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.

Describe how the process of diffusion results in changes to the cultural landscape?
Sedaia [141]
Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural trends across locations. Beliefs, practices, and ideas get shared from person to person, and sometimes even around the world through this diffusion, as happens with viral videos. Many cultural practices are spread by a type of cultural diffusion called expansion diffusion.

Which describes the boundary where earthquake activity occurs along rift valleys?
Andreyy89

Answer:

divergent boundary on land

Explanation:

Divergent boundary involves the crustal spreading of two tectonic plates. Divergent boundary is the separation or rifting apart of two plates. Divergent boundary can occur between oceanic plates or continental plates.

Divergent boundary between oceanic plates , the convection currents lift the lithosphere producing a mid oceanic ridge. Extensional forces spreads the lithospheric plate apart causing an in flow of magma from the interior of the earth. The magmatic materials travels through fissure and oceanic ridges to the surface of the ocean floor. The volcanic material/magma later solidifies to form new oceanic crust with the youngest rock closest to the mid oceanic ridge.

Divergent boundary between continental plates , the convection current usually pull the continental plates upward due to the thickness of the continental plates. The continental plates are pulled thin by the extensional forces resulting to fracture. The fracture result into a rift shaped structure. Rift valleys are formed which is a lowland region. The two parts of the continents(lands) that are separated are likely to develop fault on both sides of the rifts. The fractured area along the rift valley is a region prone to earthquakes.

Rift valley are structures found in divergent boundary between continents(land) and are region of earthquakes activities because of movements and fracturing occurrence. The East African rift is an example of this kind of plates boundary.
