Answer:

a). 2

b). Moderate

c). 73-112 mph

d). F1

Explanation:

A Fujita scale is a scale that is used to determine the rating for the tornado intensities. It is used to measure the intensity of the tornado and provides a rating based on the damages made by the tornado on the human built structures and other vegetations.

The rating is based on the wind sped and the damages caused by the winds. When the damages caused by a tornado is surveyed, it is compared to the lists of Damage Indicators and the Degree of Damage which helps to estimate the range of the speeds of the tornado and an EF scale rating is provided accordingly.

In the context, It is given that the lightweight roof of a three storied building was uplifted. It was a non residential low rise three story building whose roof was uplifted completely but there was no damages made to the walls of the building.

So according to the EF scale, it provided a rating of :

Damage Indicator Number : 2

Degree of Damage : Moderate

Expected Wind Speed : 73-112 miles per hour

EF-scale Rating :  F1

Volcanic islands are created as a crustal plate moves over a what ?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

Volcanic islands are formed as a crustal tectonic plate containing an ocean moves over a magma hot spot.

... This magma carries an enormous amount of heat, and it can then be released into the crust and createmagma chambers there.

Explain which type of melting (flux, decompression, heat transfer) is responsible for mafic magmas in each of the following plat
EleoNora [17]

Solution :

The type of melting that is responsible for the mafic magmas for the following plate tectonic settings :

a). Mid - ocean ridges

At the mid oceanic ridges, the two plates diverges away and the new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma. The earth's interior is exposed as the two plates are moved away.

b). Continental rift :

A new oceanic crust is formed by the effusion of the magma and the two plates diverges away. Thus it causes the formation of the melt in the continental drift. As a result, the crustal thickness decreases.

c). Oceanic and continental volcanic arc :

The oceanic arc and the volcanic arc are the locations of the convergence. The denser plate of the arcs subducts under the less denser plates or the  lighter plates and it moves downwards into the mantle, which causes the increase in temperature of the surroundings.
