<u>Answer:</u>

An earthquake occurs when there is a Shake or a fault in the earth. Therefore, this makes the tectonic plates to move slowly and but they are stuck at the edges because of friction. When resistance exceeds stress, then it causes the earthquake. It then releases energy that travels to the earth through the crust and making it shake as we feel it.  

California experiences different types of plates; the principal boundary between the plates the fault from San Andrea is that is about 650 miles long towards the depths with other smaller defects at San Jacinto.

Answer

Seismic activities in this area are small and they are never even felt.

Explanation

Along the Indiana and Illinois border runs the Wabash valley seismic zone, which according to the United States Geological Services (USGS) data, lesser earthquake events happen relatively frequently along the line. Although Indiana is located near two powerful fault lines, it hasn’t produced life threatening earthquakes.

In the northern hemisphere, the sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the
schepotkina [342]

The Sun is lowest in the sky with less radiation in the Northern Hemisphere during the winter solstice.

Explanation:

The Earth is not static, but instead it is involved in several different motions. One of those motions is the Earth's tilt. Basically, the Earth is tilted with one of its hemispheres (northern or southern) toward the Sun in half of the year, and then in the other half of the year it is tilted with the other hemisphere toward the Sun.

When one of the hemispheres, lets say the Northern Hemisphere, is tilted away from the sky, and that reaches the maximum, it receives the least solar radiation, and the Sun is the lowest on the sky. That occurs on 21 or 22 December, and it is known as the winter solstice. This date represents the start of the winter for the Northern Hemisphere, thus its coldest period of the year.

The four stages on Earth caused by the tilting are:

  • spring equinox
  • summer solstice
  • autumn equinox
  • winter solstice
