Divide the amount in half for every 2 minutes

0 minutes = 20 grams

2 minutes = 20/2 = 10

4 minutes = 10/2 = 5

6 minutes = 5/2 = 2.5

8  minutes = 2.5/2 = 1.25 grams

Why are architects and engineers concerned about surface waves
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Because they are the most destruction waves

Explanation:

Surface waves travel just below the earth’s surface.  Examples of surface waves are Rayleighs and Long waves. Rayleighs cause ripples on the ground while long waves move the ground horizontally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the wave. Therefore, these waves are capable of destroying the foundations of structures and hence causing their collapse. Studying these waves allow these professionals to design foundations strong enough to withstand these waves.
