Answer:
A) the volcanic activity at subduction zones makes the fault plane stickier and therefore they release more energy when they reach their elastic limit
Explanation:
- As the plate boundaries are very shallow and are able to produce very large earthquakes and thus release more energy when the slabs descent to the mantel and viscosity changes and causes the plates to move bend and deform and thickness of the slabs is also an important factor that determines the high magnitude earthquakes.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C - the cloud is moving towards us.
Answer:
The principal topographical features of the Sahara include shallow, seasonally inundated basins and large oasis; extensive plains; plateaus ; abrupt mountains; and sand sheets, dunes, and sand seas.
Explanation:
Answer:
D:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B released more energy
Explanation:
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of the intensity of the earthquake and energy it releases.
An earthquake is a sudden movement within the earth which causes a release of energy.
- The magnitude of earthquakes is reported by the intensity of the quakes from the source.
- Earthquakes with a high intensity will have a high energy.
