Answer:

510

Explanation:

Recurrence interval involves the average estimated time or average spacing between events. It helps to estimate the time probability of an event taking place.

Calculating the recurrence interval we have:

[(820 - 260) + (1200 - 820) + (2100 - 1200) + (2300 - 2100)] / 4

= (560 + 380 + 900 + 200) / 4

= 2040/4 = 510

After the calculations, the recurrence interval of the earthquake that caused the disruption is 510 years.

Horizontal variations in air pressure cause a force which makes the wind blow. These pressure variations are caused by a. warm t
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The pressure gradient causes the air to move horizontally, forcing the air directly from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure. The Coriolis force, however, deflects the direction of the flow of the air (to the right in the Northern Hemisphere) and causes the air to flow parallel to the isobars.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant. An erupting volcano is an active volcano that is having an eruption.

A Dormant volcanoes have not erupted for a very long time but may erupt at a future time. Extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future. Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects.
