  • An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault.When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Which of the following is a normal cultural characteristic of rural areas
Artemon [7]
I think the correct answer would be A. A normal cultural characteristic of rural areas would be having strong family values. Rural areas are areas where there are few homes and infrastructures and the distance for each buildings are more or less far from each other. This would mean that families tend to be more close to each since they are able to communicate to each other frequently.

Which of the following paraphrases Hubble Law?
77julia77 [94]
<h2>Answer: The greater the distance to a galaxy, the greater its redshift</h2>

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.  

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed the spectral lines were displaced towards the <u>red</u><u> </u>(red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the <u>blue</u>.  

From there, Hubble deduced that the farther the galaxy is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum, and noted that all galaxies are <em>"moving away from each other with a speed that increases with distance"</em>, and enunciated the now called<u> Hubble–Lemaître Law</u>.

This means in the past the distance between two galaxies was smaller than at present, being this the proof that <u>the universe is expanding</u> (like a balloon expands when it is filled with air or another gas).  

At this poitn it is important to stay clear that <u>the redshift is not produced by the relative movement of the galaxies with each other</u>.  This effect is in fact, due to the <u>own expansion of the space</u> among the galaxies.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: I would say C as well

Explanation: Physical factors that affect population distribution include altitude and latitude, relief, climate, soils, vegetation, water and location of mineral and energy resources. It is important to note that most of the physical factors influence population distribution only indirectly through climatic conditions.
