The epicenter of the earthquake, which was off the coast of Japan, was located nearest the Pacific Plate boundary.
<span>A Segunda Guerra Mundial foi mais brutal e mais sangrenta do que qualquer um que sobreviveu à Grande Guerra poderia ter imaginado. A Segunda Guerra Mundial causou a morte de cerca de 60 milhões de soldados e civis. A Segunda Guerra Mundial foi a primeira guerra que cobrou a vida de mais civis do que soldados e testemunhou o horror do primeiro genocídio sistemático na história moderna com o Holocausto. Além disso, muitas cidades, vilas e aldeias em toda a Europa foram completamente destruídas por bombardeios aéreos e artilharia pesada. A destruição sem sentido de casas criou milhares de refugiados e pessoas deslocadas. Quase todos na Europa foram afetados pela guerra.</span>

Answer:
Surface waves and Body waves are both seismic waves. Seismic waves are waves of energy that are caused by earthquakes. Body waves travel inside the Earth, or through the Earth, in all directions. Surface waves travel along the surface of the Earth. The two types of body waves are primary (P) and secondary (S) waves. When we measure the time it takes for a wave to come to form an epicenter to a measuring station we can conclude what materials the wave passes through because waves slow down or get absorbed when passing through matter.
Answer:
The plates converge, diverge or move past each other (sideways)
Explanation:
The earth crust is divided into different tectonic plates. The manner and way this separated plates moves determines the earth structure and topology of the earth. Even this movement causes hazardous event like volcanic eruption.
The plates movement can be converging, diverging or moving past each other .
Convergence occur when two plates collides with each other . The boundary where this phenomenon takes place is called the convergent boundary. The colliding of this plates causes earth deformation and extensive uprising . In the case where a continental plates collides the collision produces mountains . The continental plates are less dense and very active. Continental plates contains more of granitic rocks and this is what contributes to their less dense nature. The collision of this active plates causes an up-welling to form mountain belts . The highest mountain(mountain Everest) was formed through this process. There can also be convergence when oceanic plates collides with a continental plates. The more dense oceanic plates subduct , this subduction leads to introduction of molten magma to the earth surface through volcanic eruption.
At the divergence boundary , two plates move away from each other . This divergent boundary is dominant in the oceanic crust . It can also occur in the continental crust. The plates diverge into two parts . The mid oceanic ridge forming the point of separation. Volcanic eruption introduces magma through the crest of the oceanic ridge to form a new crust.
At the transform boundary, plates moves past each other in a side way manner. The transform movement produces many faults. example San Andrea Fault.
