<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.

<em>The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, and is also where nearly all weather conditions take place. </em>

<em>C. Clouds:-</em>

<em>As the troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. Most of the mass (about 75-80%) of the atmosphere is in the troposphere. Most types of clouds are found in the troposphere, and almost all weather occurs within this layer. Air gets colder as one rises through the troposphere.Therefore the clouds are present in the troposphere.</em>

<em>D. The ionosphere:-</em>

<em>The of region ionosphere that includes the thermosphere and parts of the mesosphere and exosphere</em>
