Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The modified Mercalli scale is commonly used by the geologists to determine the intensity of an earthquake. It also determines the amount of destruction it causes to an area. It has some standard values ranging in number from I to XII, where the value I is the least effective (almost unnoticeable) and XII is the most destruction. This scale was constructed based on the effect that an earthquake causes.

Thus, from the given condition, it can be concluded that the highest intensity felt by the people indoor and not by the outdoor people is III.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

How does cliff collapse affect the environment
Ede4ka [16]
A cliff collapse could affect the environment by exposing new rock (previously covered by the cliff) to the elements, which could result in runoff of a different nature when it rains. Additionally, the cliff would collapse upon whatever life/features existed at the base of the cliff. One of the most drastic effects could be the shaking of the earth. Cliff failures can result in earthquakes or, if the cliff collapses into a large body of water, massive tsunamis which radically impact coastal environments.

Answer:

E. Some of the areas with the highest population increases between 2000 and 2010 (above 14.9%) occur in areas with the greatest tsunami risk.

Explanation:

A Tsunami can also be called a tidal wave and is characterized by the displacement of a large volume of wave-shaped water capable of advancing in the terrestrial portion and causing great destruction. Although it does not happen very often, there are areas in the USA with high tsunami risks. These areas are the ones with the highest population growth, which can be a major concern for governments if they need to act against tsunamis.
