The seismic focus is the point in the earth's crust where an earthquake originates from.
Answer:
Caucasus Mountain Range or Caucasus Mountains is between the black and caspian seas.
Explanation:
This mountain is a great barrier that extends for 750 miles and its tops exceed 4500 meters. It is located <u>between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea.
</u>
It has two mountain ranges: the Great Caucasus, which is the largest mountain range and extends for 1200 km, and the Lesser Caucasus which is 600 km long.
This great mountain range was <u>created by the clash between the Arab plate and the Eurasian plate</u> approximately 28 million years ago. Due to the constant movement of plates,<u> it is a region prone to continuous strong earthquakes</u> although it does not have volcanic activity despite the existence of some stratovolcanoes.
An onshore wind is any wind that blows from a body of water toward land. An offshore wind is any wind that blows from the land toward body of water.
Explanation:
The onshore winds are winds that form over larger bodies of water.
- These winds move from the body of water toward the land, usually during the day.
- The reason for that is that the bodies of water have lower temperature during the day, so the air above them is cooler, denser, so it moves toward the less dense, warmer air over the land.
The offshore winds are winds that form over land.
- These winds move from the land toward a body of water, usually during the night.
- The land heats up faster than the water, but also cools off quicker than the water, so at night the land is cooler. Because of it, the air masses that form over the land are more dense, so they move toward the less dense air masses over the water bodies.
