Answer:

Because of their wave movement, P waves travel through any kind of material, whether it is a solid, liquid or gas. On the other hand, S waves only move through solids and are stopped by liquids and gases. ... This also accounts why fewer S waves are recorded than P waves.

On saturn, would a person choke in the atmosphere, be squashed by the extreme gravity, float with ease, freeze, burn up, or some
anastassius [24]

Answer:

Saturn is the distinct and large gaseous planet in the solar system that is comprised of a ring on its exterior. It is a planet which has the lowest density. Saturn has an atmosphere of very high thickness and the dominant gas present here is hydrogen and helium. The pressure and the depth in Saturn are directly proportional to one another.

As one goes deep inside the Saturn, the body will eventually shrink and get squashed due to the extreme pressure and also will get freeze due to the extremely low temperature.

Why do deserts form around areas near the tropics but not the equator
anygoal [31]
You see, we are more likely to find tropical rainforest and jungles on a hot and sunny location like on the equator. In fact, desert doesnt always have to be hot at all, for instance, the antarctica. Deserts are formed on locations with different climates and less precipitation. And unlike the locations on the equator, which receives high amount of rainfalls, deserts receive way too little, thus, affecting the vegetation and growth in the area.
