Answer: Deep Focus

Explanation:

A Deep focus earthquakes is one that occurs deeper  beneath the  subduction zone called  Wadati-Benioff zone having  a focus greater than 300 km deep and magnitudes greater than 6, Because of these, they can only be measured using the Moment Magnitude scale which can measure earthquakes with magnitude over 10

Here there is a forceful collision of the  tectonic plates as they slide over each other within the continental and oceanic plates  boundaries causing the release of great energy,with extreme heat and pressure causing the rocks to flow instead of  breaking and faulting of the rocks

Deep focus earthquakes are very dangerous although occurring 20 - 30 years along a fault line are responsible for the many destructive  tsunamis that happen.

Which conclusion about oceanic languages is best supported by the data in the table
andrey2020 [161]

All Oceanic languages belong to the same language family, the Austronesian language family.

Explanation:

The Oceanic languages are languages that are dispersed all over Oceania, occupying one of the largest linguistic areas in the world. Despite occupying such vast area, there are only around 2 million speakers of these languages, as the native populations on the islands in Oceania are not large in general. There are over 450 Oceanic languages, and they are part of the Austronesian language family, and tracing their origin in the Proto-Oceanic language.

The three regions where these languages are spoken are Melanesia, Polynesia, and Micronesia. It is no wonder that the people from these three regions have languages from the same family, as they all share common ancestors, so as they were diverging, the language was just developing in a slightly different way, but still keeping the basics. These languages can be grouped into:

  • Admiralties and Yapese
  • St. Matthias
  • Western Oceanic
  • Temotu
  • Central Eastern Oceanic

The largest individual language by people that speak them are:

  • Eastern Fijian
  • Samoan
  • Kiribati
  • Tongan
  • Tahitian
  • Maori
