Answer:

D:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B released more energy

Explanation:

The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of the intensity of the earthquake and energy it releases.

An earthquake is a sudden movement within the earth which causes a release of energy.

  • The magnitude of earthquakes is reported by the intensity of the quakes from the source.
  • Earthquakes with a high intensity will have a high energy.

When will the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest?
xeze [42]

Answer:

When the wind is not blowing

Explanation:

Wave moves from one place to another when a force is applied by the wind on the surface of water. So, when a tide comes or recedes then it means a force is applied by wind, movement of earth etc.

Therefore, a sound will also produce due to the movement of these waves and also there will be some height of the waves.

Hence, this means that upwelling of wave, receding or coming of tide will be high and not calm.

Whereas when no wind is blowing then water will move very slightly. Therefore, in that case the waves at the shore be the smallest and calmest.
