According to the information presented in the graph, the earthquake occurred at 9:37 am.

The graph shows the relationship between the time (minutes) and the distance (km) that the P waves of an earthquake took to travel.

This graph shows two lines, a red one representing the S wave and a blue one representing the P wave.

According to this graph, the earthquake waves took about 3 minutes to travel the 2000km where they were first detected.

So the answer is 9:37 am, because at 9:40 am I had already traveled 2000 km.

Discuss the issue of the sea level that is rising due to the increase of polar ice melting ( incorporate various populations of

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

As discussed below.

Explanation:

The melting of the sea ice and rise in global temperature are having a profound impact on the distribution of land and water ration of the earth as much of the land is concentrated in the northern hemispheres and the rest of the areas are oceanic waters.

The presence of warm global temperature in the seas and continue expansion of the bottoms are thus spading this effect as a rise in 1 to 3 degrees caused a severe rise in the oceanic basins and this cause more salinity in the rivers and an increase in the global cooling staking over the oceans.

The population of freshwater and marine water is badly affected many species of corals have already died and a catastrophic bleaching has occurred on the western coast of Australia. Thus it poses a severe threat to the marine biology and ecology of the pant is due impacted by this.

More and more species are getting extinct and habits are getting lost and the planet is getting more heated and drastic release of temperature is causing more in tectonic movement in the polar areas.
