Answer:
(b) the night would be half as long
Explanation:
- As the earth, if rotated twice as fast than it does now and the sun stayed the same then the night would be as half as long as the rotation of the planet on its axis would be double to that of its and 12 hours of night would be as long as the speed of the axial rotation.
Answer:
A. The Asthenosphere is solid rock able to flow because of it's plasticity.
D. The Mesosphere is solid rock that remains rigid.
Well first, cons
1.) We can't forecast the timing, so that's a biggie. The prospects of forecasting the timing for earthquakes is quite dim at the moment and not in the foreseable future.
2.)Unless you predict earthquakes 100% of the time then improper forecasting can actually result in fatalities and lifeloss.
3.)If we could predict earthquakes, there would be some huge societal implications. For instance Hurricane Katrina was predicted several days out but that didn't result in a wholly successful evacuation of New Orleans which was biased against the poor.
4.)Accurate forecasting would not change the need for preparedness and good building codes. The ground is still going to shake, buildings still need to resist lateral seismic forces, people still need to be prepared for not having gas, water, telecom, electricity, for a certain amount of time.
And pros,
It would relieve some peoples anxiety about "when the big one" is going to hit. But then that would turn into "how big is the big one" anxiety.
The questions you ask can be considered similar to "what are the pros and cons of forecasting when each of us will die". It doesn't change the fact, just what and how we worry about it.
Algae and plants lived in shallow seas millions years ago .After dying and sinking to the seafloor, the organic material mixed with other sediments and was buried .Over millions of years under high pressure and high temperature, the remains of these organisms transformed into what we know today as fossil fuels. Coal, natural gas, and petroleum are all fossil fuels that formed under similar conditions.
hope it helps
