The seismic activity occurs on the fault lines where tectonic plates converge or diverge from each other. #Prankerandrew92

Answer:

Most of seismic activity occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates are in constant movement.

The movements of these plates result in the following types of limits:

  • Convergent: the plates approach each other.
  • Divergent: the plates move away from each other.
  • Transform: the plates move horizontally, past one another.

<u>Small earthquakes </u>are associated with<u> convergent boundaries</u>, and <u>larger ones with divergent and transform. </u>

The vast majority of the largest and most catastrophic earthquakes in history have occurred near the boundaries of tectonic plates.

Non-Alaskan grizzly bears are indicator species for mountain ecosystems. In the nineteenth century, the grizzly bear nearly went
borishaifa [10]

Explanation:

Animal indicator list is a barometer to check how a particular ecosystem is affecting the lives of particular animals. The indicator measures  stress or behavior in the ecosystem to know whether to protect  the specie or allow them undisturbed

This is to avoid or reduce to barest minimum incidences of extinction of such specie in the ecosystem.

The grizzly sudden reduction in number from well over 100,000 in California to less than nothing in 1942 triggered  the need to protect the grizzlies from human destruction and possible extinction. Grizzlies was a national specie and appeared in the flag of California. The population gradually reduced in most of the states of Idaho, Utah, Alaska and many more.

The grizzlies in 1975 were declared protected species to avoid being hunted or trapped by humans and to repopulate them in the areas where they once lived. Their future will depend largely on humans ability to allow them to coexist with them, by setting out a large area for them to live and regroup.

This will go to balance the ecosystem which has been tampered or disturbed by development.

Plz help<br> How does subduction change the ocean floor
r-ruslan [8.4K]
In geology subduction is the process whereby one tectonic plate is forced underneath another tectonic plate along a convergent boundary. Places where this type of plate interaction occurs are called subduction zones. Subduction zones have a high rate of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building.

Explain the difference between a Long Profile and a Cross Profile of a River.
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The average flow velocity of a river increases along its long profile. This makes sense; along the profile, more potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, increasing the velocity. This is only the average velocity however; a cross-section of a river shows that the velocity varies from one side to the other.
