What does the cluster of seismic events in Southeast Asia suggest?

Geography
1 answer:
irina [24]3 years ago
5 0

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.

Which of the following has been proposed as a potential strategy for mitigating the increase of co2 in the atmosphere ?
Triss [41]
<span>Injecting into geological formation, adding iron to the ocean to increase phytoplankton, and shooting into space
</span>
All of the above proposed methods are being proposed to help decrease global warming <u>but adding aerosols into the atmosphere does not involve the mitigation of the increase in CO2 in the atmosphere. </u>

1. Adding aerosol to the atmosphere - aerosols added to the atmosphere have the potential to block the sun's rays and reduce global warming. They reflect the sun's rays back to the atmosphere while at the same time providing "seeds" around which water droplets can come together to form clouds. Cloud formation can also help increase the earth's reflectivity against the sun's rays.

2. Injecting into geological formation - carbon dioxide from stationary sources (e.g. powerplants and factories) can be captured and eliminated from the atmosphere, compressed into a fluid state, and injected deep underground into permeable and porous geological formations and overlain with a layer of impermeable rock to seal the CO2 underground. 

3. Adding iron to oceans to increase phytoplankton - phytoplanktons take up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for photosynthesis. Thus, adding iron to the oceans, which acts as a fertilizer to the phytoplanktons, can encourage the growth of the phytoplankton population. The more phytoplanktons, the more CO2 that can be removed from the atmosphere. 

4. Shoot it into space - some scientists propose that a conveyor can be built in the Arctic to take advantage of the Earth's magnetic field and allow for the venting or expelling of CO2 into outer space.

What type of plate boundary would you expect at a reverse fault?
Luden [163]

Convergent plate margins

Explanation:

Reverse faults are usually found at convergent plate margins. In a convergent plate margin, compressive forces which squeezes rocks together are at work here. In this margin, plates are in head on collision.

  • A reverse fault is a fault type in which the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall moving downward.
  • Here shortening of the earth occurs as the two blocks moves.

This can only be possible when there is compression. Two forces are directed towards each other.
