Answer:

The answer is option C.

Explanation:

The scale was produced by two researchers named Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg in 1935. Richter scale is utilized to quantify quake greatness; this is finished by estimating the logar. The Richter size scale is a size of numbers used to tell the extent of tremors. Charles Richter built up the Richter Scale in 1935. His scale depended on the seismogram estimated by a specific kind of seismometer at a separation of 100 kilometers.

The correct option is this: IT IS A NUMERICAL RATING SYSTEM THAT MEASURES THE LARGEST SEISMIC WAVES DURING AN EARTHQUAKE.
The scale was developed by two scientists named Charles Richter and Beno Gutenberg in 1935. Richter scale is used to measure earthquake magnitude; this is done by measuring the logarithm of the height of the largest wave using seismograph, which has been calibrated to a suitable scale.

The Southern Hemisphere experiences milder seasons than the Northern Hemisphere because...
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

It takes much longer to heat and cool the oceans than the continents.

Explanation:

The Southern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere, despite being equal in size and receiving the same amount of sunlight, have big differences in climate. This is the case because the Northern Hemisphere has much more landmass, while the Southern Hemisphere has much more ocean water.

The land is changing temperature much faster because it can heat and cool off very quickly, thus the temperature variations are very large, not just from season to season, but also between day and night. The water, on the other hand, is heating up and cooling off much slower, so its temperature is never oscillating a lot. This results in much smaller temperature swings, so the climate tends to be much milder than the climate in the Northern Hemisphere.

What should be done to ensure quick transport of trade between countries? Give 5 points.
Gwar [14]
Well first off we need to check the relationship between the country’s and if any delays are happening during the process of the transportation of the trade. You would also need security and background checks between the traders and the trades being traded and transported to another country. We would also need to know what things to ship and not to ship and make sure everything is safe to be traded.
