Geography
1 answer:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Along divergent boundaries like the mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise, earthquakes are common, but restricted to a narrow zone close to the ridge, and consistently at less than 30 km depth. Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andreas Fault.

Explanation:

When the earthquake depth is very shallow, it can be reported as a negative depth. Earthquake depths are calculated relative to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) geoid, mean sea-level, or the average elevation of the seismic stations that provided arrival-time data for the earthquake location.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.

Explanation:

The total length of ribbon Ellen has = 20 feet

Used to make pillows = 12 feet

Remaining ribbon = 20-12 = 8 feet

Given to her friend = 1/4

1/4 of 8 = 1/4 × 8 = 2 feet

so she gave 2 feet of ribbon to her friend.

  • As there are 12 inches in 1 foot.

so

2 feet in inches = 24 inches

Therefore, Ellen gave 24 inches of her ribbon to the friend.
