Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.
Explanation:
P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.
Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.

'Universe' means 'Everything'. That is, all matter, all space, all time.
Answer:
period
Explanation:
A wave takes 0.5 seconds to complete one cycle. It is called the time period of the wave. It is the time taken by the wave to complete one cycle.
The relation between the time period and the frequency is given by :
T = 1/f
Where
f is frequency of the wave
Hence, the correct option is (a) "period".
Crates is the correct answer because they create dents that make the bumps of mountains.
The conventional signal used by sailboats in conditions of reduced visibility such as heavy fog is one long blast followed by two short blasts.
The blasts help other boat operators locate one another's vessel in a condition where it is not easy to see. This signal is repeated in order to not only let others know of the vessel's position, but also help them know which way it is traveling. For example, if the blasts start to become distant, then the sailboat is travelling away from you.
