Answer:

Continental drift in terms of plate tectonics.

Explanation:

  • Plates on which the landmasses and various features are made is not static as it looks and is more dynamic and was more destructive in the past as the formation of the earth during the 4.6 billion years ago the continental landmass underwent transformations and breakthrough happened as the split and rejoined and again joined to form what is seen today.
  • These plates drifted in such ways that the landmasses formed various properties of the northern and southern hemispheres. Wegener gave evidence of Jigsaw fit puzzle, drifting of the climatic zones, spreading of the plants and animals located at the same continental borders.

The distance to the epicenter of an earthquake is found by a. locating the area where most of the damage is centered. b. compari
MariettaO [177]

Answer: b. comparing the arrival times of the P-and S-waves.

Explanation: The epicenter of earthquakes is the location where the earthquake starts in the earth crust. To calculate the distance to the epicenter of an earthquake, you need to compare the arrival times of the P waves and the S waves. On a seismograph, a line is equivalent to 1 minute but it depends on the scale used.

Determine the magnitude of the earthquake by plotting the distance and amplitude on a chart and joining the two points.

Triangulation is then used to locate the epicenter. Three circles with a radius of the magnitude are drawn around the affected parts. The epicenter is the point where these circles meet.

How is turkey unique different the middle east nations?
beks73 [17]

Turkey was founded on a former Roman territory, approximately one thousand years ago. Very often, they called their state, their territory and even themselves “Roman” (Rum, in Turkish): Roman Saltanate, Rum Seljuk, Rum Province…

Today, only southeastern corner of Turkey is middle eastern. The rest is rather eastern European (Balkan, in particular). Turkish people (culture, traditions, habits) are much like Greeks, Romanians, Serbs, Bosnians, Albanians and Macedonians.

Some people think that Turkey was a middle eastern country and after the westernization revolutions it became different. This is not true. It was always different. It was a Balkan country, in negative or positive aspect, and still is.

And interesting that today the most difficult part in integrating to the rest of country is the southeastern part of Turkey: PKK terrorism, tribal structure, feudal institutions, poverty etc…
