Earth's Interior and Plate tectonics
What is the name of the two types of waves that scientists use to study Earth’s interior?
P waves and S waves
Where should you go during an earthquake if you’re indoors
Under the table
What is human activities that contribute more to the rise in global temperature? Why?
Fossil fuel combustion
Which layer of the Earth can Secondary (S) seismic waves NOT travel through?
Liquid
What are some things that you should stay away from if you’re outdoors during an earthquake?
Buildings, trees, power lines.
If you were evaluating a report on the "factors of global warming," why would it be important to ask whether the data include Earth cycles, such as bad and good cycles?
To clarify if the warming is being accelerated by the Earth's own systems in response to initial human-caused warming.
Which layer of Earth is made up of tectonic plates?
Lithosphere
In which three areas are earthquakes most common?
The three areas where earthquakes are most common are the alpine belt and the circum pacific belt.
Which atmospheric gas molecules were not affected by the visible or infrared radiation?
Oxygen molecule
How do humans know about the structure of Earth?
Earthquake
What is most earthquake-inducing stress caused by?
It is caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
How does the climate change?
Climate change is the long-term shift in global weather patterns primarily caused by human activities that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Give a fact about each type of wave
P waves compress layers of the rock or liquid they pass through and are the first to reach seismic stations.
S waves travel half as fast as P waves shearing rocks apart.
How have cities in earthquake-prone locations adapted to earthquakes?
They have worked a lot on building and to be effective and there's drills to make people get prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis.
Which atmospheric gas molecules were affected by the visible or infrared radiation?
Water vapor (\(H_{2}O\)), carbon dioxide (\(CO_{2}\)), methane (\(CH_{4}\)), nitrous oxide (\(N_{2}O\)), and ozone (\(O_{3}\))
