Geography

storchak [24]4 years ago

Answer:

a) An earthquake's focus is beneath the earthquake's epicenter

Explanation:

The earthquakes occur as a result of the adjustments that happen deep below the surface, where the crust cracks under the enormous pressure, and the gaps opened up from it are filled with other rocks. When that happens, the amount of energy that is released is enormous, casing strong vibrations that manage to reach the surface as well as cause a lot of damage. The place where the earthquake appears is called focus of the earthquake, and it is located deep below the surface. The place above it in a vertical straight line on the surface is called the epicenter. The vibrations spread around in concentric circles, being most intense near the place of origin, and weakening as they move further.

the balance of forces between internal pressures under continents and those under ocean basins is called .
slava [35]

The balance of forces between internal pressures under continents and those under ocean basins is called the isostasy.

<h3>What is an isostasy?</h3>

It should be noted that an isostasy is the state of gravitational equilibrium that's between the Earth crust and the mantle.

According to the isostasy theory, a mass above sea level is supported by a mass below sea level, and as a result, the depth of compensation is the depth at which the Earth's total weight per unit area is equal everywhere around.

In this case, isostasy is the balance of forces between internal pressures under continents and those under ocean basins.

Therefore, based on the information, the answer is isostasy.

How many countries separate north korea and finland?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

One

Explanation:

Even though Finland and North Korea are thousands of kilometers away from each other, with Finland being in Northern Europe, and North Korea in East Asia, there's only one country between them. The only country that separates these two countries is the largest in the world Russia. Finland of course borders the European, much more developed part of Russia, while North Korea borders the eastern part of Asian Russia, practically Siberia, which is much less developed. These countries are totally different from one another in every aspect, be it politically, socially, economically, geographically, climate etc.
