Answer:

Explanation:

  • It was 8 am when an earthquake of magnitude 9.1 largest on record ripped of the fault line of the Indian ocean.Discharging a massive large column of water to the shores. It was the deadliest on record as it took 230,000 lives in just a few hours.
  • After which the deadly waves traveled to Thailand with a 500 mph speed and crossed the Indian ocean with a death toll of 5,400 civilians and 2,000 foreign tourists.  As there were large faults and the earthquake rapture the 900-mile long stretch Indian and Australian plate boundary and the oceanic floor was forced upwards.
  • The occurrence of the earthquake and the large scale destruction of life and property clearly shows the lack of awareness of people and lack of information system to track on the natural disaster.

igomit [66]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

Do take my word with a grain of salt because I'm in high school, but this seems like a good question to me. I believe C and D because the dead fish could be bias against the fishing industry. Fishing isn't always catch and kill and someone who is less knowledgeable or specifically biased against fishing/hunting wouldn't know that there is also catch and release; and the incomes in a state are very hard to average. Take the state of Colorado for example. Denver is a fairly rich city and the average income is likely to be 5 - 6 figures while the front range and many small towns south of Denver are some of the poorest towns in the country, leaving them out of the average. I could be wrong, but I'm fairly sure I'm not.

this sets up a pressure gradient between tropics and the ITCZ, which causes surface air to flow from the _____ toward the ______
Trava [24]

Answer:

<u>Lower latitudes to higher latitudes i.e low pressure to high pressure.</u>

Explanation:

  • As the pressure gradient is a force that is derived from the lower latitude to the upper latitudes in the form of pressure systems and the winds belts that arise from ITCZ zone thus there is an upwelling of warm and hot air from this region and goes upwards to the polar regions and in between from a convective cycle.
  • There is a characteristic of this zone in the form of a vigorous thunderstorm over large bodies of the ocean. All this heating is derived due to the sun's rays fall directly over the equator.
  • ITCZ being the doldrum zone or zone of calms sets the surface air to fly pass creating a frontal situation of the hot and cold air mass to interact and create eddies in the oceans.
