Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earthquake refers to the sudden shaking of the earth that occurs due to the release of energy during the seismic wave propagation through the interior of the earth. The point from which the earthquake arises is termed as the focus. The focus of an earthquake is also considered as the hypocenter. And the point that is directly above the focus (hypocenter) is known as the epicenter.

Similarly, this focus and the epicenter also occurs in a region where there is a presence of a fault, that results in earthquakes of various magnitudes. This means that the point that is directly above the start of the fault slippage is also known as the epicenter.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

love history [14]

Answer: The answer should be A: Precipitation.

Explanation: When we take a look at this question, it mentions that there is dew, fog, and clouds on the planet. Infiltration would have probably been evaporated from the ground and became a cloud. The dew and fog would be the condensation. The astronomers notice that there is never any rainfall, and precipitation in the water cycle is rainfall. So therefore, the missing part of the water cycle would be precipitation

The fertility rate of 2.1, with which populations are expected to eventually stabilize, is known as
damaskus [11]
The fertility rate of 2.1 with which populations are expected to eventually stabilize is known as the long-term replacement rate. In other words, if a nation maintains a fertility rate of 2.1 over a long period of time the population of that nation will eventually stabilize and it will neither grow nor shrink. Immigration allows the people to grow faster than the fertility rate would suggest. Also because of past growth, the population is younger than it would otherwise be. This means that there are more potential mothers and fathers. Only after its residents age can the population of a country stabilize.
