<h2>Answer:</h2>

The area is <u>California</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

There are 500,000 seismic tremors occurring out of which most of them are in the California zone. Over 80% of seismic tremors happen in a territory known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, a 25,000-mile horseshoe shape along the north side of the Pacific Ocean.  

The principle purpose behind the distinction is that the California coast is directly over the limit of two of the structural plates that make up the Earth's covering.  

Earth's covering, the lithosphere, is separated into in excess of twelve strong plates that buoy over a progressively gooey layer of hot shake.  

In California, plates are granulating against one another. Envision striking two blocks against each other, often as possible reason them to split, perhaps severing lumps. As increasingly more weight is included, the block is probably going to break someplace in the center.

What is the Wt% of SiO2 in augite?<br><br> (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al) (Si,Al)2 O6
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The weight% of SiO_2 in augite is 13.16 %.

Explanation:

Atomic mass of calcium = 40 g/mol

Atomic mass of iron = 56 g/mol

Atomic mass of magnesium = 24 g/mol

Atomic mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Atomic mass of aluminum = 27 g/mol

Atomic mass of silicon = 28 g/mol

Atomic mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol

Mass of SiO_2=28 g/mol+ 2\time 16 g/mol=60 g/mol

Molar mass of the augite (Ca, Fe, Mg, Na)(Mg,Fe,Al)(Si,Al)_2 O_6 = M

M=40 g/mol+2\times 56 g/mol+2\times 24 g/mol+23 g/mol+3\times 27 g/mol+2\times 28 g/mol+6\times 16 g/mol=456 g/mol

Weight% of SiO_2 in augite:

w\%=\frac{60 g/mol}{456 g/mol}\times 100=13.16\%

Is Russia and the US having a cyber war?
xeze [42]
Unless you have some classified the answer is no. United Stated and Russia are not in an official Cyber War, although I would not be surprised if we would soon find out they are going at one another through those means.

include interviews with community members drawings a sketch map and any other appropriate illustrative material in South Africa​
ehidna [41]

The inclusion of interviews with community members drawing a sketch map and any other illustrative material in South Africa helps in the effectiveness of qualitative scientific research.

<h3 /><h3>What is qualitative scientific research?</h3>

It is an approach whose scope focuses on understanding societal phenomena through the study of subjective aspects such as culture, behavior, place and time. The collection of data and information is usually done in a more comprehensive way, and interviews, case studies and analysis techniques can be carried out to understand the hypotheses.

Therefore, the use of a sketch map or illustrative material may be appropriate in conducting qualitative research in South Africa, in order to reduce communication and cultural barriers that may arise and imply the effectiveness of the research.
