<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.

What does ethically produced mean? Does this phrase apply to sweatshops
Bas_tet [7]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

<u>Ethically produced</u> means that a product was produced or a service was completed in a moral way and without infringing on the rights of others.

This phrase does not apply to sweat shops. These were places with unsafe and poor working conditions where workers were worked to their max and received low wages. The leaders of these companies were so concerned about profits that they did not take into account the well being of their employees. This is definitely not ethical, so products produced in sweatshops were not ethically produced.

Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D

Match the theme of geography in column 1 with the global citizenship quote<br> in column 2.
dusya [7]

Answer:

Movement - People first settled there over 8,000 years ago.

By saying that people only settled in the location in question 8,000 years ago, it is inferred that they were not always there which means they have to have moved from somewhere else to that place.

Location - It's morning for me so for you it must be nighttime.

The location of places in world matters temporally because some locations have different time zones that would have different times during the day. For instance if the time was 12 pm in London, it would be 8pm in Beijing.

Regiom - Do people grow more rice or more wheat in your part of the country.

A region refers to an area that shares similar characteristics be it physical or or human. This quote falls under the physical similarities as it is asking if the people in the region are similar in that they grow more wheat

Human - Environmental Interaction - The Endangered Species Act has completely changed the logging industry here.

This refers to any point where humans are impacted by the environment or vice versa. Logging is the cutting for trees for wood products so involves humans affecting the environment.
