Usually, the rock is moving along large cracks in Earth's crust called faults. Most earthquakes happen at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates because that's where there is usually a large concentration of faults. ... Movement along those faults can cause earthquakes too. Also, Earthquakes happen when rock below the Earth's surface move.

What city state was located on Peloponnese?
loris [4]

The city state located on Peloponnese was Sparta.

Sparta was the only city state located on the southernmost part of Greece, on Peloponnese. It is one of the two best known city states along side Athens, and it was always one of the two strongest ancient Hellenic city-states.

Sparta though was not like the other city-states of the Hellenic world. While all others were developing some form of partial democracy, where orientated toward trade, science, Sparta was the total opposite. Sparta was ruled by a monarch. All the healthy boys were trained to serve the military and that was their only job in their lives. Most of the hard work was done by slaves. The women had role in the household but also the same rights as the men. The society was mostly striding toward self-sustaining, resembling and ancient type of socialism in a way.

3.Why should a model of the carbon cycle include the burning of fossil fuels?(1 point)
-Dominant- [34]

Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

A carbon cycle is a model that indicates how carbon is cycled across the spheres of the earth. Burning of fossil fuels  is part of this cycle indicating movement of carbon from the geosphere – since fossil fuels are derived from the geosphere (the rocks of the crust) - to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. Again this carbon will cross over to the biosphere when taken up by plants from the atmosphere during photosynthesis
