<span>A body wave is a seismic wave that moves through the interior of the earth, as opposed to surface waves that travel near the earth's surface.

 P and S waves are body waves. Each type of wave shakes the ground in different ways</span>

It's velocity changes, but its speed remains the same.<br> The<br> true or false
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity, which means that it carries both magnitude and direction. Hence when direction of a particle changes, although magnitude (speed) may remain same, it's velocity changes due to direction change. For ex. A particle is m... A particle is moving along x axis with speed 1m/s, it's velocity will be represented as 1i (i represents unit vector along x)

But if it now starts moving along y axis, it's velocity is 1j (j represents unit vector along y axis). Hence velocity changes with direction.

1. The geologic time scale divides time into years and centuries, true or false
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is "False"

Explanation:

The geologic time scale is the "schedule" for occasions in Earth history. It partitions time into named units of unique time called in descending order of duration "eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages". The specification of those geologic time units depends on stratigraphy, which is the relationship and order of rock layers. The fossil structures that happen in the stones, nonetheless, give the central methods for setting up a geologic time scale, with the circumstance of the development and vanishing of far and wide species from the fossil record being used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages,, periods, and different stretches.

Geologic time is the broad time period involved by the geologic history of Earth. Formal geologic time starts toward the beginning of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years back) and proceeds to the current day.

How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound wave is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

P is power

A is area

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

or

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}, r is distance from the source

If the distance from the  source is increased by a factor of 4, r' = 4r

So,

I'=\dfrac{1}{r'^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{(4r)^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{I}{16}

So, the new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.
