A shear wave (S wave) is a type of seismic body wave that shakes the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is moving.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shear waves move through the body of an object, without following surface waves. These are called Secondary waves and S-waves. These are transverse too. Shear, as the name suggests, denotes a wave which is abnormal, i.e. perpendicular to the normal waves.

These normal waves are those which travel through the surface of the body. Unlike them, the S-waves travel move through the body, hence causes vibrations. These uncertain vibrations cause a body to shake, and therefore, the ground is shaken on the onset of shear waves. These are the causes of earth quakes.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is allopatric speciation.

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation occurs when a geographical barrier comes between a species population living in the same area. This geographical barrier separates the population into two different geographical area which do not have the same condition.

So as both the separated population get different habitat environment to live so they evolve differently from each other. So natural selection and genetic drift works differently in both the population which brings genetic changes in the population and helps in creating a new species.

just olya [345]

Circulatory system remove waste from the cell and provide clean blood to the cell.

Explanation:

During cellular respiration, lungs inhale oxygen which stored in the alveoli. The red blood cells contains hemoglobin that carries deoxygenated blood containing carbondioxide from the cell in the veins to the heart and unload this carbondioxide gas in the alveoli of the lungs and load oxygenated blood having oxygen from the alveoli through capillaries in order to provide oxygen to the cells that is necessary for the survival of humans. Platelets are the type of cells that helps in blood clotting whereas white blood cells provides immunity against pathogens.
