Description of the P and S waves.

The P waves are those that are recorded first at the epicenter and they are first one to arrive the secondary or the S waves are those that don't travel through the liquids and they are second to arrive.

Thus the answer is the of the arrival and gap between both the waves is four minutes lesser.

Due to the fast movement of the P waves they are able to move through the solid and liquid at a higher velocity than the S waves and hence there is a time gap between them.They thus affect the arrival time on the seismograph.

Hence the option One is correct.

1. The time difference between the arrival of the first P-Wave and S-Wave would be less than 4 minutes.

Explanation:

S waves are slower than P waves, even if emitted at the same time. In this case, we can say that if a station is located close to the earthquake epicenter, the station would receive these waves quickly. The P wave would be received first, since it has a higher speed, the S wave would arrive soon. As you did not provide the times when each wave was emitted, we cannot accurately state the time when each wave would be perceived by the station. However, as the station is close to the earthquake, we can say that the time difference between P and S waves would be seconds, that is, less than 4 minutes.

The shaping always moves forward. even if the progress breaks down you have to take a step back before moving forward again but there is no such thing as backward shaping

if triangle abc is congruent to triangle def, their interior angles are congruent, because congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc).

that means ∠d is congruent to ∠a; ∠d is equal to 8x - 2.

interior angles of all triangles add to equal 180 degrees, so you can set the sum of these interior angle values equal to 180 and solve for x.

180 = (8x - 2) + 22 + 72

180 = 8x - 2 + 22 + 72

180 = 8x + 92

88 = 8x

11 = x

x = 11
