Explain how scientists use seismic data to learn about the geologic activity and happenings in the earth's interior

Geography
1 answer:
Mekhanik [1.2K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

In physics, we know that waves usually change direction when are refracted or when they penetrate layers with different densities.

Therefore, when a seismic wave penetrates penetrates the boundary of the earth's interior, part of it will be sent back and part will be transmitted into the medium as refraction occurs. When we record the reflected and refracted ray, it enables the calculation of the position of major boundaries in the Earth's interior. This also helps in providing information about the solid & liquid character as well physical properties of the various layers in the medium.

3. In which case did the U.S. Supreme Court decide that the press was protected from libel suits unless the offended party could
balandron [24]

Answer:

B New York Times v. Sullivan.

Explanation:

The correct answer is

B New York Times v. Sullivan.

In this case, in 1960, the NY times publish an advertisement and defense of Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. The advertisement had some small facts stated wrongly, and so a police commissioner from Montgomery, Alabama, named Sullivan sued the NY Times for defamation. However, he could not prove that there was any malice in the ad. The US Supreme Court defended the NY Times, and defended the free reporting of the civil rights movement. So, it protected the press from libel suits unless the offended party could prove malice by the media.

1) of the 4 ways to transfer heat, conduction, radiation, convection and advection, which two are the primary forms of heat tran
padilas [110]

Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

  • Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.
  • Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
  • Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
  • Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
