Explain in your own words, why can’t we predict earthquakes?

tatyana61 [14]3 years ago

There is currently no way to reliably predict when an earthquake will happen, its strength or length. Earthquakes can vary in their magnitude, the size of the earthquake at its source, and length, lasting from seconds to minutes.

Research has shown, that shaking of an earthquake displays a characteristic pattern. After the first tremors start, building up in intensity, a peak is reached, followed by a fading shaking. Large and small earthquakes start the same way, but there is no way to say when the peak, the maximal magnitude of the quake, is reached.

Why does the density of gas in a hot air balloon decrease as the gas is heated? A. The mass of gas increases as temperature incr
Morgarella [4.7K]
The answer is D. When heated, there is only physical process not chemical process. So the mass of the gas will not change. When heated, according to the thermal expansion, the volume will increase. And the mass is constant, so the density will decrease. Density=Mass/Volume.

If 211 mL of water is added to 5.00 mL of 3.24 M NaCl solution,
Softa [21]

Answer:

0.075M

Explanation:

-The concentration of a solution is defined as the mass of the solute divided by the volume of the solution:

Concentration=\frac{Mass \ Solute}{Volume \ of \ Solution}

-We the solve the molarity problem as follows:

M_1V_1=M_2V_2\\\\V_2=V_1+211=211+5=216mL\\\\\therefore M_2=\frac{M_1V_1}{V_2}\\\\=\frac{3.24\times 5}{216}\\\\\\=0.075\ M

Hence, the concentration of the dilute solution is 0.075M

_______ is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Kelvin. A. A calorie B. En
Maksim231197 [3]
<h2>The required option d) "specific heat" is correct.</h2>

Explanation:

  • To raise the temperature of any substance or material of certain mass to respective temperature it requires some amount of heat.
  • Specific heat is the amount of heat necessary to raise the temperature of the substance of 1 gram to 1 Kelvin.
  • It is the amount of heat which is required to raise the temperature per unit mass to per unit temperature.
  • Thus, the required "option d) specific heat" is correct.
