What inferences can we make regarding earthquake magnitude, frequency, or concentration​

Geography

Answer:

An earthquake is what happens when two blocks of the earth suddenly slip past one another. The surface where they slip is called the fault or fault plane. The location below the earth’s surface where the earthquake starts is called the hypocenter, and the location directly above it on the surface of the earth is called the epicenter.

Sometimes an earthquake has foreshocks. These are smaller earthquakes that happen in the same place as the larger earthquake that follows. Scientists can’t tell that an earthquake is a foreshock until the larger earthquake happens. The largest, main earthquake is called the mainshock. Mainshocks always have aftershocks that follow. These are smaller earthquakes that occur afterwards in the same place as the mainshock. Depending on the size of the mainshock, aftershocks can continue for weeks, months, and even years after the mainshock!

How is Earth's surface most likely to change as water freezes and expands on a mountain side over time?
KengaRu [80]

The surface of the Earth, or more specifically the mountain side that has been covered with ice that over time will expand more and more, will change in shape significantly over longer period of time.

The change will be manifested in the mountain side becoming very steep, sharp, pointy, looking, and that will be due to the erosion caused by the ice on it, which essentially will a glacial erosion, since that ice will be a glacier on the mountain side.

The change in the landscape will be seen only after the glacier melts and uncovers its effect, but while the mountain side is covered with it, it will not be easy to witness the change.

What are the three main regions of continental margins
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

i.

The passive continental margins are formed under divergent plate boundary setting. These are aseismic (less seismic) and often referred as the Atlantic-type margins having a distinct transition zone between the continental and oceanic crustal regions.

ii.

The active continental margins referred as the Pacific-type margins are the zones of seismically active convergent plate boundaries. These are characterized by subduction zones formed under variety of settings such as oceanic–oceanic, oceanic–continental, etc. and are mostly observed along the periphery of the Pacific Ocean.

iii.

Transform continental margins (sheared margins) are formed due to lateral plate movements or shearing motions during the continental breakup process in the divergent margin setting. Identifying this category of margins is also in a way important, as they represent an original offset in the line of continental breakup and can normally be traced laterally into an oceanic fracture zone (Bird, 2001). Further, transform margins are also noticed along the Pacific type continental margins.
