Bigger earthquakes occur less frequently, but a bigger quake releases more energy and does more damage. An interesting question

to ask about earthquakes (and about almost anything else!) is whether the increase in energy release and damage done is larger or smaller than the decrease in frequency as one looks at bigger earthquakes. Asked a different way, is most of the damage done by the many little earthquakes or by the few big earthquakes?
A) Most of the damage is done by the many, little earthquakes.
B) Earthquakes only damage Coke machines, under an exclusive contract with Pepsi.
C) Most of the damage is done by the few, big earthquakes.
D) Earthquakes don't do any damage, so this is a silly question.
E) The drop-off in frequency just balances the rise in energy, so all earthquake sizes contribute equally to global earthquake damages

Answer:

C) Most of the damage is done by the few, big earthquakes.

Explanation:

As the text indicates, bigger earthquakes, which take place less frequently than smaller earthquakes, are the ones that cause the most damage because they liberate way more energy. Smaller earthquakes are a more common phenomenon, but they implicate less release of energy and thus less damage.

Explain how the earth's axis and revolution combine to create seasonal climate variations.
Levart [38]

Answer:

All of us know that the earth is rotating continuously in its orbit. But we dont realize the rotation due to gravitational force. The earth rotates in its own axis this causes day and night . While rotating on its axis, earth also rotates around elliptical axis around the sun which causes the different regions to experience different seasons. The side facing the sun experience summer and other side experience winter.
