<u>Answer</u>: b. 10 times weaker than the Great Chilean.

<u>Explanation</u> :

  • <em> Richter scale</em> is a numerical scale which is used to express the magnitude of an earthquake based on the seismograph recordings of the amplitude of the highest seismic wave.
  • The Richter scale is a<em> base-10 logarithmic scale.</em>
  • A base 10 logarithmic scale implies that each order of magnitude is <em>10 times greater than the previous one. </em>
  • Thus, even though 8.5 and 9.5 differ by a value of 1, the fact the scale is logarithmic with base 10 this means that Great Chilean earthquake is 10 times stronger than the earthquake on Kuril islands.
  • Thus, the <em>Kuril island earthquake is 10 times weaker than the Chilean earthquake.</em>

Microtubule – serves as a framework of the cell –cytoskeleton.<span>

Nucleus – the control center of each cell. It regulates, monitors and organizes the whole cell<span>

Since the pictures isn't given I can assume that it can be the microtubule, the microtubule is responsible for maintaing the shape and structure of the overall cell. It maintains homeostasis by permanently aiding the framework of the overall cell.
If it is the nucleus, the control center of a cell. It does a lot of functions in the cell, it helps maintain homeostasis by sending commands that the organelles do, supply energy, excrete or digest waste, regulate the movement of objects and cellular respiration, even cell division. It sustains the cell to be functional and proactive at the same time reactive to situations that is likely to occur.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

A. Less CO2 emitted from transportation

Explanation:

The other answer options don't make as much sense, since it would basically be from farm to table, answers B and D don't make sense. As for C, farmers would probably end up making more and if not the same, because they'd be able to directly sell a higher percentage of their yieldings from the crop because little to no transportation is required (less bruised or damaged goods) and the store or supermarket they sell it in wouldn't be taking a percentage of their earnings.

Which of the following statements is true about the three processes that can occur
Ivan

Answer:

b) The solar radiation can be absorbed by clouds and the atmosphere

Explanation:

The clouds consist of water vapour and the atmosphere consists of mixture of ai for example the carbon dioxide and methane. The water vapour and these two gases can all absorb sunlight.  Reason for this is that the bonding pairs of electrons come from different atoms in the molecule and the bonds are distorted.  Symmetrical molecules but with distorted bonds or bond electron pairs.

Thank you.
