There are a lot of factors that lead to high death tolls.
For example, the population density is high, this way people can't escape as quick.
Or, the technology level of the place is low, and they may not predict or announce the earthquake.
Or maybe the education level of the citizens are low, and they do not know what to do when earthquake occurs.
Even the awareness of people matters, for example earthquake does not occur frequently and they're not aware of it.

How are temperature and salinity related in a thermohaline circulation pattern?
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the circulation of currents in the deep ocean due to the density of the water which is controlled by heat and salinity. Water in the ocean posses layers or defined boundaries based on the density which provides driving force to the deep ocean currents.

Formation of these layers is due to the sinking of the cold water in the basin which and ice formation which leaves the salt in the seawater ,therefore, increasing salinity. This increased salinity increases its density and the surface water is replaced by the sinking water causing deep ocean currents.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

pishuonlain [190]

The cause of death appears to be starvation, though that's under investigation. Many of the stranded whales in 2019 have been malnourished, said David Weller, a research wildlife biologist with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.

If the voltage of this battery was increased,what would happen to the light bulb’s brightness
Degger [83]

Surprisingly, nothing.

Without changing the characteristics of the light bulb, it's not actually possible to change the voltage without changing the current as well. When the voltage is increased, the current through the bulb has to increase as well in order to make it glow brighter.
