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.

Identify and describe the four stages of the demographic transition model
horsena [70]

There's four stages in the classical demographic transition model:

Stage 1 - Pre-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but also the life expectancy is very low, thus the growth of the population is slow.

Stage 2 - Early transition

In this stage, the birth rates are very high, but the life expectancy is increased, so the population grows rapidly.

Stage 3 - Late transition

In this stage, the birth rates decline slightly, and the life expectancy is a bit higher, thus the population growth is slowing down.

Stage 4 - Post-transition

In this stage, the birth rates are declined significantly, the life expectancy is pretty high, so the population is either growing very slowly, or it is declining.

Where is industry now shifting from in the world?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The industry nowadays is shifting from the more developed countries to less developed countries.

Explanation:

A is not correct because the less developed countries didn't really have any industry to start with, let alone for it to shift to another place from them.

B is not correct because the industry has been moving with the process of globalization, thus it has been shifting for some time now to the global markets.

C is correct because the industry from the more developed countries has seen a great opportunity and potential for making more profit in the less developed countries, and the reason for that is cheaper labor force, cheaper materials, and lower taxes.

D is not correct because these two regions are pretty much on the same level when it comes to industry, so there wouldn't really make any sense that it shifts from one to another.
