Geography
2 answers:
jeka57 [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Japan is situated in a volcanic zone on the Pacific Ring of Fire. Most of the earthquakes following that occurred in Japan happened because of a destructive plate boundary. This is when continental and oceanic plates collide and the heavier, more dense oceanic plate sinks underneath the continental one.

Earthquakes are most common at tectonic plate boundaries where different plates meet called fault line. They were thought to not occur anywhere but near plate boundaries.

3. Explain “Sediment Budget”.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:  When the amount of sediments that are added to a coast and the amount of sediments removed from the coast are in equilibrium, then this equilibrium state is known as the sediment budget.

These sediments in the coastal areas are added by the ocean currents frequently striking at the base of a cliff, and also by the longshore current,and rivers that deposits the materials at the shore.

whereas, the materials are removed from the beach by the erosional processes, in which the longshore currents trnsports the sediments from the beach to the offshore.

Why does mars have more extreme seasons than earth?
xeze [42]

Answer:

This large variation, combined with an axial tilt slightly greater than Earth's, gives rise to seasonal changes far greater than we experience here on Earth. On Mars, dramatic dust storms are common due to solar heat, which warms the Martian atmosphere and causes its air to move rapidly, lifting dust off the ground.

7. How might the fleeing of so many refugees impact Syria? (think ESPeN)
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The big number of people fleeing from Syria may have very negative demographic and economic implications for the country.

Explanation:

Syria is a country in war, both with armed forces inside and with armed forces from other countries. The war is going on for quite some time now, and it has led to the devastation of most of the country. Being afraid for their lives and seeing that there wouldn't be good conditions for living in the country for decades to come, millions of people have been on the move.

With millions of people already gone and millions trying to migrate out of the country, Syria will face a very big problem in the future. It is rapidly losing the young and middle aged population, which is the population that is able to have children and it is the population that has the biggest economic contribution. Also, the highly qualified labor force has almost entirely left the country. Apart from the sharp decline in the population, this will also result in a dramatic drop in birthrates, aging population, lack of labor force, brain drain, and the economy will suffer badly, which in turn will result in more people moving out of the country.

  • The tropical areas are those that surround the earth equator and are found 23 degrees north and south. As the sun is usually in direct contact and this region comprise of 40% of the surface area and 35% of the earth's landmass. And remains warm to hot and moist year-round.
  • These regions are characterized by wet season and thus have most of the cyclonic activity through the year and this impacts the global distribution of water as the movement of the warm and cold water stakes form these regions, along with the variation in salinity.
