<h3>What is plate motion in an earthquake?</h3>

Along fault lines, which are crevices in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates collide, earthquakes happen. They happen when plates are clashing, spreading, subducting, or sliding. Pressure rises when the plates become trapped as they grind against one another. Finally, the plates become loose due to the intense pressure between them. The earth may tremor mildly or violently, depending on how much pressure has accumulated.

The Richter Scale is used by scientists to gauge an earthquake's intensity. It rates earthquakes from one to ten. At magnitude 3, people seldom notice an earthquake, whereas at magnitude 4, windows may tremble. A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 6 can cause chimneys to collapse and houses to shake. A 9.5 magnitude earthquake was the biggest one ever recorded.

Alina [70]

The correct answers are:

- Nations will adopt a universal language;

With the globalization, more and more languages are becoming endangered, and very soon will be gone forever. The reason with this is that with the globalization, there's also a language that is spread around, the English language, and the majority of the young population is very fond of it and learns it, neglecting their own language in meantime.

- More languages will become extinct;

Because the spreading of a universal language seems to be taken place, with the English language being the front runner, and because the young generations tend to focus on it more than at their own language, the native languages will die out relatively quickly in the future, at least most of them.
