The migration of the Moon away from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth's tides. The Moon is kept in orbit by the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on it, but the Moon also exerts a gravitational force on our planet and this causes the movement of the Earth's oceans to form a tidal bulge.

The Boreal Forest is very important to Canada and Canadians in terms of both its market value and the non-market value or natura
bogdanovich [222]

Answer: The Boreal Forest is more important for its natural capital value.

Explanation: The forest helps to stabilize the land. It serves as habitat for many species which would fail to thrive or die out completely if the forest is harvested or converted to other uses.

The Boreal Forest serves to reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere year round through photosynthesis, allbeit at a reduced rate during the shorter hours of daylight during the winter.

This is a most important consideration as the negative consequences of climate change could be devastating for not only Canada, but for the world.

Factor that helps most people predict the force and danger of a tsunami is ?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Factor that helps most people predict the force and danger of a tsunami is obviously the developed technology we attain now.

Explanation:

Abnormal ocean activity, a wall of water, and an approaching tsunami create a loud "roaring" sound similar to that of a train or jet aircraft. If you experience any of these phenomena, don't wait for official evacuation orders. Immediately leave low-lying coastal areas and move to higher ground."

Inundation and run-up are often determined by measuring the distance of killed vegetation, scattered debris along the land and eyewitness accounts of the incident. Scientists have made great strides in monitoring and predicting the ongoing threat of tsunamis.

Deep-ocean tsunami detection buoys are one of two types of instrument used by the Bureau of Meteorology (Bureau) to confirm the existence of tsunami waves generated by undersea earthquakes. These buoys observe and record changes in sea level out in the deep ocean.

The biggest problem in predicting the size of a tsunami is in determining exactly how much energy was put into the ocean by an earthquake, and that is something that cannot be determined in the immediate aftermath of the event.
