Answer:A heavy layer of smog hangs over the city. We can see it as we rise into the sky. We fly away from Faridabad, the second most polluted city in the world, and into the pristine mountains of Leh.

I stayed up until 2 am last night, researching what happens to a body when it flies into a high-altitude city. I ended up taking a Diamox tablet just to help with the nerves. The hour long flight is filled with sweaty palms as I wonder what’s going to happen when they depressurise the cabin. The internet told tales of people vomiting in the airport, the altitude got to them so quickly. Hospitalisation and oxygen tanks. People rushing in taxis to a lower town. Having hiked to 5600m, last time I was in the Himalayas, I know what it feels like to not have enough oxygen. Sleepless nights, exhaustion, headaches.

The plane shakes as it lands and I grip the arm of my seat. I never used to be scared of flying, but lately, I’m intensely aware of all the possible ways this life may end too soon. I’ve been taking fewer risks lately. I wonder if it’s just a natural part of getting older. I’m turning 28 next month. Or if there’s been a shift in the natural order of things. If the book I’m reading, Salman Rushdie’s The Ground Beneath her Feet, is telling some sort of truth about parallel universes getting too close, and about rifts forming and threatening an end to things. It would explain why the world seems so on edge lately.

The most damaging earthquakes _____. are deep focus result from ductile deformation are shallow focus along faults across the mi
makkiz [27]

Answer: Deep Focus

Explanation:

A Deep focus earthquakes is one that occurs deeper  beneath the  subduction zone called  Wadati-Benioff zone having  a focus greater than 300 km deep and magnitudes greater than 6, Because of these, they can only be measured using the Moment Magnitude scale which can measure earthquakes with magnitude over 10

Here there is a forceful collision of the  tectonic plates as they slide over each other within the continental and oceanic plates  boundaries causing the release of great energy,with extreme heat and pressure causing the rocks to flow instead of  breaking and faulting of the rocks

Deep focus earthquakes are very dangerous although occurring 20 - 30 years along a fault line are responsible for the many destructive  tsunamis that happen.
