If an earthquake occurs in Australia, which waves will a seismic station in Japan record?

Geography
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. P and S waves

Explanation:

P waves are compression waves while S waves are shear waves. P-waves are usually faster than S-waves (about 60% faster). P and S waves are called body waves because they move through the interior of the earth.

When an earthquake occurs, P and S waves are produced. A seismic recording station an be used to record the arrival of these two waves. Since the P wave is faster than the S wave, hence the P wave would first arrive at the station. The earthquake epicenter can be determined by the difference in time of arrival between the P and S wave.

Select the reasons why most professional telescopes are reflectors rather than refractors.
Julli [10]

Answer:

d). It is easier to make a large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

f). A reflector can collect more light than a refractor.

Explanation:

A telescope is a device that is used to observe distant objects by the use of lenses and mirrors. It is also used to observe different distant objects by their reflection, absorption, emission or the reflection of the electromagnetic radiations.

Most of the professional telescopes are reflectors because :

1. The reflected telescope is able to receive more of the light when it reflects all the light falling on surface. And it is easier for making a large telescope rather then making large lenses for the refracting telescope. So it is easier to make large reflecting telescope than a large refracting telescope.

2. A reflected telescope receives all the wavelength of the light and it reflects all the light falling on the surfaces where it is refracted telescope that contains lenses cannot absorbs all the light and causes the chromatic aberration.

Answer:

A. Distinction of the various rings of saturn.

Explanation:

The important discoveries of Hubble space telescope were on discovering the age of the universe, finding the depths and expanse of the universe, along with researching on the black holes and finding visible wavelength images. Finding planets in the inner solar system like Pluto, and an outer solar system like Exoplanets.

The asteroids between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter were once a planet. O True False
laiz [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

In the vast majority of cases, the asteroid's orbit is between those of Mars and Jupiter, more precisely between 2 and 3.5 astronomical units, in what was called the asteroid belt.

The size of these objects varies between several hundred kilometers, for some rare specimens such as Ceres, and a value of the order of 10 meters (under this maximum limit we will talk about meteoroid). They are irregularly shaped bodies made up of rocks and metals like telluric planets.

The first hypothesis regarding the origin of the asteroids was the explosion of a planet located between Mars and Jupiter, of which these small bodies would be the residue. This idea has, however, been abandoned, because the total mass of the asteroids would allow to reconstruct only a very small planet, with a diameter just half that of the Moon.

<u> Today planetologists think that asteroids are bodies that failed to agglomerate to form a planet because of Jupiter's influence. </u>

An indication in favor of this theory is the presence of holes in the distribution of the asteroids belt orbits. Indeed, the orbits where the period of revolution would be equal to a simple fraction of that of Jupiter, for example, half or third, are empty.

Such a phenomenon can only occur if there is regular accumulation of an identical force over a very long period, therefore, if the period of the object and that of Jupiter are in a simple relationship, for example, half. It is this phenomenon, called resonance, that explains the holes in the current distribution of asteroid orbits.

It is the phenomenon of <u>resonance probably responsible for the absence of a fifth telluric planet between Mars and Jupiter</u>. Indeed, planets were formed 4.6 billion years ago by the agglomeration of dust in small bodies called planetesimals, which in turn regrouped to form massive bodies.
