Earth Systems and Resources Review

Which of the following is true?

• s-waves arrive at the seismograph in less time than p-waves so they must be faster

• p-waves arrive at the seismograph in less time than s-waves so they must be moving faster

• s-waves arrive at the seismograph in less time than p-waves so they must be moving slower

• p-waves arrive at the seismograph in less time than s-waves so they must be moving slower

If the earth's crust continues to move at the same speed, how long would you predict it would take to move 50 mm?

• 5 min

• 25 min

• 10 min

• 50 min

What is the best question you could ask to determine the states of matter inside earth?

• How do seismic waves travel through Earth?

• How does the magnetic field of Earth affect Earth's atmosphere?

• What is the density of Earth's layers?

• What is the composition of Earth?

which best explains how a delta can form?
