Hello,


It was established in 1935 by the American geologist Charles Francis Richter. This is a so-called logarithmic scale: an earthquake reaching 5 on the Richter scale is in fact 10 times more powerful than an earthquake of magnitude 4. In principle, this scale has no upper limit



Hope it helps a bit

Which statement best compares the movement of P waves and S waves?
ikadub [295]

Answer:

C.  P waves move matter back and forth, in a direction parallel to the direction of the wave, while S waves move matter up and down, perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Explanation:

P and S - waves are both called seismic waves. They are produced during deformation within the earth.

Usually, P or Primary waves have the fastest velocity and arrives at the seismic station first. Secondary, Shear or S-waves follows P-waves.

  • P-waves are body waves that propagates within a body. They cause movement internally.
  • Secondary waves are surface waves. They move on the surface of earth.
  • One way to also distinguish between these two seismic waves is that, P-waves are longitudinal waves that travels parallel or longitudinally to the source.
  • Secondary waves moves in an up and down motion pattern. They propagate transversely to their source.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

planetesimal assembly

Explanation:

The accretion model, also known as planetesimal assembly, is what gives us the perspective for the formation of the astronomical objects via the process of accretion. Some of the astronomical objects that are formed by this process are the galaxies, stars, planets,and  moons. The process of accretion represents the accumulation of particles into an object by gravitationally attracting more and more matter, mostly gaseous matter, forming an accretion disk.
