Answer:

1.)lithosphere : The lithosphere is the solid, outer part of the Earth, including the brittle upper portion of the mantle and the crust

2.)asthenosphere : Asthenosphere, the zone of Earth’s mantle lying beneath the lithosphere and believed to be much hotter and more fluid than the lithosphere. The asthenosphere extends from about 100 km (60 miles) to about 700 km (450 miles) below Earth’s surface.

3.)mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 2,900 kilometers (1,802 miles) thick and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume.

4.)outer core : The outer core, about 2,200 kilometers (1,367 miles) thick, is mostly composed of liquid iron and nickel. The NiFe alloy of the outer core is very hot, between 4,500° and 5,500° Celsius (8,132° and 9,932° Fahrenheit).

5.)inner core: The inner core is a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron. It has a radius of about 1,220 kilometers (758 miles). Temperature in the inner core is about 5,200° Celsius (9,392° Fahrenheit). The pressure is nearly 3.6 million atmosphere (atm).

Answer:

Explanation:

1.the rigid outer part of the earth, consisting of the crust and upper mantle.

2.the upper layer of the earth's mantle, below the lithosphere, in which there is relatively low resistance to plastic flow and convection is thought to occur.

3.the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior.

4.the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer,

5.a hot, dense ball of (mostly) iron.

What information is needed to determine the distance from the focus of an earthquake to the seismic receiving station?
Jet001 [13]

The distance from the earthquake to the observation point is estimated using the arrival time difference of the P-wave and S-wave information needed to determine the distance from the focus of an earthquake to the seismic receiving station.

The distance from the epicenter of an earthquake to the seismic station is determined by the time difference between the first arrival of the P and S waves. This is known as the S-P interval.

Requires triangulation to determine the exact location. Three seismometers are required. A circle is drawn from each of the three different seismometer sites, with the radius of each circle equal to the distance from that seismic receiving station to the epicenter.
