Question
Earthquakes transmit their energy through waves. These may be either transverse (side to side) or compression (along the direction of motion) waves. Which type would you expect not to travel through liquids such as water?
Earthquakes transmit their energy through waves. These may be either transverse (side to side) or compression (along the direction of motion) waves. Which type would you expect to move the fastest through solid rock?
Imagine the Earth without plate tectonics. What do you think it would look like?
The tectonic plate theory requires that enormous masses of the Earth's crust move constantly. The entire crust is solid. How do you imagine that pieces of this solid crust can be in motion?
Subduction occurs when one piece of crust goes under another as they collide. The piece underneath ends up in the liquid mantle. Do you think that this process will have any impact on the work of paleontologists? A paleontologist studies fossils found in old rocks.
1.Earthquakes transmit their energy through waves. These may be either transverse (side to side) or compression (along the direction of motion) waves. Which type would you expect not to travel through liquids such as water?
transverse waves compression waves both Transverse CompressionExplanation / Answer
1) compression waves does not travel through liquids such as water rather waves formed on water is the combination of transverse and longitudinal waves so correct option is B) compression waves
2) compression waves travel with highest velocity and expect to move the fastest through solid rock.
3) The entire surface would be covered with water. without plate tectonics.
4) according to the plate tectonics theory legible option seems to be is that the Volcanos erupt here and there, break up the crust and push it apart.
