olganol [36]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A  mercury barometer is a device use to measure stomspheric pressure and is constructed as following:

  • A mercury barometer requires a tube which has one close end, and one open end.
  • Tube is placed upside down in a beaker in such a way so that one end open in the beaker and the other remain outside of the beaker.
  • The barometric liquid (mercury) is then filled in the tube by pouring mercury liquid in the beaker.

The position of tube creates vacuum between the closed end of the tube and liquid surface and the Mercury has high density that is why used as the liquid to measure pressure.

Which location, 23 degrees or 48 degrees would experience the same earthquake at stronger intensity?Explain why.​
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

48 degress

Explanation:

An earthquake causes many different intensities of shaking in the area of the epicenter where it occurs. So the intensity of an earthquake will vary depending on where you are. Sometimes earthquakes are referred to by the maximum intensity they produce. In the United States, we use the Modified Mercalli Scale. Earthquake intensity is a ranking based on the observed effects of an earthquake in each particular place. Therefore, each earthquake produces a range of intensity values, ranging from highest in the epicenter area to zero at a distance from the epicenter.
