Answer:

S waves travel through solids or very dense, glassy liquids. P waves travel through solids, liquids, and gasses.

Explanation:

S-waves and P-waves are both body waves that moves through a substance. They are different from surface waves that moves on the surface. These surface waves are love and Rayleigh waves.

The body P-waves and S-waves are often differentiated by the materials they propagate through. P-waves are primary waves and they pass through any earth materials. They can be propagated through solids, liquids and gases. This is because they are longitudinal waves.

S-waves are shear waves and they cannot pass through liquids and gases. These materials do no shear.

What’s the primary reason that mammals an avian dinosaurs thrived in the paleogene period

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

B. Their predators have been killed by the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction

Explanation:

The mammals and the avian dinosaurs were small creatures, living in the shadows of the dinosaurs which dominated the world, but also were stopping the further increase in size and development of these animals. At the end of the Cretaceous though, an asteroid struck the Earth. The impact was so hard and devastating that it managed to destroy the dinosaurs and wipe them out of the face of the Earth, with the only dinosaurs remaining being the small avian species. Since lots of niches opened up and where free for taking in the ecosystem, the mammals and the avian dinosaurs quickly started to evolve, diversify, and become much larger. The mammals seem to won the race for dominance as they have become the most dominant species on the planet.

Define the following:<br> deflation hollows<br> crevasses<br> morain

krok68 [10]

Dune deflation hollows are where wind has removed sand down to a level where a layer of particles too heavy for the wind to move (an armoured surface) stabilises the sand and prevents the surface being lowered further.
A crevasse is a deep, wedge-shaped opening in a moving mass of ice called a glacier. Crevasses usually form in the top 50 meters (160 feet) of a glacier, where the ice is brittle.
a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
