Answer: By looking at the damage that was caused and by using seismometers.

Explanation: A seismometer is an instrument that records the shaking of the Earth's surface caused by seismic waves. The term seismograph usually refers to the combined seismometer and recording device. Seismometers allow us to detect and measure earthquakes by converting vibrations due to seismic waves into electrical signals, which we can then display as seismograms on a computer screen. Seismologists study earthquakes and can use this data to determine where and how big a particular earthquake is.

Explain how homeownership in the nation is affected by the U.S. Supreme Court decision making.

elixir [45]

Thanks to decisions by the Supreme Court, home ownership in the United States is more inclusive of other races apart from White Americans.

Both before and after the Fair Housing Act formally made it illegal to discriminate based on a person's race and gender, the Supreme Court made some decisions that tried to make home ownership more inclusive such as:

Shelley v. Kraemer - here the Supreme Court ruled that it was not possible to enforce covenants in the deeds to property that were restrictive based on race.
Jones v. Mayer Co. - the Supreme Court ruled that any form of racial discrimination in home ownership was illegal

These are just two cases where the Supreme Court's decision affected homeownership but there are more.

We can conclude however, that based on the Supreme Court's decisions, homeownership is more inclusive of other races.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer: B. Suggestibility

Explanation: According to the statement in the question, Alex saw a girl in a red shirt stealing a candy bar. When asked by police what candy bar was stolen by the girl in the blue shirt, Alex accepts that it is a girl in a blue shirt. It is the result of suggestibility, and that is the tendency to accept according to the suggestions of others. In general, the information Alex gave is credible because it is a girl who stole a candy bar, but some part of the information is false, that part of the information that appears as a gap in memory for various reasons. These gaps in memory can occur as a result of the excitement or authority of a police uniform, and are usually filled with false information as a product of suggestibility.
