Answer:

The answer is less than 1 km.

Explanation:

Finding the Epicenter and Determining the Magnitude of an Earthquake indicates P wave travel time versus separate, and the lower one demonstrates that the 36-second S-P interim relates to a separation of around 555 km. This demonstrates the separation must be under 1 km. Seismic tremor estimate is a quantitative proportion of the measure of the quake at its source. The Richter Magnitude Scale estimates the measure of seismic vitality discharged by a quake. At the point when a quake happens, its extent can be given a solitary numerical incentive on the Richter Magnitude.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The P and S waves are the Primary and the Secondary waves. This S-P interval is recorded at a seismometer which is given as 8 minutes.

Given, S-P interval= 8 minutes

          Distance from the epicenter to the seismometer is required to find

According to the equation provided,

⇒(S-P interval) = 0.00146 × (distance to the epicenter)

⇒8 = 0.00146 × (distance to the epicenter)

⇒(distance to the epicenter) = 8 ÷ 0.00146

⇒(distance to the epicenter) = 5479.452 km

Thus, the approximate distance from the epicenter to the seismometer is 5500 km.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Which of the following has been proposed as a potential strategy for mitigating the increase of co2 in the atmosphere ?
Triss [41]
<span>Injecting into geological formation, adding iron to the ocean to increase phytoplankton, and shooting into space
</span>
All of the above proposed methods are being proposed to help decrease global warming <u>but adding aerosols into the atmosphere does not involve the mitigation of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. </u>

1. Adding aerosol to the atmosphere - aerosols added to the atmosphere have the potential to block the sun's rays and reduce global warming. They reflect the sun's rays back to the atmosphere while at the same time providing "seeds" around which water droplets can come together to form clouds. Cloud formation can also help increase the earth's reflectivity against the sun's rays.

2. Injecting into geological formation - carbon dioxide from stationary sources (e.g. powerplants and factories) can be captured and eliminated from the atmosphere, compressed into a fluid state, and injected deep underground into permeable and porous geological formations and overlain with a layer of impermeable rock to seal the CO2 underground. 

3. Adding iron to oceans to increase phytoplankton - phytoplanktons take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Thus, adding iron to the oceans, which acts as a fertilizer to the phytoplanktons, can encourage the growth of the phytoplankton population. The more phytoplanktons, the more CO2 that can be removed from the atmosphere. 

4. Shoot it into space - some scientists propose that a conveyor can be built in the Arctic to take advantage of the Earth's magnetic field and allow for the venting or expelling of CO2 into outer space.

Prove that root 2 as irrational number​
Reika [66]
To prove: √2 is an irrational number. Proof: Let us assume that √2 is a rational number. So it can be expressed in the form p/q where p, q are co-prime integers and q≠0. √2 = p/q. ...
Solving. √2 = p/q. On squaring both the side we get, =>2 = (p/q)2

trapecia [35]

Answer:

all of the above

Explanation:

Jobs people choose, what they do in their free time, how they travel, are all the consequences of the Earth's physical activities.

Vegetation, climate, land formation influence peoples' lives as people need to adapt to all the features of Earth and control and constrain the choices people make.
