What two processes are involved in atoll formation?

1 answer:

7 0

The formation of an atoll is a slow process that can take millions of years. It begins when an underwater volcano erupts, creating a buildup of lava on the seafloor. With continued eruptions, the lava continues to build until it breaks through the ocean's surface and forms an island.

Answer:

10 times; 2 times.

Explanation:

A seismograph can be defined as an instrument that is used for monitoring, detecting and recording the direction, duration and magnitude (intensity) of an earthquake in a particular geographical location. Also, a seismogram is the graphical representation of the parameters or quantities such as wave amplitude measured by seismograph.

In this scenario, Ramon knew that the wave amplitude on a seismogram measures how severe an earthquake is. In a magnitude 8 earthquake, the waves are ten (10) times larger than a magnitude 7 earthquake. However, the energy released is two (2) times greater.
