Answer:

GPS works by sending radio signals from satellites to ground stations. ... Scientists can measure the rate at which the tectonic plates move by recording the time it takes for ground stations to move a given distance.

It is 35°C at sea level. The environmental lapse rate between sea level and 2100 meters is 6.85 °C/1000m. The environmental laps
Zinaida [17]

Based on the various lapse rates, the temperature at 9,000 meters will be<u> 30.53°C.</u>

<h3>Temperature at 2,100 meters </h3>

= Sea level temperature - Lapse rate x Difference in Depth from last lapse rate

= 35 - (6.85 / 1,000 x 2,100)

= 20.62°C

<h3>Temperature at 3,500 meters </h3>

= 20.62 - (11 / 1,000 x (3,500 - 2,100))

= 20.62 - (11/1,000 x 1,400)

= 5.22° C

<h3>Temperature at 9,000 meters </h3>

= Temperature at 3,500 meters - Normal lapse rate x Difference from last lapse rate

Normal lapse rate = 6.5 ° C / 1,000 meters

= 5.22 - ( 6.5 / 1,000 x (9,000 - 3,500))

= 5.22 - ( 6.5 x 5.5)

= -30.53° C

In conclusion, the temperature at 9,000m will be -30.53°C.

Starting from the beginning of an earthquake, number the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epi
Dmitriy789 [7]

To find the epicenter (the point on the earth's surface where an earthquake begins) during earthquakes, one need to view the seismogram (a record of the ground motion), and at least two other seismographs recorded for the same earthquake. Other instruments such as a map, a compass for sketching circles on the map, a ruler, and a pencil will also be used.

The following are the steps of the triangulation process in the correct order to find the epicenter during earthquakes:

Step 1: Subtract the time of P wave arrival from S wave arrival.

Step 2: See what the time difference is equal to in distance on a seismic wave chart.

Step 3: Draw circles representing the distances from at least three seismograph stations to the epicenter on a map.

Step 4: Find the point where all 3 circles intersect, and you've found the earthquake's epicenter.
