I would say that D is the most important reason ie to monitor the location and magnitude of seismic activity to attempt to find patterns which may lead to the ability to predict the next earthquake in the world though individual seismic stations probably monitor more the seismic activity in their own country mostly though perhaps not exclusively.

<u>Answer:</u>

Seismic data should be continuously monitored "to determine the location and magnitude of seismic activity".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Determining the location and magnitude is of utmost importance in order to analyze the patterns of activity so that this information can later be used to predict the earthquakes that could possibly happen in the future, and measures will be taken accordingly.

The smaller earthquakes provide enough information that helps seismologists to evaluate the distribution, frequency, and the hazards caused so that precautions could be taken for the same. All this information collected is extremely useful in creating building designs and land use planning decisions. Tsunami occurrences can also be monitored with the seismic data obtained.

Why does Slovakia have a more vibrant agricultural sector than the neighboring<br> Czech Republic?
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Because of the fertile plains of the Danube River.

Explanation:

Slovakia and Czechia (formerly the Czech Republic) despite being part of a single country until three decades ago, and being neighbors with very close ties, have developed differently and their economies have a lot of differences. One of the biggest differences is that Slovakia has a highly developed agricultural sector while Czechia's is very small and doesn't contribute much to the economy.

s The reason for this difference is geography. Slovakia has a relatively large and very fertile plain, with the Danube River being a big plus in it. This provides Slovakia with enough area and very good conditions so that it can have a prosperous agricultural sector. Czechia, on the other hand, is almost entirely covered with mountains and hills, and the little area of the handfull of valleys is mostly urbanized, thus the country doesn't have what it needs to develop the agricultural sector.

Shania is trying to determine the oldest geologic unit on this map. Why is she unable to do so?
Anna [14]

B. There is no key on the map

Explanation:

Shania would be unable to determine the oldest formation because there is no key on the map. The map does not contain the proper details to be used to infer age relationships among the formations.

  • A map presents a three dimensional world on two dimensional paper or surface.
  • To infer relative ages, a cross section from the two dimensional representation is the most desired.
  • From the cross section, the third dimension can carefully be studied and ages inferred.
  • There is little to no way we can infer relative age relationship on this surface.
  • To do that, we would require a key. Most times, the key shows the stratigraphic column which puts rocks in their correct ages.
  • Most keys are arranged with formations from the oldest at the bottom and the youngest on top.
  • Since this map lacks a key, direction, scale and other map elements, it would not be possible to infer relative ages of the rock.
