The correct answers are;  

9) Richter scale

10) Seismograph

11) measurement of the amplitude of the largest seismic wave

The Richter scale is a scale of numbers that is commonly used by scientists to measure the size (magnitude) of earthquakes. To determine the size of an earthquake using this scale, the logarithm of the amplitude of the largest seismic wave is adjusted to a scale by a seismometer.

Seismograph is the instrument that records the seismic waves of an earthquake. A seismograph automatically detects and records the direction, intensity and duration of earthquakes. Seismograph is made up of a mass that is joined to a fixed base.

One of the ways that food can be preserved is by heavily salting it so that bacteria cannot live upon the food. What causes the
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Dehydration

Explanation:

What causes bacteria to die in an extremely salty environment is dehydration due to the loss of osmotic balance in their cells.

Water molecules would normally move from the region of high water potential or low solute concentration to the region of low water potential or high solute concentration through a biologically permeable membrane.

<em>An extremely salty environment would be hypertonic to the cells of bacteria and the cell walls of bacteria act as biologically permeable membranes. Hence, the bacteria cells lose water due to the osmotic movement of water from their cells to the surrounding salty environment. </em>

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

b. where movement occurs through arm-over-arm swinging.

Explanation:

Brachiation is a form of locomotion observed in some species of animal that are adapted to arboreal (tree living) life.

<em>This type of locomotion involves the swinging of arms and the suspension of the body to move from trees to trees.</em>

Animals that exhibit brachiation usually have modified body structure with long forelimbs/hook-like fingers and a highly mobile shoulder joints. Examples of such animals include gibbons and siamangs.

The correct option is b.
