The earthquake measure scale that is quantitative is the Richter scale.

The earthquake measure scale that is qualitative is the Mercalli Intensity scale

<h3>What is an Earthquake?</h3>

This refers to the tremor of the earth that is caused by various factors such as movement within the earth's crust.

Hence, we can see that the more reasonable scale is the Richter scale as it measures the magnitude of an earthquake through the use of a seismograph that helps to show how strong an earthquake is.

The statement that all earthquakes occur along a plate boundary is FALSE.

This is because some earthquakes do not occur in places that have a large concentration of fault.

The statement that the epicenter is where the break occurs near the fault causing the earthquake is FALSE.

This is because the epicenter is the place where an earthquake occurs, but the hypocenter is the place where earthquake occurs below the surface.

Hi people; there's a question that has been so confusing for me and a friend of mine.

Alborosie

Answer:

The correct answer is: 0°C + 0°C = 32°F

Explanation:

We need to remember the conversion equation from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

$y^{\circ}F=(x^{\circ}C * \frac{9}{5})+32$

In our case x = 0, then y will be:

$(0^{\circ}C * \frac{9}{5})+32=32$

$y=32^{\circ}F$

Now 0°C + 0°C is just 0°C because if we add a body at a certain temperature to another body with the same temperature the total temperature will the same.

Then, knowing that 0°C = 32°F we can conclude that:

$0^{\circ}C+0^{\circ}C=32^{\circ}F$

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

90 m/s

8100 m

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 0.5 m/s²

t = 3 min = 180 s

Find: v and Δx

v = at + v₀

v = (0.5 m/s²) (180 s) + 0 m/s

v = 90 m/s

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (180 s) + ½ (0.5 m/s²) (180 s)²

Δx = 8100 m

A scientist heard a flexible container full of neon gas. What will be likely to happen to the container as the gas absorbed heat

Doss [256]

As the gas absorbs heat, the sounds he hears become softer. This is because the pressure of the neon gas inside the container increases when the gas gets warmer, the walls of the container become tighter and stiffer, and it's harder for them to vibrate.
