Both C and D answers show uncorrect statements about the 2010 Haiti earthquake.

Answer C states that the quake registered at 7.8 on the Richter scale, but that's not true. The earthquake occurred inland on January 12, 2010, approximately 15 km southwest of Port-au-Prince and at a depth of 10 km at 16:53 local time. It recorded 7.0 on the Richter scale.

Answer D affirms that the death toll was less than 1,000, but this is also incorrect. The effects caused on this country were devastating. The bodies recovered on January 25 exceeded 150,000, calculating that the death toll would exceed 200,000. The final data of those affected were released by Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive on the first anniversary of the earthquake, the January 12, 2011, stating that 316,000 people died in the earthquake, 350,000 more were injured, and more than 1.5 million people were left homeless.

padilas [110]

According to the latest news, scientists declared that an astronomical object discovered in June is the largest known "Comet."

This is evident in the fact the comet was named "Comet Bernardinelli-Bernstein."

The Comet is believed to be about a thousand bigger than any other comet ever discovered.

The comet about 1.8 million miles away from our solar system was discovered by the duo of graduate student Pedro Bernardinelli and Professor Gary Bernstein at the University of Pennsylvania's department of physics and astronomy.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the largest Comet is the astronomical object discovered in June by scientists.

Which of the following is used by the federal government to provide Social Security and Medicare benefits?
Yuri [45]

The correct answer is: "FICA".

FICA stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act. It establishes a mechanism through which both employers and employees make their contributions and fund the Social Security system and the provision of Medicare benefits.

Such funding is used at a federal level to provide income support to individuals who are retired, who suffer disabilities or, for example, to the families (children) of deceased workers.

What are the major differences between ancient California and Mesopotamia?
Gnesinka [82]

First, Mesopotamia was blessed with especially rich soil. Diverse elevations  (there are both high hills and low‐lying marshlands) and climatic variations in the region allowed for the evolution of many types of edible seeds and plants, as well as a variety of farm animals. California did not have it as easy as Mesopotamia did — it had several geographical disadvantages to conquer before its advantages could really shine.

Second, while the great city of Babylon was thriving in Mesopotamia in 3100 B.C., California remained rather insignificant as a trade or cultural center. It was inhabited by nomadic tribes who lived a hunter‐gatherer lifestyle.

Lastly, there was a speedy input of goods and knowledge via the waterways built across Mesopotamia. This was a distinct advantage of the area over competing regions, and allowed their economic and cultural life to flourish.
