<u>Answer:</u>

Fault rupturing by the earthquake is largely governed by the Elastic rebound theory. In geology, the elastic rebound theory is an explanation of how energy is released during an earthquake. It explains that as rocks on opposite side of the fault are subjected to some force and shift.

They gather energy and deform slowly unless their internal strength increases causing a sudden movement occurs along the fault. This results in the releasing of the accumulated energy and rocks move back to their original but unreformed shape.

Explain one of the structure that hydraulic engineering is involved in​
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Hydraulic engineering is just a part of civil engineering. It is based on flow and conveyance of fluids, mainly water and sewage. It can be seen as an application of fluid mechanics for taking care of problems arising during storage, transport, regulation, measurement and use of water. This is needed while designing dams, canals, or cooling water facilities for thermal power plants.

Copernicus's model of the solar system gave much better predictions than the model of Ptolemy. Copernicus's model of the solar s
frozen [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The model of the universe developed by Nicolas Copernicus gave better predictions than the model of Ptolemy. The model of Ptolemy had prevailed for centuries, and it placed the Earth at the center of the universe. However, Copernicus accurately established that the sun was located at the center of the solar system. Moreover, Copernicus also established that the Earth is only one of many planets, that the Sun is stationary and that the Earth moves in three different ways (daily, annual, and annual tilting), among other astronomical principles.

Make some inferences as to why you feel the Southern Colonies had the most slaves and why New England had the fewest (hint: cons
Fed [463]

Answer:

The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and had a flatter geography.

The New England Colonies in the North had rocky soil and had hills/mountains inland which made them more on the industry side (this is also how the Union won the Civil War later on, the North was able to manufacture things while the South had mostly agricultural plantations). There wasn't much use for slaves in a factory, and much more in the South where plantations and large farms were.

The North was very religious besides Pennsylvania where the Quakers resided.

The South barely was religious because your nearest neighbor would be a few farms over, so you don't really converse with them much.
