A) Earthquake depth has continuously increased throughout the past century.


B) Higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust.


C) The higher an earthquake's magnitude, the deeper in Earth's crust it occurs.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B) "Higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust".

Explanation:

The table shows data of magnitude and depth of earthquakes that occurred at different time and at different locations. By analyzing the data we can conclude that higher-magnitude earthquakes do not always happen deeper in Earth's crust. At first glance we can thought that higher-magnitude earthquakes occur at high depth. However, the earthquake of Michoacan have a higher-magnitude than the earthquake of Alexandria (8 and 6.3, respectively), and the earthquake of Michoacan occurred at 12 miles of depth, while the earthquake of Alexandria occurred at 15 miles of depth.

A cylinder with a radius of 5.6 cm and a height of 10.7 cm has what volume? (You can look up the formula for the volume of a cyl
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

V=1054.2cm^{3}

Explanation:

1. First take the cylinder volume formula:

V=\pi.r^{2}.h

2. Then take the values for the radius and the height of the cylinder and replace them into the formula:

V=\pi*(5.6cm)^{2}*(10.7cm)

3. Solve the equation:

V=\pi*(31.36cm^{2})*(10.7cm)

V=\pi*335.5cm^{3}

V=1054.2cm^{3}

What did rutherfords gold foil experiment help him conclude
Naya [18.7K]
It allowed him to realize that the mass of an atom is concentrated at its center because the atoms mostly went through the foil but some were deflected. He also realized that an atom probably wasn't just empty space and scattered electron and it had a positive center.

The high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere of Mars inhibits infrared radiation from escaping and keeps the
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Mars atmosphere contains mainly carbon iv oxide, but the greenhouse effect as subdued as there is so little CO2 overall.

Venus as a planet contains 96.5% of carbon iv oxide. it doesn't contain water which can trap the CO2 as we have on earth where the oceans are able to trap the CO2 present and subdue the greenhouse effect. This inability to trap CO2 in Venus prevents infrared rays from escaping and with the fact the Venus is closer to the sun than earth and mars, its surface it extremely hot.
