Answer:

The amount of the energy released at earthquake source.

Explanation:

Earthquakes are measured in two different ways.

  • Based on magnitude which is the amount of the energy released at earthquake source.
  • Based on intensity which is the quantification of how much of the ground shakes at the location.

Measurements on moment magnitude scale are determined using complex mathematical formula to convert the motion recorded with seismometer into the number which represents amount of energy released during earthquake.

List 3 categories of properties used to classify solids.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer : Broadly solids are divided into three categories;

i) Crystalline solids have a regular definite structure, in which the particles pack in a repeating pattern from one edge of the solid to the other.

ii) Amorphous solids have a random structure, with little unorganized pattern long-range order.

iii) Polycrystalline solids are those where an aggregate which consists of a large number of small crystals or grains in which the structure is regular, but the crystals or grains are found to be arranged in a random fashion.

Also solids can be divided into 3 more categories according to their bonds;

i) Covalent solids, like diamond, which forms crystals that can be viewed as a single giant molecule made up of an almost endless number of covalent bonds.

ii) Ionic solids are basically salts, such as NaCl, in which the molecules are held together by the strong force of attraction between ions of opposite charge.

iii) Metallic solids are found in metals which have the force of attraction between atoms of metals, such as copper and aluminum, or alloys, such as brass and bronze, are metallic bonds.

Why Are aquifers important to our freshwater supply? 5TH GRADE ANSWER c:
ANEK [815]

Explanation:

Aquifers are porous and permeable formations that stores ground water. The ground water system is made up of mostly fresh water.

  • An aquifer acts as a reserve for ground water in the environment.
  • By passing through different formations, water that recharges them are purified.
  • This makes them fresh and mostly free from salt intrusion

An aquifer is able to store this fresh water and it is is good prospect for sourcing ground water.
