Spring Tide
Both P-waves and S-waves change speed when they travel through Earth's layers. What characteristic of the layers causes the waves to speed up or slow down?
Density
What is the difference between phenotype and genotype?
Phenotypes are observable characteristics, while genotypes are the genetic codes that determine an organisms phenotype
