Geologists study the density of seismic activity in a region by comparing the number of earthquakes to the area of the region. T

he seismic activity density of a region is found using the formula: seismic activity density = StartFraction number of earthquakes Over area of land affected EndFraction. The state of California covers approximately 103,718 mi2, and has a seismic activity density of 0. 0964 earthquakes per square mile. The state of Alaska covers approximately 570,641 mi2, and has a seismic activity density of 0. 491. Using this data and rounding to the nearest whole number, Alaska had more earthquakes than California for the year. Why would the seismic activity density of the year for Alaska be smaller than for California if Alaska had more earthquakes?.

The seismic activity density of the year for Alaska will be smaller than that of California if Alaska has more land area than California.

It should be noted that the seismic activity of a region simply means the ratio of the number of earthquakes that occur in the period to the land area.

Based on the information given, the seismic activity density of the year for Alaska will be smaller than for California if Alaska had more land area. From the complete question, the number of earthquakes from the information given will be 18020 earthquakes.

How does the over use of inorganic chemical affecting land and vegetation?​
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Fertilizers are examples of this.

Many fertilizers are inorganic meaning that they are generally not eco-friendly. So what happens when people over use inorganic chemicals on the land? Many things. First off, there’s contamination. When it rains, the chemicals are carried off into rivers, streams etc. by the runoff. The land is also affected by them because some of the chemicals are harmful and sometimes they cause the land to become infertile, so it can no longer be used.

Hope this helps and pls mark me brainliest :)

Identify the TRUE statement. Question 19 options: The variety of different wave frequencies (the frequency content) of an earthq
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

C. Low-frequency seismic waves cause more ground acceleration than do high-frequency waves.

Explanation:

Low-frequency seismic waves covers more distance as compared to high-frequency waves because high frequency wave provide more energy to the medium while low frequency waves supply less energy to the medium so which makes the wave to go further. Lower frequency waves "penetrate" into a materials better, because energy particles having lower frequencies having less energy and they pass through the medium without interacting with the matter.
