Wind farms are a source of renewable energy found around the world. One of the world's fastest-growing energy sources is wind energy since it has numerous economic benefit.

A renewable and clean energy source is wind power. Utilizing mechanical energy to spin a generator and generate electricity, wind turbines capture wind energy.

In addition to being a plentiful and limitless resource, wind also generates power without consuming any fuel or damaging the environment. The main renewable energy source in the United States is still wind, which aids in lowering our dependency on fossil fuels.

Annually, wind energy helps save 329 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which is the same amount of emissions produced by 71 million automobiles and contributes to acid rain, pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Answer: 1. What caused the Christmas Day Tsunami?

The Christmas Day Tsunami was the effect of a 9.3 magnitude underwater earthquake with a 990 mi

long rupture. The earthquake was said to have the same impact as the bombing in Hiroshima, which

was very strong. Therefore we can just imagine the intensity of the waves after a force that big.

2. What kinds of geographic forces were involved in creating the tsunami?

The earthquake caused vertical displacement in the seafloor and it release the stored energy

through the water, resulting in waves that ranged anywhere from 50-100ft high.

3. Why were so many people caught unprepared?

The earthquake that cause this tsunami was underwater so many people didn’t feel it, so they were

unaware of the giant waves that were coming.

The earthquake had a rupture of almost 1000mi long; countries that far away couldn’t feel it so they

didn’t prepare for the tsunami coming. Also the government didn’t notify the public. So the

government didn’t say anything and the people didn’t feel anything; for them that was just another

1. Tsunami Early Warning System

After the Christmas Day Tsunami, the Government of India authorized the Tsunami Early Warning

Project. The Early Warning System for Tsunamis provides advance warnings of Tsunamis likely to affect

the coastal areas of the country. First, a network of seismometers detects the seismic waves. If many

seismometers detect the same earthquake and then the magnitude can be calculated. If the

epicenter is under water, like the Christmas Day Tsunami, and the magnitude greater than a 6.5, also

like the Christmas Day Tsunami, waring is given out to the public virtually around 3minutes after the

earthquake to let them know that a big tsunami might be on its way and to prepare for impact. If the

epicenter is near inland and the probability of a tsunami is high, evacuation procedures will be

initiated immediately. Confirmation comes within about 30-60 minutes of the earthquake. This is by

using a network of tsunami buoys and seafloor pressure recorders. “These detect the series of waves

in the open ocean, and transmit the data by satellite to a regional control center. Tsunami warnings

reach the public via TV, radio, email, text messages, sirens and loudspeakers.”

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

America is located in the Noerthern and Western Hemispheres

Explanation:

Ok so there are two lines that cut the earth in half, one that goes horizontally called the equator, and one that goes vertically called the prime meridian. the equator divides the world into the northern hemisphere on the top half, and the southern hemisphere on the bottom half. the prime meridian divides the world into the western hemisphere on one side, and the eastern hemisphere on the other. so those two lines kind of make a grid, if you know what i mean. if you look, north america is located on the noethern and western hemisphere, because it is north of the equator, and west of the prime meridian. thank me
