Explanation:

The main characteristics that will determine the wave that will arrive at a seismic station first is the velocity of the wave.

Both S and P - waves are known as body waves as they travel through a body.

P-waves are primary longitudinal waves that uses a series of rarefactions and compressions to propagate parallel to the medium. They have the fastest velocity of all seismic waves. So they arrive at the station first.

S-waves are secondary or shear waves. They are transverses waves. They are the second waves to arrive a seismic station.

St. Petersburg—Miami is a megalopolis. True or false?
Arturiano [62]
This is true.

The definition of megalopolis is that it is a large urban area, huge and densely populated. St. Petersburg is definitely one, however, Miami is relatively small compared to other megalopolises so it might not fall within that category.

Zina [86]

if the greenhouse effect does raise temperatures worldwide, it is predicted that all of the following will happen except Failing sea levels and lower rainfall in coastal zones

When gases in Earth's atmosphere capture the heat from the Sun, the process is known as the greenhouse effect. Earth becomes significantly warmer as a result of this process than it would be otherwise. One of the factors that make Earth a nice place to live in the greenhouse effect.

The exchange of incoming and outgoing radiation that heats the globe is known as the "greenhouse effect" because it functions similarly to a greenhouse. Imagine that a greenhouse can successfully grow plants all year long, even when the weather outside is too cold for some of them to do so. Maintaining a temperature on our planet that is suitable for life depends on greenhouse gases. The Earth's inherent greenhouse effect prevents the heat from simply escaping.
