Answer:

Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andrea Fault. While the heavy earthquakes are found along the inter plate zones.

Explanation:

The worldwide distribution of the earthquakes across the globe is relatively shown by the position of the plates and the various boundaries on earth's surface such as the divergent and convergent and transform faults etc. Earthquakes are common in areas of the ridges and the zones of subduction of plates.

Due to the build-up of the stress these earthquakes are formed from the continental rifting and like those of the great rift valley o the Africa and lake regions of China and Russia. Some earthquakes are found along the spreading segments of ridges where the temperatures of the rock are relatively high.

<u>Earthquakes of Magnitude of 8 or 9 are those found at the great rapture zones and occur at the depth of 400 km, were larger subduction takes place.</u>

Write a paragraph identifying how the Neolithic Revolution led to the establishment of early villages, and give an example. Iden

cestrela7 [59]

The Neolithic revolution was the first agricultural revolution. It was a gradual change from nomadic hunting and gathering communities and bands to agriculture and settlement. This period is described as a "revolution" because it changed the way of life of communities which made the change. It occurred in different prehistoric human societies at different times. Many societies changed 9–7 thousand years ago.

The term refers to the general time period over which these developments took place. It also applies to the changes which took place: the adoption of early farming techniques, crop cultivation, and the domestication of animals. The Neolithic Revolution is important for developments in social organization and technology.

The Neolithic revolution led to living in permanent or semi-permanent settlements. Because of this fewer people led a nomadic lifestyle. To be able to know who the crops grown belonged to, the concept of land ownership was developed. The natural environment was changed, population densities grew, and people ate more vegetable and cereal foods in their diet. Hierarchies developed in society. Grain was stored, and could be traded. Surplus production from good crop yields helped societies survive bad years.
