The correct answer is - The coast of Mexico is on the edge of two tectonic plates, which results in frequent earthquakes.

Mexico is located on a geologically very active place. From both the eastern and western side, there are borders between tectonic plates, which contributes to the creation of lots of earthquakes, as well as volcanic activity. Because Mexico is not very wide in east-west manner, when an earthquake strikes on the shores, or further mainland, it is felt from one shore to the other, and Mexico City is in the middle of it all, thus it is very often affected by earthquakes.

PLEASE HELP !!!!! Explain the relationship between the mass of the star and it’s life span ?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The stars mass (once it becomes a star) is inversely proportional to its lifetime as a main sequence star. A red dwarf can survive for many billions of years; a star that has twice the mass of the Sun, such as Sirius A, will have 25% of the Suns lifetime.

Hope this helps :)

What are 3 examples of actions undertaken in Japan in response to the earthquake and tsunami?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

In the aftermath of the nuclear crisis in Japan, the country engaged in a massive cleanup. It cleared tons of debris, rebuilt roadways and bridges, and demolished and cleared out damaged buildings. In the future, plans should be in place for organizing citizens in cleanup efforts, making the streets safe during cleanup, and safely disposing of debris.

In addition, public transportation and airports need to function as soon as possible after such an event. Therefore, government staff should develop disaster-recovery plans for the most vital transportation systems. Local governments also need to provide short-term and longer-term housing for those who lose their homes. Designated shelters, such as schools or other community buildings, should be made ready for this purpose. Governments also need to help people get insurance payments, loans for rebuilding, and sound advice for where to locate new homes and how to strengthen them.
