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.

Which part of Africa is pulling away from the rest of the continent the eastern part, the western part, the northern part, or
SpyIntel [72]

The African Plate is a major tectonic plate straddling the equator as well as the prime meridian. It includes much of the continent of Africa, as well as oceanic crust which lies between the continent and various surrounding ocean ridges. Between 60 million years ago and 10 million years ago, the Somali Plate began rifting from the African Plate along the East African Rift.[2] Since the continent of Africa consists of crust from both the African and the Somali plates, some literature refers to the African Plate as the Nubian Plate to distinguish it from the continent as a whole.

What is the weather and geography like in Africa?
kifflom [539]

Answer:

South Africa is a relatively dry country, with an average annual rainfall of about 464 mm. While the Western Cape gets most of its rainfall in winter, the rest of the country is generally a summer-rainfall region. South Africa's coastal regions are therefore relatively warm in winter.

So in short: Hot and dry.

Hope this helps :)

In the southeastern corner of the map, the northwest-trending forested area is probably what kind of feature?
ANEK [815]

Hello. You forgot to put the map to which this question refers. The map is attached below.

Answer:

moraine

Explanation:

We can see that the northwestern forest area is probably a moraine due to the amount of kettle lakes it has around it, which is a clear sign of glacier movement due to the melting. These are common features of the moraine, which is characterized as a heap of glaciers that accumulate and move in retreat due to the melting.

The Midwestern United States is an example of which type of culture region?
inn [45]
<span>The answer is definitely C. The Midwestern United States is an example of a vernacular region. Indeed, the Midwestern has been generally acquainted and explained by both travelers and habitants quite mistakenly (most of them characterize the region as some little town and so on). Moreover, the vernacular element can also be found by paying attention to the emotional charges these people display while talking about the Midwestern (most of them knows everybody in town and they have still ongoing things with some of the city residents). </span>
