Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

First of all, we have to know the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave.

A mechanical wave requires a material medium for propagation. It does not travel through space. An electromagnetic wave does not require a material medium for propagation and it can travel through space.

Light and heat are electromagnetic waves. They both belong to the electromagnetic spectrum. On the other hand, sound is a mechanical wave.

While heat and light can travel through space, sound can not because it is a mechanical wave. Sound has to pass through gas molecules and there is no gas in outer space.

Hence, we enjoy the sun's light and heat waves on Earth, but cannot hear any sound of the sun.

Why do intraplate earthquakes tend to be less frequent and smaller than earthquakes at plate boundaries?
Inga [223]
Earthquakes on plate boundaries happen more because the plates all move in different directions in a tectonic environment so they collide against each other which makes them more frequent. Earthquakes rarely happen in intra-plate environments but along faults in normally stable interior of the plates. If this doesn't make sense, ask me to reword it for you !

Can you describe how the motion and relative positions of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun affect tides?
Strike441 [17]
<span>"The moon is a major influence on the Earth’s tides, but the sun also generates considerable tidal forces. Solar tides are about half as large as lunar tides and are expressed as a variation of lunar tidal patterns, not as a separate set of tides. When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment, the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides."
