Relationship between the location of the epicenters and depth of earthquake

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.

Whats an advantage of using a 1:1000 scale on a map
xeze [42]

Answer:

Well think about the size of our world. Its pretty big and it would be really hard to map something out the size of the world. Using a scale like this 1:1000 because it shows 1 for every 1000 miles or kilometers. Or even greater units of measurement, less spaced and yet still an accurate representation. If put through the backed scaled equation, you would get the actual size jsut by multiplying the number in this case 1 or more by 1000 and you’d get the exact measurements.
