Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated  substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.

Write an analogy about how a star’s lifespan is similar to a human’s lifespan.
insens350 [35]
Star is to centuries as human is to days. im not sure if this really makes sense but stars live about 10 billion years so a really long time so they represent centuries and humans live on average to 79 so we represent days. if you want or think it makes more sense you could make humans even smaller (hours, minutes, seconds). hope this helped!

Why are most maps unable to depict the earth accurately?
SpyIntel [72]
The Earth is a spherical shape and maps are flat 2-D shapes,so this makes it difficult to size the exact proportions correctly because they just don't mix. It's like trying to make a flat mask for your face.

Giving the right triangle JKL what is the value of cos (L)
kvasek [131]
<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

For the right triangle to be given in name of three letters such as this, the right angle is most likely to be in the center, in this case letter K. To determine the common trigonometric properties of a certain angle we may use of the mnemonics SOH - CAH - TOA. 

                         sin angle = opposite side / hypotenuse

                         cosine angle = adjacent side / hypotenuse

                         tangent angle = opposite side / adjacent side

If we let small letter j, k, and l be the sides opposite to angles J, K, and L, respectively. Then, the cos (L) will be,

                                      cos (L) = j/k
