Answer: b. comparing the arrival times of the P-and S-waves.

Explanation: The epicenter of earthquakes is the location where the earthquake starts in the earth crust. To calculate the distance to the epicenter of an earthquake, you need to compare the arrival times of the P waves and the S waves. On a seismograph, a line is equivalent to 1 minute but it depends on the scale used.

Determine the magnitude of the earthquake by plotting the distance and amplitude on a chart and joining the two points.

Triangulation is then used to locate the epicenter. Three circles with a radius of the magnitude are drawn around the affected parts. The epicenter is the point where these circles meet.

What makes the great barrier reef special?
Kryger [21]

The Great Barrier Reef is special because it is by far the largest reef in the world. It is consisted of around 2,900 individual reefs. The size of this reef is approximately as the size of Germany. There are over 900 islands that are stretched over 2,600 km along the the reef. The Great Barrier Reef is so marking and big, that even though it is below water it can actually be seen from space. The ecological importance of this reef is enormous as it is a home for thousands of species, with approximately 10% of all fish species in the world living in it. Because of its beauty and numerous attractions, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most visited tourist destinations, and the Australian economy manages to generate between 5 and 6 billion Australian Dollars annually from it. Unfortunately, all of the human activity has been affecting this reef very negatively, and little by little part of it is dying out.

For which of the following problems would growing and maintaining cover crops be an appropriate solution? (2 points)
algol13

Answer: I and II only

Explanation:

Cover crops are planted in order to protect the soil when the main cash crop is not being planted which means that they are not planted to be harvested and can be planted after the cash crop is harvested.

The two main purposes of cash crops are to protect the soil from erosion and to improve soil fertility. Their presence reduces surface runoff of soil when it rains and slows down rain before it hits the ground at force and splits soil.

Some cover crops are planted to improve soil fertility because they improve the level of nutrients in the soil and they can also be ploughed before they mature causing them to decay and add organic matter to the soil.
