The following image is a prediction of how an earthquake would spread from the epicenter (marked by a star). Red indicates the worst areas, and green indicates the places where there is the least shaking. Water is colored blue. Consider a seismic wave—an earthquake—that starts in the middle of the red area and travels outward along the surface of the earth. Point A is the same distance from the epicenter as point B. Using what you know about the movement of waves, how would you expect the seismic waves to be different at point A and point B?(1 point)
Responses
The waves would be larger at point A than at point B.

Two objects are placed a certain distance from each other. The amount of gravitational force between the two objects depends on their masses and the distance between them. As the masses of the objects decrease, the force of gravity between them
. As the distance between the objects decreases, the force of gravity between them
