Answer:

Explanation: hey,

An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of stored energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.

Earthquakes are accordingly measured with a seismometer, commonly known as a seismograph.

The magnitude of an earthquake is conventionally reported using the Richter scale or a related Moment scale (with magnitude 3 or lower earthquakes being hard to notice and magnitude 7 causing serious damage over large areas).

At the Earth's surface, earthquakes may manifest themselves by a shaking or displacement of the ground.

PLEASE HELP!!
MrRissso [65]

Corporations are often accused of despoiling the environment in their quest for profit. Free enterprise is supposedly incompatible with environmental preservation so that government regulation is required.

Such thinking is the basis for current proposals to expand environmental regulation greatly. So many new controls have been proposed and enacted that the late economic journalist Warren Brookes once forecast that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could well become "the most powerful government agency on earth, involved in massive levels of economic, social, scientific, and political spending and interference.

But if the profit motive is the primary cause of pollution, one would not expect to find much pollution in socialist countries, such as the former Soviet Union, China, and in the former Communist countries of Eastern and Central Europe. That is, in theory. In reality, exactly the opposite is true: The socialist world suffers from the worst pollution on earth. Could it be that free enterprise is not so incompatible with environmental protection after all?

According to the Australian government, the state that has the longest border equals what percent of the country's total border
Anna71 [15]

Australia is an island country, and besides the big main island and Tasmania, it has 12,000 islands plus in its territory. Since it doesn't have any land borders, its borderline is actually the sum of all coastlines of all islands in its territory, and that accounts for 70,000 km.

New South Wales is the biggest state in the country, and it occupies 10% of its total land mass. Its border is 4,635 km, which means that it accounts for 6.62% of the total borderline of Australia.
