Science fiction movies sometimes take place in space and contain scenes where things explode very loudly and brightly. Why is this unrealistic?(1 point)
Responses
The pressure in space would keep explosions from being very large.

Earthquakes can be recorded on a seismograph. This device produces a piece of paper with a long flat line, along with scribbles drawn with a needle that represent times when there has been an earthquake. How is energy transmitted to the seismograph?(1 point)
Responses
Sound waves carry energy through the air and shake the needle of the seismograph.
