Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
3 0

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.

The transhumance and the nomadic ranching may seem very similar, but they are not and they have one very big important difference between them. The transhumance ranching is the type of ranching where the ranchers are moving their livestock seasonally. That usually happens twice a year. The movement occurs when the season change. It is driven by the climate, and it can be when there's wet and dry season, or warm and cold season, and the movement can be vertical, from the mountains toward the lowlands and vice versa, or horizontal, toward places with more suitable weather conditions at that period. The The nomadic ranching, on the other side, is a type of ranching where the livestock is moved constantly, almost on a daily or weekly basis. This type of ranching is driven by the amount of food sources at a particular place. The nomads keep their livestock at a particular spot depending on how much food there is available, which usually is in low amount, so they are in constant movement for new grazing lands.

Why does Ladakh get scanty rainfall
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The height of the mountain ranges in Ladakh region prevent the cold desert from the crossing of the clouds, that's why there is low rainfall in Ladakh.

Explanation:

The Indian cold desert Ladakh is situated at high elevation. The desert is surrounded by the heights of mountain ranges. The area has very less humidity and the desert is marked by extreme aridity. The great Karakoram ranges, Himalayan mountains and Zanskar ranges are preventing the cloud crossing from the area. This is the major cause of less rainfall in Ladakh region. The desert recieves only 2 inches annually which is very low and cause scarcity of water in the area and among locals. The desert is situated at a great height covered with supreme mountains, this cause extreme cold in the region and low rainfall.
