Answer:

The answer would be region B.

Explanation:

Region B has a light blue coloring showing that it is least likely to have an earthquake. There is also not much black or red showing the population isn't high in that area. Meaning, not much damage will be cause if an earthquake were to occur.

Hope this helps!

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

b. There is insufficient contrast in surface type (land vs. ocean) in the middle latitudes.

Explanation:

The sources of air masses can be produced or at very high latitudes because they can carry big amounts of air from the top of a mountain till the bottom by the differences of pressure and temperatures. This kind of air mass is called continental.

In the other hand, in a low latitude, the air coming from the sea, try to reach higher latitudes, again, by pressure and temperatures differences. These kind of air masses are called maritime.

Hope it was useful.

Plate boundaries are often grouped into two different categories. Subduction zones are examples of ___________ boundaries while

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Convergent and divergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards each other. Due to the impact, the heavier tectonic plate subducts beneath the lighter plate. This results in the formation of a subduction zone, and there forms a trench above this zone. The rocks at greater depths, melts and mixes up with the magma and eventually rises upward, towards the surface in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic arcs.

In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another. Due to this opposite motion of plates, there occur cracks on the seafloor and land areas, from where the magma comes out. With continuous spreading, there forms a ridge, which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. This type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation and expansion of the ocean basin. For example, the mid-Atlantic ridge.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

e. All of these

Explanation:

As the debris is geologically event with the water-laden masses of soils and rocks fragments and fall down from the mountains and a funnel into the stream channels and also, objects there paths with thick mud and blocks valleys. The volume if the debris flows generally ranged from the 100,000 cubic meters and frequent n the mountainous regions and can be very destructive.

Anne releases a stone from a height of 2 meters. She measures the kinetic energy of the stone at 9.8 joules at the exact point i

nlexa [21]

Eₖ = √1/2 mv²

Eₖ/v² = 1/2 m

2Eₖ/v² = m

mgh = 1/2 mv²

gh = 1/2 v²

2gh = v²

v = √2gh

= √2 × 10 N/kg × 2 m

= 6.324 ms⁻¹

m = 9.8/(6424)²

= 9.8/39.993

= 0.245 g

I am not sure if it's correct.

i transposed for m in the first equation then to find the velocity I combined the potential and kinetic energy equation. there was no mass because velocity doesn't depend on the mass

Then I used earth's gravitational field strength (g) 10 N/kg and the 2 m was the height provided in the question

you can try working and see if you get the same
