How do seismologists measure earthquakes?

Chemistry
1 answer:
choli [55]2 years ago

Answer:

A. By the circumference of the epicenter

Explanation:

If the Earth's lithospheric plates begin to move slowly, stresses emanate in the crust, most at times close to the plate boundaries. These stresses (compression, tension strain, and shear) accumulate in the crust until they surpass the rock's strength or the pressure around an internal fault. And there's a sudden slippage of rock around a fault.

The planet shakes and the rocks lurch to their new position in a matter of seconds as the stress energy is released. Seismic waves move away from the broken portion of the fault, just like ripples from a pebble landing on calm water.

Seismologists may estimate when the slippage started on a fault, the area of the slipping fault, the sum of slippage or fault throw (i.e. just how much the crust moved), and the length of time it takes for the slippage to happen by measuring the circumference of the epicenter which is the mapped area where the earthquake is taken place.

How do you balance the chemical equation NaOH + H2SO4 &gt; Na2SO4 +H2O
jenyasd209 [6]
Make sure there are the same number of atoms of each element on either side.
1) Check each one.
2) If one's out of balance, alter the equation to balance it and go back to 1)
3) When everything's balanced, you're finished!

We have 1 Na on the left and 2 Na on the right here. We'll need another NaOH to balance it:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + H₂O
Now O is out of balance. There's 6 on the left and 5 on the right. We'll need more H₂O:
2 NaOH + H₂SO₄ > Na₂SO₄ + 2 H₂O
Fortunately H is in balance. S is also in balance here, so looks like we did it!
