<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 are some of the concerns for a “no deal” Brexit?
Vsevolod [243]

Attempting to persuade MPs, Mr Johnson said the deal allowed the UK to leave the EU bloc "whole and entire" and that it protected the Irish peace process.

"I hope very much now... that my fellow MPs in Westminster do now come together to get Brexit done, to get this excellent deal over the line and deliver Brexit without any more delay," he said.

MPs will debate and vote on whether to accept the deal on Saturday, during a special sitting in the House of Commons. Opposition leaders have indicated they will not throw their weight behind it without a second referendum on Brexit.

If the deal is rejected, attention will turn to whether Mr Johnson will ask the EU for a Brexit delay, as he is compelled to do under legislation. The Benn Act blocks Britain leaving the EU without a deal on 31 October but Mr Johnson seems intent on exiting on that date, deal or no deal.

On Thursday President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker ruled out an extension, saying: "If we have a deal, we have a deal and there is not need for prolongation."

Someone has some geography notes or summaries about Italy ? Thanks to everyone​
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Hi again! Here are my notes on Italy from my geography class last year:

<em>Geography of Italy</em>

Italy is a boot-shaped country to the south of the nations of France, Austria, Slovenia, and Switzerland. Sharing a Mediterranean culture with the Greeks, the Romans built on and borrowed from the Greek advances in civilization. Rome was the capital of what would become a far-reaching empire that would spread these ideas around the known world 1500-2000 years ago. Ideas like trial by jury, judges, plaintiffs, and defendants in court systems came from Rome. Engineering of architecture, roads, aqueducts, Roman baths, and the formation of the Catholic religion all came from the Roman culture. Art, music, literature, and the sciences were all made more sound by the Renaissance, which started in Rome and influenced the world. Along with Greece, Italy is part of the European Union, and its economy is based on textiles and industrial products.
