Answer:

Alaska, pacific, Pakistan, Indonesia, New Madrid, Charleston South, Philippines.

Explanation:

Earthquakes can strike any location at any time, but history shows they occur in the same general patterns year after year, principally in three large zones of the earth:

The world's greatest earthquake belt, the circum-Pacific seismic belt, is found along the rim of the Pacific Ocean, where about 81 percent of our planet's largest earthquakes occur. It has earned the nickname "Ring of Fire". Why do so many earthquakes originate in this region? The belt exists along boundaries of tectonic plates, where plates of mostly oceanic crust are sinking (or subducting) beneath another plate. Earthquakes in these subduction zones are caused by slip between plates and rupture within plates. Earthquakes in the circum-Pacific seismic belt include the M9.5 Chilean Earthquake [Valdivia Earthquake] (1960) and the M9.2 Alaska Earthquake (1964).

The Alpide earthquake belt extends from Java to Sumatra through the Himalayas, the Mediterranean, and out into the Atlantic. This belt accounts for about 17 percent of the world's largest earthquakes, including some of the most destructive, such as the 2005 M7.6 shock in Pakistan that killed over 80,000 and the 2004 M9.1 Indonesia earthquake, which generated a tsunami that killed over 230,000 people.

The third prominent belt follows the submerged mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ridge marks where two tectonic plates are spreading apart (a divergent plate boundary). Most of the mid-Atlantic Ridge is deep underwater and far from human development, but Iceland, which sits directly over the mid-Atlantic Ridge, has experienced earthquakes as large as at least M6.9.

The remaining shocks are scattered in various areas of the world. Earthquakes in these prominent seismic zones are taken for granted, but damaging shocks can occur outside these zones. Examples in the United States include New Madrid, Missouri (1811-1812) and Charleston, South Carolina (1886). However, many years usually elapse between such shocks.

Answer: c. Large part of Pacific Ocean, northernmost, Asia, majority of Europe, Estern portion of north and South America, Western Africa.

d. Because they're not situated along the plates boundaries and there are no volcanoes near them

3.Study map 2....

e. Volcanoes are randomly distributed and are mostly found in edges, plate boundaries, ring of fire, mid-ocean etc

f. They are situated at the ring of fire

g. Chile,Mexico,United States,Antarctica,Russia,Japan,Philippines ,Japan,New Zealand,Papa New Guinea,Indonesia,Canada,Peru,Taiwan,Gautemala

h. As per comparing the map of earthquake epicenters with the map of active volcanoes, it can be observed that it overlaps. The location of the volcanoes is where earthquakes mostly occurs. From the observation it can be said that earthquakes are mostly present where there is a near volcano in the area.

i. The distribution of mountain ranges are found in places where volcanoes and earthquake epicenters are also located.

j. The bases of the scientist are the mountain ranges, volcanoes, trenches, and Rift Valley.

3.Answer the following question

a. Mt.Pinatubo, because it has the most destructive eruption in the Philippine history.

b. Because most of the active volcanoes forms a circular ring-like chains in the pacific. Therefore, the chain is called the Pacific ring of fire not literally fire but volcanoes.

Geologic event Harmful effect/s Before During After

Earthquake The effects from earthquakes include ground shaking, surface faulting, ground failure, and less commonly, tsunamis. pack up with first aid kit, if you knew that there was an incoming earthquake on your area, Practice To Drop Cover Hold and pack up canned goods, clothes, whistles and flashlight.. Don't panic use duck, cover and hold Go outside of the house. if it is near along the shore evacuate into a high place. Listen to the Radio for the news or emergency evacuation updates or tsunami warning.

Landslide The impact of a landslide can be extensive, including loss of life, destruction of infrastructure, damage to land and loss of natural resources. Landslide material can also block rivers and increase the risk of floods. Do not build near steep slopes, close to mountain edges, near drainage ways, or natural erosion valleys. Get a ground assessment of your property. Contact local officials, state geological surveys or departments of natural resources, and university departments of geology. Don't panic and focus yourself and think fast of what to do safe to do,relax and focus to exit and keep track of your family members with you,keep away from falling objects that can be harmful to you and React fast. keep yourself calm,be aware of aftershocks of objects,check your family members, pets or the emergency kit and things to bring,evacuate and know some updates.

Tsunami when tsunami waves become extremely large in height, they savagely attack coastlines, causing devastating property damage and loss of life. protect yourself from an Earthquake. Get to high ground as far inland as possible. Be alert to signs of a tsunami, such as a sudden rise or draining of ocean waters. Listen to emergency information and alerts. Evacuate: do not wait. If you are in a boat, go out to the sea. run as fastbas you can and go to a high place that it cant reach or climb to a strong or a high tree and no matter what happened just hold it there until the tsunami is gone Be aware of the risk of electrocution. Stay away from damaged buildings, roads and bridges and on any building that has water around it. Tsunami water can cause floors to crack or walls to collapse

Volcanic eruption It can cause respiratory illness, infectious diseases, burn injuries from falls, vehicle accidents due to slippery, hazy conditions caused by ash. When warnings are heeded, the chances of adverse health effects from a volcanic eruption are very low. Prepare all the necessary things to bring once evacuation is needed. Store as much food, water, light sources and batteries that are very useful in case of emergency. Prepare masks to cover nose and mouth for the ash falls of the volcano. Safety of the kids first before anything else. Listen for emergency information and alerts,Follow evacuation or shelter orders,If advised to evacuate, then do so early,Avoid areas downstream of the eruption,Protect yourself from falling ash and Do not drive in heavy ash fall. Listen to your local radio stations for civil defense advice and follow instructions and stay indoors and away from volcanic ashfall

Once King Hammurabi had conquered Babylon, he isolated himself and his territory from the rest of Mesopotamia.
ozzi
No, it is false that once King Hammurabi had conquered Babylon, he isolated himself and his territory from the rest of Mesopotamia, since he was actually one of the most "active" kings of his day in that he injected himself into the affairs of surrounding territories.

A thesis statement about Golda Meir’s significance would link which phrases? Select all that apply.
Oksanka [162]

The correct phrases to link:

  • early settler in Israel
  • female head of state

Details:

Golda Meir was born in Kiev, Ukraine (then part of the Russian Empire), in 1898. Her family emigrated to the United States in 1906, where they settled in Milwaukee, WI. Golda Meir became a Zionist activist and helped raise funds for the settlement and establishment of Israel.  She and her husband moved to the Palestine Mandate territory in 1921, becoming settlers in a kibbutz there.  (Kibbutzes were collective farming settlements.)  

Meir later went on to become prime minister of Israel, holding that office from 1969 to 1974. She was the fourth prime minister of Israel, and has been the only woman to hold that office.  Meir was in office as prime minister during the time that Israeli athletes were attacked at the Munich Olympics in 1972, and also during the October War in 1973 (also known as the Yom Kippur War or the Ramadan War).
