Seismic waves are sent through the earth during earthquakes, and those
energy waves are what cause the ground to shake as they travel through
it.Seismic waves travel at different speeds when they pass through
different types of material, so by studying seismograms, scientists can
learn a lot about Earth's internal structure.Body waves are seismic
waves that travel through Earth's interior, or its 'body.' Surface waves
are seismic waves that travel through Earth's surface.Surface waves are
important, but they don't provide much information about what happens
below the surface. For this, we need to study body waves so that we can
see what Earth's 'body' is like.
There are two types of body waves, called P waves and S waves. P
stands for primary waves because these waves travel the fastest and are
detected first. S stands for secondary waves because these are slower
than P waves, arriving second on the seismogram.
Answer:
a. True.
b. False.
c. True.
d. True.
Explanation:
A landform refers to a geomorphic or natural feature of the Earth's surface, which typically makes its terrain. Some examples of landforms on planet earth are mountain, plains, volcanoes, valley, hills and plateau.
Basically, the tectonic plates such as the oceanic and continental lithosphere interact in three (3) ways and these are; divergent, transform and convergent boundaries.
a. Plates shift the continents around as they move, so Earth's surface is constantly changing.
b. False: the contacts between plates are called passive margins. A passive margin is a region where continents have rifted apart and are then separated by a body of water such as an ocean.
c. True: plates may consist of both ocean floor and continental crust, but never just oceanic or continental crust.
d. True: there are 120 major tectonic plates.
