Answer:

seismometers and the tilt meters, creep meters.

Explanation:

For monitoring the faults the geologist use to measure the elevation of land by the wires that stretched across the fault to measure the horizontal movement of the ground.

As the active faults have to be measured with the relative motion of the earth. The fault zone gets stuck up and locked up which indicates the tilting of the surface features that results in the lack of tiling around a fault.

The tiltmeters have a sensitive inclinometer that is designed to measure small changes in the earth like the dams or the monitoring of the volcanic zones.

I believe the correct term to fill the blank in the statement is a tiltmeter. Geologists use a tiltmeter to measure the tilting of the ground along a fault. This instrument is designed to measure small changes from the vertical level of the ground or any structure.

Overgrazing, which is when farmers allow livestock to graze to the point where they damage the vegetation, and deforestation, which is the process of removing trees and transforming a forest into cleared land, are also ways that humans cause desertification by removing vegetation.

What's been happening to the arctic sea ice and the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland in the past 20 years

bogdanovich [222]

Answer: The ice has been melting and declining

Explanation:

Due to an increase in industrialization, global warming is occurring. This has increased the average temperature around the globe considerably.

As you probably know, ice needs to be in a cold environment to stay frozen. Arctic sea ice, which is ice that floats in the sea near the Arctic, has been melting due to global warming.

In addition, the land ice on Antarctica and Greenland has also been melting due to global warming. The increase in average temperatures around the globe has created an environment that is too warm for ice.

In conclusion, global warming has caused Arctic sea ice, and land ice on Antarctica and Greenland, to melt. The globe is warmer than it once was. This means that the water that once was frozen is now melting. If we don't stop heating the planet, sea levels will rise due to the melting ice, and catastrophe will occur. Tens of thousands of animals will die, homes will be lost, and storms will increase in intensity and frequency if we don't reverse the effects of global warming now.

Save the Arctic, please.
