So every year the Greenland Ice Sheet looses 171 cubic kilometers of ice.

 171 km³ per year. 
0.006% = 0.006/ 100 = 0.00006 ;

0.00006 * 2,850,000 km³ = 171 km³  per year.

What are the two main types of seismic waves that are created during an earthquake (15 points)
Alik [6]

Answer:

- body waves

- surface waves

Explanation:

The earthquakes produce two major types of seismic waves, body waves and surface waves. The body waves are the seismic waves that travel through the layers of the Earth. The surface waves are the waves that only travel on the surface of the Earth and the surface of the water bodies. The earthquakes are a natural phenomenon that occurs most at places where there is more intense geologic activity. Because the crust is cracking and breaking deep inside, lot of adjustments occur, and through the adjustments, lot of energy is released, which is manifested through these two types of waves.
