Geography
1 answer:
vekshin13 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Tectonic Earthquakes

Earthquakes caused by plate tectonics are called tectonic quakes. They account for most earthquakes worldwide and usually occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Plate tectonics

Induced Earthquakes

Induced quakes are caused by human activity, like tunnel construction, filling reservoirs and implementing geothermal or fracking projects.

Volcanic Earthquakes

Volcanic quakes are associated with active volcanism. They are generally not as powerful as tectonic quakes and often occur relatively near the surface. Consequently, they are usually only felt in the vicinity of the hypocentre.

Collapse Earthquakes

Collapse quakes can be triggered by such phenomena as cave-ins, mostly in karst areas or close to mining facilities, as a result of subsidence.

How is Earth’s structure related to the creation of continents, oceans, and mountain ranges?
tigry1 [53]
The topmost layer of the earth (aside from the atmospher) would be the crust. It is made up of tectonic plates that move in different directions. The collisons and abrasions made by these plates sliding and crashing into each other means that mountain ranges pop up like wrinkles, and continents can move around over time. This happens over millions of years.

What are the three types of economies
Mkey [24]

[ Answer ]

1 - Command Economies

2 - Market Economies

3 - Tradition Economies

[ Explanation ]

Command Economies:

This is where production, investment and prices are all controlled and determined by the government. Command Economies are not controlled by free market. The Government decides how much a product should cost and what price they should be put for sale as.

Market Economies:

This is where the product prices and value are determined by the product keeper and/or seller. The seller decides how much they want to sell it for, not the Government. This also comes with supply and demand. Prices can increase or decrease as the seller wishes.

Tradition Economies:

This is where the economy relies on customs and history. They go by what has been done in the past and what has worked out before. Traditional Economies depend on farming, agriculture, fishing, and natural sources.

Someone has some geography notes or summaries about Italy ? Thanks to everyone​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Hi again! Here are my notes on Italy from my geography class last year:

<em>Geography of Italy</em>

Italy is a boot-shaped country to the south of the nations of France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Sharing a Mediterranean culture with the Greeks, the Romans built on and borrowed from the Greek advances in civilization. Rome was the capital of what would become a far-reaching empire that would spread these ideas around the known world 1500-2000 years ago. Ideas like trial by jury, judges, plaintiffs, and defendants in court systems came from Rome. Engineering of architecture, roads, aqueducts, Roman baths, and the formation of the Catholic religion all came from the Roman culture. Art, music, literature, and the sciences were all made more sound by the Renaissance, which started in Rome and influenced the world. Along with Greece, Italy is part of the European Union, and its economy is based on textiles and industrial products.
