Primary waves...

Cause rock particles to vibrate in the same direction that waves travel, have the fastest seismic waves, are first to be detected and recorded, and travel through solids and liquids

Cause rock particles to vibrate perpendicular to the direction that waves travel, are slower than P-waves but faster than surface waves, can be detected and recorded after P-waves, and only travel through solids

Cause rock particles to move in a rolling or elliptical motion in the same direction that waves travel, are the slowest seismic wave, and generally cause the most damage at Earth's surface.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

Design a model to demonstrate how Earth's systems (geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere) interact to affect climate. Explain the role of each system in your model.

Focus only on the atmosphere and its gases, ignoring interactions with other systems.

Show how volcanic activity (geosphere) affects atmospheric conditions and influences ocean currents (hydrosphere).

Model only the biosphere's impact on the atmosphere through carbon dioxide production.

Isolate the hydrosphere and examine its effects without interaction with other systems.
