Identify the true statement. Choose one:
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The outer core of the earth is liquid in nature, where they are comprised of dense molten rocks, which flows continuously due to the heat energy radiated from the extreme core of the earth, having a very high temperature. This flow of liquid rocks across the present magnetic field lines of force generates an electric current which subsequently produces the magnetic field. This process of producing magnetic fields is commonly termed as advection.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

What does the cluster of seismic events in Southeast Asia suggest?
irina [24]

Answer:

Every fault that experienced an earthquake in the past is likely to experience earthquakes in the future. Plate boundaries are of course the most likely places to be struck by earthquakes, but seismic events can also happen within tectonic plates.

In Southeast Asia, the plate boundary between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plates (i.e. the Sunda Megathrust) is very likely to be hit by earthquakes (and tsunamis). Scientists study the segmentation of the Sunda megathrust and the return times of earthquakes in this subduction zone to mitigate their effects as much as possible.
