What aspects of Japan’s physical geography put it at risk for earthquakes and tsunamis

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Japan is extremely vulnerable to earthquakes and tsunamis due to its location in the Pacific Ring of Fire. The “ring” is a horse-shoe shaped basin along the Pacific Ocean. About 90 percent of all seismic activity in the world takes place in this region.

If an earthquake measures 1.5 on the Richter Scale, what is the intensity of this earthquake, relative to a 0-level earthquake? Round off your answer to the nearest integer.

Answers

Answer:

Intensity depends on the distance form the ground and source of energy.

Explanation:

Earth quake that has an intensity of 1.5 on the Richter scale can be detected only through the seismograph. The earthquake with an intensity of 0 levels on the Richter scale that is below micro will not be felt or rarely felt in scale. This can be defied by the Richter scale formula of  R=log(IcIn), Ic is the intensity and In is the intensity if the standards earthquake. Hence the difference will be R2−R1=log(I2I1)

mối quan hệ giữa quá trình nội lực và ngoại lực

Answers

Answer:

The importance of categorizing a force as being either internal or external is related to the ability of that type of force to change an object's total mechanical energy when it does work upon an object. When net work is done upon an object by an external force, the total mechanical energy (KE + PE) of that object is changed.

Explanation:

in vietamnise/

Tầm quan trọng của việc phân loại một lực là bên trong hoặc bên ngoài có liên quan đến khả năng của loại lực đó để thay đổi tổng năng lượng cơ học của một vật thể khi nó hoạt động trên một vật thể. Khi công việc ròng được thực hiện trên một đối tượng bởi một ngoại lực, tổng năng lượng cơ học (KE + PE) của đối tượng đó được thay đổi.

Discuss on the major problem of urban centres of ethiopia

Answers

Answer: Urban centers in Ethiopia are ridden by a variety of socio-economic issues such as illiteracy, unemployment, and especially poverty.

Explanation: They can also lack environmental management, lack of stability in infrastructure and buildings, as well as lack of investment in the local human population.  

While there has been an increase in construction, the quality of construction itself has been poor as the government has felt pressure to rapidly build in order to meet demand and immediate needs.  However this can mean very costly rehabilitation of the faulty construction in the future.  

In addition, in urban Ethiopia, women out number men which has contributed to the poverty level as their main source of employment is agriculture.  

Furthermore, many times there is only one main road within the urban centers which contributes to a lack of infrastructure and overcrowds the area.

Finally, there is also a lack of post secondary education and medical facilities.

Surface features that are created when water dissolves limestone, like sinkholes and disappearing streams, are parts of Group of answer choices a potentiometric surface. a geothermal landscape. a karst landscape. an artesian surface.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is ''a karst landscape.''

Explanation:

A karst landscape is due to the erosion of water in limestone, that is, it is the surface of the earth resulting from the action of water on soluble rocks, in a slow dissolution process that takes thousands and even millions of years –approximately 5 mm of advance in the rock every hundred years–. The phenomenon is common in limestone rocks. This type of relief originated from the dragging or accumulation of soluble and disintegrated materials, such as those made up of carbonates. Limestone rock can decompose with water, since it is soluble; this solubility increases with the presence of acids produced by the mixture of CO2 and water, or by organic acids from the microbial activity of the soil. In this way, the limestone rocks fragment and form holes that, over time, give rise to various types and sizes of holes or depressions on the surface.

Answers

Answer:

Aloft high pressure develops in cold air regions while low pressure develops in warm air regions

Explanation:

A thermally-driven circulation, or thermals are the movement of warm air that move to a higher level due to the buoyancy forces acting on them. That is due to the difference in densities between the warmed and cool air

Given that pressure = Density, ρ × Gravity, g × Height, h, we have that decrease in pressure (low pressure) is due to low density, therefore, the warm air having low pressure, moves upwards, due to their low density

Therefore, the best option is aloft, (as we move higher), high pressure develops in cold air regions while low pressure develops in warm air regions

Answer:

China’s Communist Party turns a century old this July, a milestone that Beijing is celebrating with a crescendo of fireworks, theatrics and a fervent campaign to honor its revolutionary past.

The party has often lurched between tragedy and triumph between its birth as an underground movement and its current dominance over the world’s most populous nation. It seized power in 1949, and its early decades in government were tumultuous, with Mao Zedong launching radical purges and a disastrous industrial program that led to one of the deadliest famines in history.

Mao’s death in 1976 precipitated political and economic changes under Deng Xiaoping that would transform an impoverished nation into a global economic powerhouse.

B.
It is equal to about 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
C.
It is equal to about 1.5 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
D.
It is equal to about 2 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.

Answers

Answer:

B.) It is equal to about 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.

Explanation:

Given the scores :

Williams :

89,97, 78, 81, 91

Andre :

90, 74, 73, 87, 82

The mean scores :

Mean = ΣX / n

William's mean score = 436 / 5 = 87.2

Mean absolute deviation :

[|89-87.2| + |97-87.2| + |78-87.2| +|81-87.2| + |91-87.2|] / 5

William's mean absolute deviation = 6.16

Andre's mean score = 406 / 5 = 81.2

Andre's mean absolute deviation =

[|90-81.2| + |74-81.2| + |73-81.2| +|87-81.2| + |82-81.2|] / 5 = 6.16

Difference of the mean = 87.2 - 81.2 = 6

Mean absolute deviation of each dataset = 6.16

The closest relationship between the mean difference and the mean absolute deviation is :

Mean difference is about 1 times the mean absolute deviation
