Write a 5 paragraph essay applying physic concepts to the geological processes of the Earth. Introduce the different Earth processes that you will discuss. The next three paragraphs need to be dedicated to the processes and the physic concept(s) that you apply to the Earth’s processes. The last paragraph should conclude what you discovered about the relationship between the Earth’s processes and physics.

Tutorial An earthquake occurs 7,375 km from a seismograph. The P-waves arrive 12.2 minutes later. How fast is the P-wave traveling (in km/s)? If the lag time between P- and S-waves is 10.6 minutes, how fast are the S-waves traveling (in km/s)? Using the shadow of S-waves you determine that the radius of the core is 55% of the Earth's 6,378-km radius. How many kilometers from the surface is this (in km)? Part 1 of 3 To calculate how fast the P-waves are traveling, we need to divide the distance the waves travel by the time. d Vp = Make sure you are dividing by the time in seconds. s Vp = Make sure you are dividing by the time in seconds. km/s

Use a logarithmic model to solve. The Los Angeles area experiences many earthquakes. Suppose Los Angeles experienced an earthquake that measured a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. Suppose that Los Angeles experienced another earthquake years later, which measured 5.2 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) The intensity of the earlier earthquake in Los Angeles was about times the intensity of the later earthquake.
