How do you locate an epicenter of an earthquake?

1 answer:

4 0

Scientists called geologists use seismometers to calculate the exact location of the epicentre of an earthquake. If the speed of the waves are known from the quake, the time can be recorded that they reach multiple places. By using speed x time = distance , they can calculate the exact location of the epicentre as long as they have 3 or more recording stations. it works on the same principle as GPS

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

해파리 (cnidarians) have a worldwide distribution. Despite most being harmless, some species may cause local and also systemic reactions. 처치 of 해파리 envenomation is directed at: alleviating the local effects of venom, preventing further nematocyst discharges and controlling systemic reactions, including shock. In severe cases, the most important step is stabilizing and maintaining vital functions. With some 차이점 between species, there seems to be evidence and consensus on oral/topical analgesics, hot water and ice packs as effective painkillers and on 30 s application of domestic vinegar (4%–6% acetic acid) to prevent further discharge of unfired nematocysts remaining on the skin. Conversely, alcohol, methylated spirits and fresh water should be 조심스럽게 avoided, since they could massively discharge nematocysts; pressure immobilization bandaging should also be avoided, as laboratory studies show that it stimulates additional venom discharge from nematocysts. Most 처치 approaches are presently founded on 상대적으로 weak evidence; therefore, further research (especially randomized clinical trials) is strongly recommended. Dissemination of appropriate 처치 modalities should be deployed to better inform and educate those at risk. Adequate signage should be placed at 바닷가 to notify tourists of the jellyfish risk. Swimmers in risky areas should wear 보호 장비.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: AUG GU UGG AAU

Explanation: Since it's a point mutation which only effects single nucleotide; so in CGA codon, the second codon, deletion mutation has been occured while mRna strand is going to be synthesized, this has shortened the length of the resulting protein developed from these codons.

Since RNA contains uracil instead of thymine, so in place of thymine (T), uracil has been placed.

Please help me?? I need help labeling the graph using the word bank

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oceanic Plate
Subduction Zone
Convection Currents
Asthenosphere
Continental Plate

The Oceanic Plate is located near the ocean ridge. Which represents where magma creates new oceanic crust.

The Subduction Zone is where the tectonic plates meet. These are called plate boundaries.

Convection Currents are what drives the movement of rigid tectonic plates in Earth's molten mantle.

The Asthenosphere is the upper layer of the mantle. Which is below the lithosphere (Continental Plates).

Continental Plates are the outer shell of the mantle.

Let me know if this helps!
