In general, earthquake intensity is greatest in areas underlain by sediment.

When two earthen blocks abruptly slide past one another, it causes an earthquake. Fault or fault plane refers to the area where they slide. An earthquake's severity is quantified by its intensity, which is a number (written as a Roman numeral), which includes consequences on people, structures, and the earth's surface.

There are many different scales, for earthquake measurement but the Rossi-Forel scale and the Modified Mercalli scale are the two that are most frequently used in the US. The amount of soft soil that can be penetrated by seismic waves increases with the depth of the sediment layer above the bedrock. Greater wave size and amplification result from soft soil. To put it simply, the softer and thicker the soil, the higher the shaking or wave amplification.

liubo4ka [24]

<span>Ocean currents aid in the transportation of cold water towards the tropics and warm water towards the poles. By so doing, they help in the regulation of climate by ensuring that the uneven distribution of solar energy is counteracted. This in turn impacts on climate.</span>

The mid-latitude coastal city at the western boundary is likely to experience cool summers than they should and cool winters. On the contrary, a mid-latitude city on the eastern boundary is likely to experience a warmer weather. This mainly occurs because the two areas have different water temperatures. On the west, the gulf stream that feeds up the hurricane is usually warm as opposed to the east where ocean surface temperatures tend to be low.

Solvent contains chlorofluorocarbons or hydrochlorofluorocarbons which can evaporate and damage the ozone layer. True or false
Drupady [299]

The statement is - True.

The solvent do contains chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFC) which evaporate and enter the atmosphere. Because they are very light, the CFC and HCFC manage to get very high into the atmosphere, reaching the ozone layer in the stratosphere. They are actually the two substances that are the most damaging to ozone layer, as once they get in touch with it, they break down its structure, thus creating the ozone holes.

The ozone is crucial for the survival of the living organisms on the Earth as it is the layer that manages to stop most of the ultraviolet rays form the Sun to reach the surface. Because of that, these two substances have to be replaced quickly as the ozone layer is becoming more and more damaged, and that can eventually lead to a tragedy.
