A fault has an Mw 8.5 earthquake roughly every 200 years. Imagine that scientists found a way to trigger Mw 5.0 earthquakes when

ever they wanted. If they wanted to release the same amount of energy as the Mw 8.5 earthquake, how many of the smaller earthquakes would they need the same 200-year time period

3 0

Answer:

340

Explanation:

Given that

The time period in question is 209 years

The magnitude of the first earthquake is 8.5 Mw

The magnitude if the artificially induced earthquake is 5.0 Mw

To solve this question, we'd use the simple relationship of

8.5 * 200 = 5.0 * Y, where

y is the no of artificial earthquakes required ..

Making y subject of the formula, we have

Y = 1700 / 5.0

Y = 340

Therefore, we have 340 smaller earthquakes in the said 200 yrs time period

2. What changes take place during physical weathering?
stepan [7]

The correct answer is A. Rocks are broken into smaller pieces.

Explanation:

In geography, the term weathering is used to refer to the process in which rocks and others such as soil or mineral break into smaller pieces. This can occur due to chemical agents or due to physical factors. Physical weathering includes factors such as temperature, physical contact or pressure that make rocks and other materials break in smaller pieces without changing the general properties or composition of the material. Additionally, these pieces along with other materials form the soil. According to this, the change that takes place during physical weathering is "Rocks are broken into smaller pieces".

Why might some civilizations not have been part of the Neolithic Revolution?
butalik [34]
I’d say C.

A doesn’t make sense, they definitely could’ve domesticated animals in that time.

B doesn’t make sense either, they could’ve easily seen smoke signals, the sky wasn’t filled with them often.

C is just a weird answer. I doubt they were “passive observers” but probably the best answer to the question.

D doesn’t add up because they definitely needed agriculture/food surpluses. They were always hunting, they obviously ran out of food rather quickly.


So C is the answer.
