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.

Which of the above boundaries can produce volcanoes?
kykrilka [37]
Convergent boundaries or destructive plate boundary due to subduction, is an actively deforming area where two or more tectonic plates of the lithosphere move towards one another and collide. As an effect of pressure, plate material and friction melting in the mantle, volcanoes and earthquakes are common near convergent boundaries. Subduction or continental collision is created when two plates move towards one another, depending on the nature of the involved plates. During these collisions (between two continental plates) Himalayas and large mountain ranges are formed.

the oldest rocks on earth date from about 4.2 billion years ago. what does this suggest about the interval between 4.6 billion y
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The Hadean eon represents the time interval between 4.6 billion to 4 billion years back. It is marked by the initial formation of the earth , right from the time of gathering and accumulation of interstellar dust particles and gases, and there was frequent collision between the planetesimals of relatively larger in size. The core and the crust formed and started to become stable and also gradually led to the formation and expansion of the ocean and the earth's atmosphere.

This is how the earth gradually started to form and develop and took the shape during the time interval between 4.6 billion to 4.2 billion years old, and where the oldest rocks found on earth is dated from about 4.2 billion years in the past.
