Answer:

b. it is probably about to erupt

Explanation:

An earthquake can cause shock between underground tectonic plates, volcano eruption or gas displacement inside planet Earth (rarer situation). In an earthquake there are fault openings on the earth's surface and landslides.

Tremors caused by volcanism may be strong, but are located in areas near volcanoes. They occur due to some rupture or internal eruption of the magma or gases trapped under high pressure. Its effects are not usually felt over long distances.

The worldwide use of cleaner energy sources could result in what?Which one is it?a rise in ocean levelsa reduction in acid rain
sammy [17]


The best answer is reduction in acid rain.

Acid rain is rainfall which has been rendered acidic by pollutants  in the atmosphere.  This kind of rain is typically harmful to  forests and lakes.

The main cause of acid rain is human activities. The burning of fossil fuels such coal in electrical generating plants and crude oil products such as gasoline and diesel in car engine  releases  sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere.

These compounds mix with water very high up in the atmosphere and form acid pollutants which  fall on the ground as acid rain.

 Use of clean energy will eliminate burning of fossil fuels and thus no acid rain will be produced.

James wants to draw a line diagonally across a rectangular piece of paper. If the paper measures 9 inches by 12 inches, what is
sattari [20]

Answer:

15 inches

Explanation:

James needs to use the Pythagoras theorem, which states that in a right-angle triangle, the sum of the squares of the other two sides is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

c²=a²+b²

we know that a is 9 inches and that be is 12 inches

c²= (9)²+(12)²

c²= 81+144

c²=225

c=√225

c=15

after applying the measures to the Pythagoras theorem formula,

we found out that the length of the straight-edge needs to be 15 inches

You want to determine if one peak is steeper than another peak, based on a topographic map. What would you see on the steeper pe
victus00 [196]
Contour lines determine the steepness of the land by how close they are together. Generally, contour lines rise to a particular scale (e.g. a line for every ten metres), therefore, if the contour lines are closer together then the height of that particular area has risen more steeply than if the contour lines are further apart where the steepness has increased more gradually.
