Why do you think certain regions are more prone to experience earthquakes?

Answer: Certain regions sit on top of or closer to faults in the earth. So as the plates shift places on top of and around it get earthquakes.

Answer:

Think of it like two wooden benches rubbing against each other. Extend this example to continental plates. The friction and sudden release of stored elastic energy leads to earthquakes.

but you hella cute...u tryna link?

Volcanically active places are also prone to earthquakes as the Hawaiian Islands are. This happens mostly due to the movement of superheated magma and gases moving under the crust in such places.

Places far from such tectonic settings are therefore much more stable and are seldom associated with earthquakes. But that does not necessarily mean they will never be associated with quakes sometime in the future. New faults may develop and change the scenario.

Calculate and compare the albedo temperature of Mars to Venus. Then compare the two albedo temperatures the planet’s albedo temp
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The albedo temperature for Mars and Venus are 210K and 184 K respectively.Mars albedo temperature is closer to its black body temperature such that the Venus has more albedo.Thus there is a chance that Mars would have had life in their history.

Explanation:

The albedo temperature is given as

Te =\left [\dfrac{L(1-a)}{ (16\pi \sigma D^2}\right]^{1/4}

Here

L = Solar luminosity = 3.846*1026 W m-2 K-4

D = distance from Sun

σ = the Stefan-Boltzman constant = 5.6704 * 10-8 W

a is the albedo constant whose value for Mars is  0.250 while for  Venus it is 0.900

So the albedo temperature is given as

Venus: 184 K

Mars: 210 K

The black body temperature is given as

Te =\left [\dfrac{L}{ (16\pi \sigma D^2}\right]^{1/4}

By substitution of the values, the black body temperature for Venus and Mars are as

Venus: 327 K

Mars: 225 K

Mars albedo temperature is closer to its black body temperature such that the Venus has more albedo.

Thus there is a chance that Mars would have had life in their history.

Question 2 (3.3333 points)
Akimi4 [234]

The correct answer is 4) They have ring systems.

Explanation:

Jovial planets are also known as Giant planets, they include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, these planets are classified as Giant planets because they are massive although they are composed mainly of gas and light materials. Additionally, most of this planets have one or more moons and all of them have ring systems which are rings made of particles, dust, debris, ice and other materials that are placed around the planet and orbit it, although only the ring system of Saturn is visible and because of this it is the best known. Thus, the statement that describes Jovian planets is "They have ring systems".

How much warning time did residents of Sumatra have before the 2004 tsunami hit land?
Katarina [22]
Sad to say, the warning time that the residents of Sumatra had before the 2004 tsunami hit land was close from little to none. A rough estimation would around 15 - 30 minutes. They say that the primary cause would be that there wasn't any warning systems over the Indian Ocean at that time. Another thing, which is what most people who knew about it would point out as the real problem, is that there was no issuance of a warning in the first place. The quake was detected an hour or so before the tsunami occurred in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre located in Ewo, Hawaii. At that moment, the information was relayed to Australia and to the rest of the world. The question wasn't why the Centre didn't issue a warning, but why the whole world network of information didn't issue one. They say that other sophisticated data were available at that time and almost immediately since the tsunami was active.
