To find the epicenter (the point on the earth's surface where an earthquake begins) during earthquakes, one need to view the seismogram (a record of the ground motion), and at least two other seismographs recorded for the same earthquake. Other instruments such as a map, a compass for sketching circles on the map, a ruler, and a pencil will also be used.
The following are the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter during earthquakes:
Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.
Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.
Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.
Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.
Answer: Volcano
Explanation:
The Great Rift Valley is the site of major geological activity that stretches from Mozambique to the Middle East. Scientists believe that Africa and the Arabian Peninsula were joined together before they were separated by a process called rifting.
As the Earths tectonic plates begin to tear apart in this region, molten magma emerge from the earth crust to fill the void resulting in a separation.
Geologist estimates that the phenomenon which resulted in the great rift valley started 25 million years ago and gave rise to the Red sea. It is believed that the Indian Ocean flooded into the rift to form the Red Sea.
The.magma that seeps upward to fill crustal voids in the rift valley emerge mainly via volcanoes. Hence, many active and semi-active volcanoes are scattered throughout the region referred to as the Great Rift Valley, including Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro.
Answer:
A process known as subduction
Explanation:
Answer:
1km
Explanation:
A scale of 1:25,000 means that 1 meter on the map equals 25,000 meters on the ground.
So,
Converting 4cm to meter;
4cm/100 = 0.04m
If;
1m = 25,000m
0.04m = ?
25,000 * 0.04 = 1000m
Answer:
195 countries
Explanation:
There are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine.
