This table compares magnitude and depth of four earthquakes occurring between 1955 - 2017. The surface changes that occur as a r

esult of earthquakes begin in Earth's crust. What conclusion can be drawn about earthquake activity within Earth's crust based on the data shown?
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.


D) Earthquake magnitude has continuously decreased throughout the past century.

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.

What is the scientific term for the curved shape that results? guatured cyclinder
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Curvature

Explanation:

In mathematics, curvature is any of several strongly related concepts in geometry. Intuitively, the curvature is the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line, or a surface deviates from being a plane. For curves, the canonical example is that of a circle, which has a curvature ... For being meaningful, the definition of the curvature and its different

What are the products when ammonia (NH3) decomposes according to this equation?<br> NH3
In-s [12.5K]
<span>Ammonia (NH3) is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen elements.
=> N2 + 3H2 => 2NH3

Ammonia is basically used as a fertilizer. It is a gas composed of nitrogen and hydrogen. It is colorless with strong odor. Here are some other uses of Ammonia aside from fertilizer:
=> used by manufacturer to produce synthetic fiber
=> Used in metallurgical process
Ammonia can be decomposed easily and it produce hydrogen that is very convenient in welding.
Ammonia’s boiling point is -28.03 F and freezing point is -107.8F.

A solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was standardized against potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP). A known mass of KHP was titra
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we need to use the following expression to get the concentration of the base:

MaVa = MbVb (1)

We already know the volume of NaOH used which is 13.4473 mL. We do not have the concentration of KHP, but we can use the moles. We have the mass of KHP which is 0.5053 g and the molecular formula. Let's calculate the molecular mass of KHP:

Atomic weights of the elements to be used:

K = 39.0983 g/mol;  H = 1.0078 g/mol;  C = 12.0107 g/mol;  O = 15.999 g/mol

MM KHP = (1.0078*5) + (39.0983) + (8*12.0107) + (4*15.999) = 204.2189 g/mol

Now, let's calculate the mole of KHP:

moles = 0.5053 / 204.2189 = 0.00247 moles

With the moles, we also know that:

n = M*V (2)

Replacing in (1):

n = MbVb

Now, solving for Mb:

Mb = n/Vb  (3)

Finally, replacing the data:

Mb = 0.00247 / (13.4473/1000)

Mb = 0.184 M

This would be the concentration of NaOH
