Answer:B. Intensity

Explanation:

The Intensity of an earth quake refers to the noticeable and severity effects of damage on man made structures, natural(crops and livestock) and human life at different locations. To measure the intensity of an earthquake, the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is used and consists  of 12  levels of intensity(in roman numerals) that  rank the extent of damage based on observable effects with the higher levels based  on structural damage.  

A Level I -V1 Intensity on the scale will show slight damages to properties and treatable injuries to people, but going higher on the scale above VI  shows total damage and destruction to structures and human life.

Explain why the inner core remains a solid even though it is very hot.
Zinaida [17]
The inner core is solid because it is made of very dense, or heavy, materials - like iron and nickel. Even though it is very hot, these materials don't "melt" very easily, so they stay solid. Also, pressure due to the weight of the mantle and crust, atoms are forced together as solid.

What role do rivers play in geology? What role do they play vis-a-vis humanity?
Goshia [24]

Answer:

In geology, the rivers' main role is erosion and deposition, while for humanity, they have been crucial for the survival and development.

Explanation:

The rivers are water bodies (almost always of freshwater) and they have an influence on many things, be it of living or non-living nature. Physically, the big influence of the rivers can be seen in geology. The socio-economic and existential influence can easily be seen with humans.

In geology, the rivers have a big influence because of their big erosive power and their carrying capacity. Basically, the rivers destroy the rock strata, but also carry the material and pile it up at another place. At humanity, the rivers have been crucial for the survival of the species, but they have also enabled humans to produce their own food, develop civilization, and prosper.
