escription of what happens before the volcano forms.
A)Denser continental plate pushes oceanic plate down. Oceanic plate melts deep in the Earth, Magma rises up through weak spot.B)The less dense oceanic plate subducts under the denser continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and pressure. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.C)As the more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate, it pulls the front edge of the less dense plate down, creating a deep zone or oceanic trench.D)The more dense oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate. Subducted plate melts due to heat and friction. Melted plate, now magma, rises up to the surface.

Why is The compaction of soil is a negative phenomena true?
dalvyx [7]
<span>Soil compaction causes serious damage and can only be reversed very slowly and at significant cost. Compaction restricts root growth and reduces infiltration of water into soil. It can increase runoff, which may lead to greater flooding, increased erosion, and the transfer of potential pollutants (including nutrients and pesticides) to surface waters. As the air getting into the soil is also restricted, the biological activity and root growth is affected. This reduces the fertility of the soil and, more specifically, the availability of plant nutrients.</span>

On the Richter scale of earthquake intensity:
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The ground is shaken 8 times more by a magnitude-8 quake than by a magnitude-1 quake.

Explanation:

  • Richter scale is a magnitude scale that shows the size and magnitude of the earthquake that is going to take place or occur. The scale was developed by Charles F Richter.
  • Before this, the shaking of the earthquake was related to the epicenter. The earthquakes are classified on the Richter scale range from  1 to 10 or greater the first 1-2 being negligible felt by none as small tremors start to rise from 3 onwards.
  • From 4-5 it's light from 5-6 its moderate and from 6-8 it's major and from 8 onwards it severest or greater that causes damage to buildings and well-designed structures. Major and heavy damages occur once per year.
