Answer:

The correct answer is: a) it relies on testimony from people.

Explanation:

The Mercalli intensity scale, unlike the Richter scale, does not directly measure the energy of an earthquake. Rather, it takes into account the damage and effects that the earthquake caused. When there is little damage, it relies on the testimony of people who felt the earthquake, which may vary and is ultimately subjective to people's perception.

The Mercalli Intensity Scale ranges from "Not felt" to "Catastrophic" going through 12 scale intensities.

Define atmospheric wind shear, and explain how the existence of wind shear creates eddies and air pockets that cause atmospheric
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Wind Shear is the difference in direction and speed of the wind in the atmosphere within a specific distance.

Explanation:

Eddies are generated when  winds goes over a mountain creating vertical shear on the side that is sheltered from it, that creates air pockets causing atmospheric turbulence know as "rotors".

The change of direction and wind speed with altitude variation is called Vertical wind shear.

The change in wind speed together with a change in lateral position at a certain altitude is called Horizontal wind shear.

One scenario is a mountain with down-bursts and micro-bursts creating ice crystal plumes clouds that could warn pilots of wind shear, allowing then to avoid accidents.

U.S., India, and China, are the areas of heavy emissions of carbondioxide gas due to areas of dense population. These three countries have about half of the world  population i. e. approx. 3 billions of people so vehicles and industries are high in number which releases the greenhouse gases such as carbondioxide and carbonmonoxide while heavy emissions of carbondioxide gas occurs from Germany because there is huge number of industries are there so that's why it is called the industrial heart of Europe.
