Certain jets can actually fly faster than the speed of sound waves, which is approximately 1223 kilometers (760 miles) per hour! When jets fly that fast, they "break the sound barrier" and create another type of wave known as a shock wave. Which of the following best describes what happens when shock waves travel through air, given that shock waves and sound waves have similar properties? correct answersThe air particles compress and expand, forming the periodic motion of a wave. Earthquake...

Geologic time - The idea that the earth is old, and around 4.54 billion years old. After the K-T event - everything made after is made from the 30% of life left The most resent period in geological time is the - holocene, most resent 10,000 year period End of earth formation is represented in which geological time? - Hadean eon Earth cross-sectional radius - 6400 km (4000 miles). We know this because of remote sensing. Seismic wave - sound or vibration that can be measured, base...
