What do you observe happens when a p wave travels from a solid to a liquid?

Answers

1- It depends on the incident angle at which the P-wave hits the liquid. Using snells law, a portion of the energy is converted to an S-Wave, a portion of it ir reflected, but the majority of the energy just disappears ( it is absorbed into the liquid ) since P-waves do not travel through liquids.2- it spreads out making the sound travel faster than it does in air3- P-waves move up and down4- S-waves move side to side5- P-waves are pressure waves, or longitudinal waves. The motion is in the direction of the wave. These waves travel through solids and liquids.S-waves are shear waves, or shaking waves. The motion is perpendicular to the wave direction. These waves cannot travel through liquids.An earthquake produces both P and S waves and by monitoring the arrival (or non-arrival) of P and/or S waves around the Earth we can infer a liquid component to the core.

Why mountains (any 2 )in uae differ in color

Answers

Answer:

the black-coloured sand found in Fujairah may be specific to dark-coloured mountain regions in the emirate and the white-coloured sand is found close to the RAK mountains because of the presence of sandstone. there are my colours of sand present in all over the emirates of UAE. this maybe one of the reasons for which some mountains compared to others may differ in colour.

Answer:

Weathering and erosion removed the overlying layers of continental siliciclastic rocks and exposed underlying formations with different mineralogy and chemistry. This causes the striking variation in colors

non-visible minerals
Foliated
may contain serpentine
may contain micas
Non-foliated
formed by contact metamorphism
formed by regional metamorphism

Answers

Answer:

Principal characteristics of a slate are:

It's a Metamorphic rock

As e metamorphic rock it is Foliated

It's origin is Regional metamorphism

Is a fine-grain rock, for that reason it has non-visible minerals

A slate is composed by principally by clay and Micas.

Explanation:

Slate rocks are fine-grain metamorphic rocks which original rock use to be a shale or a vocanic rock. It is foliated, becase of compression stress produced by regional metamorphism, it means, orogenic metamorphism common in compresive plate boundaries. The foliation are planes perpendicular to the stress direction. It has non visible minerals because of the size of it's original components; usually it comes from shales, sedementary rock with clay minerals that after metamorphism sometimes become micas.
