What happens to cause earthquakes at plate boundaries?

Geography
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Hey!

So imagine the crust is made out of different plates. These plates aren't regularly shaped or similar in size. They are varied.

An earthquake is commonly created when rocks underground (or the plate in general) breaks suddenly along a fault line (this is just where two different plates meet).

The release of [movement] energy causes seismic waves (the chain effect of movement in the ground) which makes the ground shake (this is what we feel). An earthquake won't usually happen is the boundaries were smooth...so commonly occurs on all the different types of boundary!

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Country X has the higher natural increase rate.

Explanation:

Natural increase rate is the excess of fertility over mortality, that is, the difference between the number of births and deaths over a period of time; making the basis for population growth.

As Country X has a crude birth rate of 40 and a crude death rate of 15, its population's natural increase rate is 25. In turn, Country Y has a crude birth rate of 20 and a crude death rate of 9, so its population's natural increase rate is 11. So, as we can see, Country X has a higher natural increase rate.

The main reason african countries had difficulty establishing democracies was because of poverty
Anna [14]
The answer is a) True


Since Independence, almost every African country has been plagued by the cycle of Poverty.


Poverty has led to the development of a culture of bribery and kickbacks in between almost every aspect of the government.


With little investment in education and health, the average person has suffered even more.


Many African countries have taken on billions of dollars of debt that they can never pay off.

This has resulted in a 'debt trap' where the little money a country is able to generate, has to be paid in the forms of loans.


Lack of government funds, poor infrastructure, low education, high corruption has also resulted in numerous local rebels and quasi-militia factions mushrooming to challenge what they see as failed governments.


When you combine all these factors, you can see how poverty has resulted in a Pandora's box of problems for African countries.
