Predicting where an earthquake epicenter will occur is easier because are patterns to look at due to the fact that they always occur near plate boundaries. Predicting when they will occur is difficult because they do not follow any certain pattern.
Answer:
i. 3/5
ii. 2/5
Explanation:
Solving the problem by any of the students A, B and C is an independent event as solution by one does not restrict the other one from solving
However, the problem will be solved if even one of them solves the question
Now Probability of not solving the question by A, B and C are
PA (not solving a problem) - 1-1/3 = 2/3
PB (not solving a problem) - 1-1/4 = 3/4
PC (not solving a problem) - 1-1/5 = 4/5
ii) Probability of not solving - 2/3*3/4*4/5 = 2 *1/5 = 2/5
i) Probability of solving - 1- Probability of not solving
= 1 - 2/5 = 3/5
The correct answer is - A. Desertification is increasing, and the desert is expanding.
The Sahara desert has been expanding in the past decades, and it has started to overtake territory south of it. This is mainly due to climate changes, the precipitation has been decreasing, the temperatures have been rising, so the desert has slowly crippled into the territories that were once steppes and savannas. There is an organized action from the people that leave on the borderline of the desert, where they have been thought some techniques as to how to stop the desert growing, and they have gladly accepted it and work hard on it. Initially it seems that there are positive results, but for sure only the time will tell.
The other name for West Bank is Cisjordan:the name refers to the fact that it's a Bank of Jordan - the correct answer is D, the one that mentions the Jordan River.
