Answer:

The P waves undergoes compression and dilation during motion in its direction of propagation. This waves reaches the station first because the P waves travels at a speed, that is much faster in comparison to the S waves. The S waves are the secondary waves and are commonly known as the shear waves.

The P waves have the ability to travel in both solid as well as in liquid, whereas the S waves can propagate only in solid region because they are absorbed at the core-mantle boundary.

Thus, the P waves will arrive the station first and the difference between the arrival of P and S waves are plotted in the graph that helps in depicting the epicenter and the amount of energy released during an earthquake.

The P waves vibrate very quickly out from the epicenter first in all directions, in a circular way passing the station. The S waves then vibrate out from the epicenter a few seconds later and cause the sideways shaking of the land as they pass the station. The P wave then reflects off the core of the Earth and  bounces back past the station, followed by the S wave a few seconds later  because both waves reflect off the earths core back to the epicenter.

3. In what possible scenario would the female birds evolve to having the singing trait? (5 points)
Iteru [2.4K]

The possible scenario for singing traits in female birds will be about 26% in Generation 4 species

Explanation:

Singing trait have been common among both male and female birds and it is an ancestral traits. However, singing has been more sex-specific with male birds. Reasons for which birds generally sing are:

  • To attract the mates
  • While making nests and laying eggs
  • For the young birds to recognize their parents

However, various studies prove that the singing trait in female birds is reducing with increase in non-singing female birds over the years due to evolutionary course.

Rutherford tracked the motion of tiny, positively charged particles shot through a thin sheet of gold foil. Some particles trave
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Some particles traveled through empty parts of the atom and some particles were deflected by small areas of high-density positive charge in atoms.

Explanation:

Rutherford concluded from his experiment that there are empty spaces present in most parts of the atom while a heavy positive charge is present in the nucleus of an atom due to which the tiny positively charged particles deflects because of positive-positive charge repulsion. Most of positively charged particles passes undeflected which indicated the presence of empty spaces in the atoms. The electrons revolve around the nucleus have no effect on the deflection of positively charged particles.

How do day-neutral and intermediate-day photoperiod plants differ in their requirements?
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

Photoperiod signifies towards the time that an animal or a plant gets exposed to light in a twenty-four-hour duration. Different types of plants need different durations of light exposure to follow their respective life cycles.  

On the basis of getting exposed to light differently, the plants are differentiated into short-day plants, long-day plants, day-neutral plants, and intermediate-day plants. The day-neutral plants will undergo flowering at any length of the day, given that there is the availability of minimum amount of light, which is essential for usual growth. For example, beans, tropical plants, cotton, and others.  

On the other hand, the intermediate-day plants will not flower if the days are too long or too short, like different varieties of grasses.

Rufina [12.5K]
The commence is off base with regards to the enthusiasm for creating fake blood. The intrigue is on the grounds that the timeframe of realistic usability of put away blood is extremely constrained. The other intrigue is concerning transfusion responses related with red platelet antigens that can bring about lethal responses and cause delays in finding good blood that hazard understanding lives. At present the rate of securing HIV disease through blood transfusions has been computed to associate with one case for every a million or two million transfusions. That viewpoint has been tackled with respect to testing however alternate issues still remain and they persuade the proceeded with look for simulated blood. Other developing infections like Zika and other obscure infections additionally makes a requirement for such research.

Demonstrate through chemical modeling what happens to the protein structure (keratin) of curly hair after a chemical relaxer and
NeX [460]

Answer:

Denaturation occurs.

Explanation:

When a chemical relaxer and heat applied to a curly hair, the protein present inside your hair get denature. Due to this denaturation of protein in the hair, the hair are soft and flexible which can be converted into any direction and different styles can be done. If chemical perm or relaxer is applied to straight hairs, it also denature the protein and make the hair curly.
