Earthquakes occur when rocks under the ground breaks along a fault. When this happens, it causes the ground to shake; an earthquake.

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes the seismic waves that make the ground shake. When two blocks of rock or two plates are rubbing against each other, they stick a little. They don't just slide smoothly; the rocks catch on each other. The rocks are still pushing against each other, but not moving. After a while, the rocks break because of all the pressure that's built up. When the rocks break, the earthquake occurs. During the earthquake and afterward, the plates or blocks of rock start moving, and they continue to move until they get stuck again. The spot underground where the rock breaks is called the focus of the earthquake. The place right above the focus (on top of the ground) is called the epicenter of the earthquake.

Which natural resource is most available in Central American and Caribbean
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Rainforest timber is the most available natural resources in Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.

Explanation:

Central America, the Caribbean, and South America are all dominated by tropical climate types, with some exceptions here and there. Pretty much all of Central America and the Caribbean have tropical wet climate, so naturally, they are covered with tropical rainforests South America is more diverse, but on the other hand, it has the largest rainforest in the plant, the Amazon.

This leads to the countries of these regions to have an abundance of rainforest timber at disposal. Some countries have decided to largely leave the rainforests as they are and protect them while some have decided to exploit them on a large scale. There is an abundance of tree species in these regions, a lot of which are of high quality and in high demand on the global market, and a lot of countries have used this to boost their economy. Unfortunately, this has resulted in large-scale deforestation in some areas.

How did imigration and weastern expansion impact the geographic patterns in the united states
Molodets [167]

Answer:

Westward expansion meant that the US acquired ever increasing amounts of land, and needed people, farmers, to settle there so it could maintained without a huge military presence.  This led to massive immigration in the second half of the 19th century, as mostly Europeans came here seeking to finally have their own land.

It also added vast resources to the United States, both in terms of potential agricultural production and things like gold, silver and timber.

It stimulated the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad, and added new states to the country.

It further aggravated the divide between north and south, and accelerated the onset of the Civil War.
