Geography

qaws [65]3 years ago

Every 50,000 years or so, the magnetic poles of the Earth reverse. As basalt is erupted from sea floor spreading centers, the iron in the basalt aligns itself to the magnetic pole orientation. Paleomagnetism is simply studying the magnetic orientation of iron in old rocks. So, if you have a section of sea floor and you find three zones that record magnetic pole reversals, you know that by the rate of those reversals you are looking at roughly 150,000 years of time.

Two stars, Star 1 and Star 2, are at almost equal distances from Earth. The table below shows the masses of the two stars.
Harman [31]
Which of these statements is most likely correct about the stars?


Star 2 attracts Star 1 with a greater gravitational force than Star 1 attracts Star 2.

No, because Third Newton Law states that both forces are equal in magnitude.

Earth exerts almost equal gravitation force on both the stars.

No, because the Universal Gravitational Law, estblished by Newton, states the atraction force to two masses is proportional to the product of the masses.

Star 1 attracts Star 2 with a greater gravitational force than Star 2 attracts Star 1.

No (same reason for the first statement)

Earth exerts greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.

Right. This is the correct statement. Given the mass of Star 2 is greater than the mass of Star 1, by the Universal Gravitational Law, the earth exerts greater gravitational attraction on Star 2.

Answer:

Ans.1. If you are indoors, drop and take cover under a sturdy table or other furniture. Hold on to it and stay put until the shaking stops.

Stay clear of items that can fall and injure you, such as windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture.

Stay inside. You may be injured by breaking glass and falling objects if you run outside.

If you are at the coast, walk to higher ground away from the ocean as soon as it is safe for you to move.

If you are driving, move your car as far out of the normal traffic pattern as possible and stop if it is safe. Stay away from structures or objects that could fall on you, such as bridges, overpasses, light posts, power lines or trees. Stay inside your car.

If you are in the mountains, or near unstable slopes, be alert for falling rocks, trees or landslides that could be loosened by the earthquake.

Ans.2.Rural/Urban area: Rural areas have fewer people and fewer buildings so the size of the disaster is smaller. Distance from the epicentre: The closer a town or city is from the epicentre the more damage will be caused because of the strong seismic waves.

Ans. 3 There are three basic types of seismic waves – P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves are sometimes collectively called body waves.
