Answer:

C. shallow and occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust, even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths.

Explanation:

Earthquakes in California usually occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust. This is the case even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths. The San Andreas fault extends roughly 1,200 kilometers through California, and it forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. It is believed that there is significant risk of a major earthquake (greater than 7.0) along this fault, particularly in the southern section of the fault, which is the region along Los Angeles.

lara [203]

Answer:B. Intensity

Explanation:

The Intensity of an earth quake refers to the noticeable and severity effects of damage on man made structures, natural(crops and livestock) and human life at different locations. To measure the intensity of an earthquake, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used and consists  of 12  levels of intensity(in roman numerals) that  rank the extent of damage based on observable effects with the higher levels based  on structural damage.  

A Level I -V1 Intensity on the scale will show slight damages to properties and treatable injuries to people, but going higher on the scale above VI  shows total damage and destruction to structures and human life.

How did the growth rate of modern Seoul compared with the growth rate of new York or Chicago since the 19th century?
arlik [135]

The correct answer is - A. Seoul grew much more rapidly.

Even though both New York and Chicago has had relatively quick growth rate since the 19th century, they can not match the tempo of growth rate of modern Seoul. After the end of the World War II, Seoul's population skyrocketed. Prior to the war, the city had walls around it, and the space for living was not changing, thus the population was relatively stable and with the same size. After the war though, the removed walls, foreign influence, and more open attitude, led to dramatic growth rate of the city. From being a city that had bellow one million citizens, Seoul grew to have almost 10 million people nowadays, and that has happened in a period of only around 70 years.
