Allisa [31]3 years ago
3 0

The further from the trench an earthquake's epicenter is, the deeper it is - assuming the earthquake is related to a plate being subducted.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The depressions that are very long and narrower and that exists on the  seafloor refers to the Ocean trench. Theses are found on the deepest parts of the ocean. They encapsulate the regions that are prone of volcanic eruptions and also zones of earthquake.

The subductions that are caused in the plates are the ocean trench. These are formed due to the tectonic activity. These are caused mainly due to the movement of the lithosphere of Earth. The process of subduction that results in the trench formation that causes the lithosphere that has high density to move below the lithosphere of lower density.

What is the current trade deal between canada, us, and mexico?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

The current trade deal between Canada, the US, and Mexico is USMCA.

Explanation:

The United States, Canada, and Mexico are the three countries that comprise North America. They are all large countries with strong economies, and even though Mexico is still a developing country its economy is very strong. In order to make things easier for each other, everyone to have a benefit, and make the region a global economic player as a unit, a trade deal was concluded a few decades ago, NAFTA.

While NAFTA was in place for several decades, the current administrations of the countries decided to review it and improve so that all member countries can have an even greater benefit. The new and improved deal set in place is USMCA. Like NAFTA, USMCA is a free trade agreement, but it has been made in a manner that economic freedom is even greater between the countries, while also making the region a type of economic union to counter and prevent the Chinese growing influence.

Which of the following has been a negative effect of industrialization in china?
ella [17]
Sharp reduction in agricultural land has been the negative effect of industrialization in China. This scenario occurs because the development of cities to accommodate high population will give way to more lands that will be used for innovations instead for agriculture/food production. This does not only happen in China but also in other parts of the world where the fast increase in their economic growth is going on a fast rate but there are not enough places to accommodate this specific growth. 

As a result, lands that are supposed to be for agriculture are maximized by city construction which in the long term might lead to societal hunger.
