What was the size of the Krakatau explosion probably the result of?

1 answer:

5 0

The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa (Indonesian: Krakatau ) in the Sunda Strait began on the afternoon of Sunday, 26 August 1883—with origins as early as May of that year—and peaked on the late morning of Monday, 27 August 1883, when over 70% of the island of Krakatoa and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed as it collapsed into a caldera.

Kitakami River region constraints

nalin [4]

Answer:

In March 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake—the fourth largest recorded since 1900—triggered a powerful tsunami that pummeled the northeastern coast of Japan. The earthquake occurred offshore, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) east of Sendai at 2:46 p.m. on March 11. Within 20 minutes, massive swells of water started to inundate the mainland.

The tallest waves and most devastating flooding from the 2011 TÅhoku-oki tsunami occurred along the jagged coast of northern Honshu, a landscape dimpled with bays and coves known as ria coast. The steep, narrow bays of ria coasts trap and focus incoming tsunami waves, creating destructive swells and currents that can push huge volumes of water far inland, particularly along river channels.

That's exactly what happened in the days before the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), an instrument on NASA's Terra satellite, captured the middle image above (on March 14, 2011). It shows severe flooding along the Kitakami River three days after the earthquake struck.

The top image, captured by the Advanced Land Imager on NASA's Earth Observing-1 (EO-1), shows the same scene a year later. And the bottom image, captured by ASTER, shows what the area looked like before the earthquake struck. All three are false-color images that combine infrared, red, and green wavelengths in a way that makes it easy to distinguish between water and land. Vegetation appears red, and fallow fields appear pale brown.

In the image from March 2011 (middle), wide swaths of flood water cover the north and south banks of the river channel, and sediment fills the river's mouth. Some of the most dramatic flooding occurred just to the south of the river, where floodwater washed across large tracts of farmland and the small village of Nagatsura. Notice how far up the river the flooding occurred: Research conducted by scientists at TÅhoku University suggests that waves from the tsunami traveled nearly 50 kilometers (30 miles) upstream from the mouth of the Kitakami River.

One year after the tsunami, floodwaters had subsided, the river was back within its banks, and many of the agricultural fields along the Kitakami were dry again. However, the landscape near the mouth of the river remains irrevocably altered in comparison to how it looked before (bottom image). The farmland immediately north and east of Nagatsura has become river bottom. The width of the river mouth has widened. And water from Oppa Bay has crept inland, leaving only a narrow strip of land and new islands near the river mouth.

See other images from the tsunami—including more imagery from 2012—in our feature slideshow: Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami: Looking Back from Space.

That's is it thank you :]

What connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules?

Katena32 [7]

I believe that the loop of Henle is the hairpin structure that connects the proximal and distal convoluted tubules. The loop of Henle is composed of the ascending and the descending limb. The descending loop of Henle connects the proximal convoluted tube with the ascending limb of the loop of Henle, while the ascending loop of Henle connects the descending limb of the loop of Henle with the distal convoluted tubule.

1.solve for p

Mnenie [13.5K]

<h3>1. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>p =-3/2p</em>

<h3><u>Solution;</u></h3>

To solve for P in the equation;

= 3(p + q ) = p

We open the brackets;

= 3p + 3q = p

Then, we combine the like terms together, we get;

<em> 3p - p = -3q</em>

<em> Therefore; 2p = -3q</em>

<em> hence; p = -3/2q. </em>

<h3>2. <u>Answers</u>;</h3>

<em>b = 19/2</em>

<h3><u>Solution;</u></h3>

To solve for b when the value of a = 3

4a = 2b - 7

we substitute 3 with a in the equation

<em>Then, make b the subject</em>

<h3>3. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>r =d/t</em>

<h3><u><em>Solution;</em></u></h3>

To solve for r

d= rt.

In order to get r, we divide both sides by t

<em>d/t = rt/t</em>

<em>r = d/t</em>

<h3>4. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

<em>Width = 30 units</em>

<h3><u>Solution;</u></h3>

The width of a rectangle with a given perimeter of 90 and length is 15.

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by;

Perimeter= 2(Length + Width)

Thus;<em> Perimeter = 90 , length=15 </em>

<em> 90 = 2 (W + 15)</em>

<em>Dividing both sides by 2,</em>

<em>45 = w + 15 </em>

<em>Subtracting from both sides;</em>

<em>W = 45 -15 </em>

<em>W = 30 </em>

Therefore,<em><u> the width of the rectangle is 30 units</u></em>
