Helen [10]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The question is not complete since no map is attached, but I would show you how to solve it.

When trying to determine the location of the epicenter of the earthquake, we need at least three different seismic stations. To find the epicenter, a method known as triangulation is used. This is done by drawing circle at each of the seismic stations with the radius of the circle equal to the distance from the station to the earthquake. The point of intersection of this three circles is the epicenter.

In this problem, a circle with a radius of 380 miles is drawn at Phoenix, 280 miles radius circle at Denver and a 880 miles radius circle at California. The point of intersection of the circle gives the epicenter. Note that the circles are drawn to scale.

Earth's population continues to grow daily. Which of the following statements best illustrates a possible consequence of such ra
Elodia [21]
The answer is competition for natural resources will increase. More people means people will fight for limited natural resources. It’s the only one that seems logical. Oxygen will not increase since humans do not produce it, we cut down the trees and plants that do to build our houses. More land will not be available it will decrease as more people inhabit the planet and take up more space. People will use more fossil fuels because more people = companies take advantage to sell their product. They don’t care about the environment so if the demand goes up then they will supply more. Even though there’s a limited amount, therefore meaning that the overall amount will decrease.
