Question

Which of the following denotes the divisions of the geologic time scale m correct order of decreasing lengths of time beginning with the longest time interval and ending with the shortest? eon, epoch, period, era era, period, epoch, eon eon, era, epoch, period eon, era, period, epoch Sandstone strata and a mass of granite are observed to be in contact. Which of the following statements is correct geologically? The granite is older if it contains inclusions of sandstone. The granite is older If the sandstone contains pebbles of the granite. The sandstone is younger if it shows evidence of contact metamorphism. The sandstone is younger if the granite contains sandstone inclusions. When an earthquake occurs, energy radiates in all directions from its source. The source is also referred to as the focus inertial point epicenter seismic zone Which one of the following statements is correct S waves travel through solids and P waves travel through liquids. P and S waves travel through liquids, but P waves do not travel through solids. P waves travel through solids; S waves do not. P and S waves travel through liquids, but P waves do not travel through solids. have the highest velocities. Refracted S waves Secondary waves Surface waves Primary waves The amount of destruction caused by earthquake vibrations is affected by intensity and duration of the vibrations nature c# the surface material design of structures all of these On a typical seismogram, will show the highest amplitudes. S waves body waves surface waves P waves Major earthquakes are often followed by somewhat smaller events known as hyposhocks tremors aftershocks foreshocks The instrument that records earthquake events is termed a thermograph barograph seismograph polygraph The position on Earths surface directly above the earthquake source is called the inertial point focus epicenter seismic zone Overall, this type of seismic wave is the most destructive. tsunami P wave S wave surface wave Approximately how much more energy is released m a 6.5 Richter magnitude earthquake than in one with magnitude 5.5? 300 times 30 times 3 times 3000 times The distance between a seismological recording station and the earthquake source is determined from the arrival times of P and S waves length of the seismic record intensity of the earthquake earthquake magnitude
