The correct answer is 2.2 km/s

Earthquake is a natural disaster when the tectonic plates of the Earth starts vibrating. The speed of earthquake is the velocity by which the waves will vibrate the Earth.

Given,

Wavelength λ= 13 km

Frequency f = 10 times/min

it vibrates 10 times each minute

so the frequency is defined by the number of vibrations per second

f = 10 per minute

f = 10/60

now the speed of wave is defined as

v = λ * f

v = 13 * (1/6)

v = 2.2 km/s

Therefore the speed at which the wave of earthquake having wavelength 13 km causes the ground to vibrate is 2.2 km/s.

katrin [286]

If you stand on one side of a strike-slip fault and the block on the other side of the fault has moved to your left, this is known as a(n)  left lateral fault.

There are several distinct sorts of fault lines, and they are called based on the fault's movement and the fault plane's own direction. These faults may be found all over the world, but the most active and earthquake-producing ones are in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire region.

When you gaze along the length of a fault line, the left side will move toward you while the right side moves away from you. This is referred to as a left-lateral fault.

Neon signs require about 12,000 V for their operation. Consider a neon-sign transformer that operates off 120- V lines. How many
Ugo [173]
I can't give you the actual number of turns, because it's the RATIO
that counts. 

However many turns the primary has, the secondary should have
about TEN TIMES that number.  Then the transformer will multiply
the primary voltage by 10 ... 120 volts of AC at the primary will
become 1,200 volts of AC at the secondary.

Note that it HAS TO be AC.  If the transformer is supplied with DC,
then 120 volts at the primary becomes zero volts at the secondary
and a big cloud of stinky smoke in the room.
