Explanation:

Salt lakes are formed when the water flowing into the lake, containing salt or minerals, cannot leave because the lake is terminal. The water then evaporates, leaving behind any dissolved salts and hence increasing its salinity, making a salt lake.

Answer:

Salt lakes form when the water flowing into the lake, containing salt or minerals, cannot leave because the lake is endorheic (terminal). The water then evaporates, leaving behind any dissolved salts and thus increasing its salinity, making a salt lake an excellent place for salt production.

bekas [8.4K]

After earthquakes happen, there will be smaller events which are known as <u>aftershocks</u>.

<h3>What are aftershocks?</h3>

These are smaller scale tremors that are felt after an earthquake has occured in a region.

They are usually more serious the close one is to the epicenter, and for really strong earthquakes, aftershocks can be quite dangerous.

In conclusion, option B is correct.

Given that a circle has a radius of 4inches and then a radius of 12inches after it has expanded. Given that the formula for a ci

nlexa [21]

Answer:

Rate of change = 3π or 9.43

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial radius, R1 = 4 inches

Final radius, R2 = 12 inches

To find the rate of change;

First of all, we would determine the area of the circle.

Mathematically, the area of a circle is given by the formula;

Area of circle = πr²

For initial radius, R1;

Area of circle, A1 = πR1²

Area of circle, A1 = 4π square inches

For final radius, R2;

Area of circle, A2 = πR2²

Area of circle, A2 = 12π square inches

Now, we can find the rate of change;

Rate of change = A2/A1

Rate of change = 12π/4π

Rate of change = 3π (in terms of pie).

Identify by name the two tectonic plates labeled on the map above that are located directly on each side of

coldgirl [10]

The Earthquake epicenter is located next to the Japanese islands, as it is seen and labeled on the picture.

The tectonic plate that is to the right and below the epicenter is the Pacific Plate- this is easy to see on the picture.

The plate to the left is a little more confusing, but if you look closely, it is the Okhotsk plate- you know this because there are no boundaries between the name of the plate and the epicenter.
