To measure the strength of an earthquake, you can use either a Richter scale or Mercalli scale. Richter scale uses the amplitued of the wave and the distance from the source. Mercalli scale uses observations of people and is not considered to be scientific as Richter scale.
Answer: H
Explanation:
When beavers dam a stream they slow the movement of water. Behind the beaver dam, a pond of still water is formed. This pond is then colonized by animals and plants that typically live in lakes rather than streams.

This is an exercise in centripetal force. The formula is
F = mv^2/r
where
m = mass
v = velocity
r = radius
Now to add a little extra twist to the fun, we're swinging in a vertical plane so gravity comes into effect. At the bottom of the swing, the force experienced is the F above plus the acceleration due to gravity, and at the top of the swing, the force experienced is the F above minus the acceleration due to gravity. I will assume you're capable of changing the velocity of the ball quickly so you don't break the string at the bottom of the loop.
Let's determine the force we get from gravity.
0.34 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.332 kg m/s^2 = 3.332 N
Since we're getting some help from gravity, the force that will break the string is 9.9 N + 3.332 N = 13.232 N
Plug known values into formula.
F = mv^2/r
13.232 kg m/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2 / 0.52 m
6.88064 kg m^2/s^2 = 0.34 kg V^2
20.23717647 m^2/s^2 = V^2
4.498574938 m/s = V
Rounding to 2 significant figures gives 4.5 m/s
The actual obtainable velocity is likely to be much lower. You may handle 13.232 N at the top of the swing where gravity is helping to keep you from breaking the string, but at the bottom of the swing, you can only handle 6.568 N where gravity is working against you, making the string easier to break.</span>
<span>Storm cells in a squall line typically move from the southwest to the northeast, and as the mature cells in the northeast begin to die off, new ones are formed at the opposite end to advance the line. The air in the southwest corner has strong vertical updrafts that allow new cells to grow and develop into thunderstorms.</span>
