The answer is that "since they do not interact with the electromagnetic force, they do not feel friction or drag and hence do not contract with the rest of the protogalactic cloud." WIMPs (Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles) are hypothetically constituted to dark matter. It is in their nature to be less interactive, so they are scattered throughout galactic halos and not focused into the galaxy's disk.
Answer:
Because the high pressure areas are associated with cold air masses which push away out of polar regions during the winter when there is less sun to warm neighbouring regions.
The answer should be D. Hope that helps?
Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially saturated substantially loses strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress condition, causing it to behave like a liquid.
The correct answer is - C. the San Andreas fault.
San Francisco, as most of the western of California, is lying in close proximity to the San Andreas fault. This fault is a continental transform fault that is formed as a result of the transform boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate, with a small plate lying in between them. Because of the horizontal movement of the plates and the pressure they cause to one another, there's constant adjustments inside the crust, and that contributes to lot of earthquakes in the region. One of those earthquakes was the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, a very strong and devastating earthquake, often considered as the worst earthquake in the history of the United States.
