I would say that igneous rock, because when it is fresh and unaltered can be quite tough to withstand shock would be a better construction material. From experience I believe that the large tightly fitting stones of the Inca fortresses were mostly constructed from igneous rock and it usually stands up well in earthquakes in Peru,

Answer:

The correct answer is igneous rock.

The igneous rocks, in general are made up of the solidified magma. These rocks are made up of a strong solidified magma, which cools over the time and form a continuous massive structure. The sedimentary rocks are made up different rocks, which are combined under the pressure. During the stress of the earthquake, the sedimentary rock can break more easily as they are loosely packed than the igneous rocks, whereas, the igneous rock remain solid and shear less easily.

South of London is an example of absolute location.<br><br> Question 1 options:<br> True<br> False
miss Akunina [59]

<u>Answer:</u>

The statement 'south of London' is an example of 'absolute location' is false.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • A location can be said to be an absolute location when it is defined with exact longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates.
  • For instance, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London can be said to be an example of 'absolute location' because its location can be pinpointed with the help of longitudes and latitudes.
  • When we say south of London, it can be the entire area that falls south of London, which cannot be an example of an 'absolute location'.

What could be the effects of polluting the water in a small mountain stream​
marshall27 [118]

Answer: Water pollution can have disastrous effects on the environment.

Explanation:

  • Pollution in the water can reach a point where there isn't enough oxygen in the water for the fish to breathe. The fish can suffocate and not have enough air.
  • Pollution affects the entire food chain. Small fishes absorb pollutants, such as chemicals, into their bodies. Bigger fishes eat the smaller fishes and get the pollutants as well. Birds or other animals may eat the bigger fishes and be harmed by the pollutants. One example of this was the use of the insecticide (bug killer) DDT, which is when birds of prey ate fishes that were infected with it, they would lay eggs with thin shells. The population of birds of prey began to drop until DDT was banished.
  • Sewage causes major problems in rivers. Bacteria in the water will use oxygen to break down the sewage. If there is too much sewage, the bacteria could use up oxygen until there won't be enough left for the fish.
  • Water pollution from major events like acid rain or oil spills can completely destroy marine habitats.
  • One of the most important commodities for life on planet Earth is clean water. For over 1 billion people on the planet, clean water is nearly impossible to get. Dirty, polluted water can make them sick enough to die.
