<h2>Answer: D. Rayleigh wave
</h2>
Rayleigh waves are a type of surface acoustic wave that causes particles on the surface of solids to travel along an elliptical path in the vertical plane that contains the direction of wave propagation.
These waves include longitudinal (P wave) and transverse (S wave) movements whose amplitude decreases exponentially as the distance from the surface increases.
This means Rayleigh waves are generated by the interference between the P and S waves on the surface of the Earth.
Galileo's moon studies.
Answer: Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Galileo studied about the moon. At that time, the scientists thought that the surface of the moon is very smooth but it was Galileo who discovered that the surface of the moon was not smooth.
He discovered that the moon had small pits which made it's surface rough. The moon has mountains and other features also just like the features of the planet Earth, this was also discovered by Galileo. Along with this he made startling discoveries about Jupiter also.
The answer is: [B]: The Coriolis effect works at right angles to the direct of airflow.
_________________
Answer choice "A" is correct. The Coriolis effect is STRONGEST at the poles—and weakest at the equators.
_________________________________
Answer choice "C" is incorrect. The Coriolis effect has an effect on the DIRECTION of wind—and such, DIRECTLY affects wind direction.
___________________________________
Answer choice "D" is incorrect. A stronger wind will more GREATLY impacted by the Coriolis effect than a weaker wind (on a net global scale, that is).
