Answer:

7.5

Explanation:

The tsunami in Sulawesi occurred in September 2018. It was as most earthquakes that trigger tsunamis, as the majority of the tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes that occur in the bellow the ocean, but this one occurred on land. The earthquake was preceded with multiple foreshocks, and when the main one came it was with a magnitude of 7.5 Richter. The earthquake occurred in the mountainous part of the peninsula. Initially the officials rang the tsunami alarm, but after half an hour called it off. That was a big mistake. Even though the tsunami was only on a local scale, it occurred, and it wiped out the coastal area. Around 4,340 people have lost their lives, with thousands of houses and infrastructure being destroyed. This is made it the most devastating earthquake in 2018, and the deadliest earthquake in Indonesia since 2006.

The correct tile combination that will form the correct pairs is explained. Vegetation is made up of plant species as well as the underlying cover.

<h3>What is vegetation?</h3>

A general term without specific reference to a particular taxon, health morphology, composition, geographic location, or other specific aspect of plant or environmental science. So, the right pairs are:

  •  Plants - Don't grow back due to lack of nutrients
  •  Wildlife- Lose the environment they need to survive
  •  Air- Their quality deteriorates due to Excess Carbon Dioxide Cutting    Equipment
  • Soil - Excessive exposure to soil makes it more susceptible to erosion. The proper combinations of tiles to form a matching pair can be explained. To learn more about vegetation, see:

How can new technologies in geography help us to answer geography’s three key questions?
svp [43]

Geography's relevance to science and society arises from a distinctive and integrating set of perspectives through which geographers view the world around them. This chapter conveys a sense of what is meant by a geographic perspective, whether it be applied in research, teaching, or practice. Due to space limitations, it does not attempt to cite the many excellent examples of research illustrating geography's perspectives; the citations refer mainly to broad-ranging summaries of geographic research that are intended as resources for further reading.

Taking time to understand geography's perspectives is important because geography can be difficult to place within the family of academic disciplines. Just as all phenomena exist in time and thus have a history, they also exist in space and have a geography. Geography and history are therefore central to understanding our world and have been identified as core subjects in American education. Clearly, this kind of focus tends to cut across the boundaries of other natural and social science disciplines. Consequently, geography is sometimes viewed by those unfamiliar with the discipline as a collection of disparate specialties with no central core or coherence.
