You are watching TV with a friend when there is a special bulletin about a city in California being devastated by an earthquake.

The news anchor reports that the epicenter of the earthquake is 45 miles east of Los Angeles. How would you explain the definition of the epicenter to your biologically impaired friend?

8 0

Answer:

The epicenter to a biologically impaired person is simply, the point where the devastation is much. The point where the earthquake originates.

Explanation:

I will further explain thus, between California and Los Angeles is about 50  miles apart. That is about 190 towns in between. So, whatever devastation we feel hear, will be triple what they will feel at the epicenter. Epicenter is where the damages to structures and environment are most.

I can go further to use what happens bomb exploxion to further drive home the meaning. If there is a bomb {grenade} explosion, the point where the explosion occurs has more devastation than areas about 100 meters away.

How does ocean currents affect the climate of a continent?
Aleks [24]
The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.

is the census a good way to gather demographic information about a place or country? explain why or why not.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

it is a good way

Explanation:

It is a good way to gather demographic information because it's very accurate. Censucount.org says that "The Census Bureau reported a net national overcount of 0.01% in 2010" which means they are only off by a little, but still effective. THe demographic information is then used to decide where to distribute the funds and taxes for schools, public areas, supermarkets, etc.
