Suppose a seismic refraction survey was conducted over an area with 3 horizontal layers (ie 2 interfaces). Which of the following scenarios would produce first arrivals at surface geophones from all three layers? (Top layer: seismic velocity v1, middle layer: seismic velocity v2, lower layer: seismic velocity v3) a. V1 = 400 m/s, v2 = 2000 m/s, v3 = 1500 m/s b. V1 = 1500 m/s, v2 = 2000 m/s, v3 = 400 m/s c. V1 = 2000 m/s, v2 = 1500 m/s, v3 = 400 m/s d. V1 = 400 m/s, v2 = 1500 m/s, v3 = 2000 m/s

A student from Isabela State University launched a rocket that has a payload of atmospheric sensors. The payload contains an altimeter and a digital barometer. From one of the University’s class room where they built a data receiving area, the altimeter sends 10 values of altitude, 5600 ft, 5000 ft, 4600ft, 4100 ft, 3800 ft, 3500 ft, 3150 ft, 2900 ft, 2300 ft, and 1300 ft. But the data of the barometer wasn’t sent because of a circuit anomaly. But the programmer assured that it will be recorded in the memory inside the payload’s microcontroller. Assuming the air density to be 1.18 ??/?3, what pressure we should expect depending on the data sent by the altimeter?
Problem 2. Planetary Body Composition: Density (Links to an external site.) of the Earth (Palen, et. al., 1st Edition, Chapter 6, problem 70) Earth’s mean (Links to an external site.) radius is 6,378 km and its mass is 5.97 x 1024 kg. CALCULATE Earth’s average (Links to an external site.) density. SHOW YOUR WORK. DO NOT LOOK UP THIS VALUE! The average density of Earth’s crust is 2,600 kg/m3. What does this tell you about Earth’s interior?
a. Density measures how much mass per unit of volume an object has. Calculate thedensity of Earth using the formula for a volume of a sphere and the constantvalues found on your formula sheet. b. What can you say about the composition of Earth when you compare your valuefrom question 4 to the density of water (approximately 1000 kg/m3 at roomtemperature)?
