The 2004 earthquake in Indonesia occurred due to subduction of the indian-australian plate under the eurasian plate, creating a tsunami that killed over 220,000 people.

Most tsunamis are caused by sudden vertical movement of the ocean floor. Certain types of earthquakes, shear and normal fault earthquakes, occur at shallow depths below the seafloor and can cause very rapid seafloor movements.

As a general rule, the larger the region of displacement and hence the stronger the wave, the stronger the earthquake. In 2004, an earthquake in a subduction zone west of the Indonesian island of Sumatra triggered a significant tsunami in the Indian Ocean. The Sumatra Trench is formed when pieces of the Eurasian Plate are sunk beneath the Indian Ocean Plate there.

Examine the figure that presents regional NIR in the developed region of North America as well as in six developing regions. Whi
Lapatulllka [165]

According to the graph, we can see the total fertility rates that can be compared to the population growth rates, as shown in option C. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The chart analyzes the NIR of the regions.
  • The NIR is related to the percentage of growth that a population achieved during one year.
  • The chart analyzes this value, associating it with the natural growth of these regions.
  • This natural growth shows how much the population of a country has grown, without considering the migration that takes place in a country, that is, without considering the people who have moved between regions of the country.

In this case, we know that the graph considers population growth taking into account the birth rate and therefore considering the fertility rate, in one year.
