From the excerpt: A017) Strike-Slip Faults - Kazakhstan.
Sense of offset along the fault is RIGHT LATERAL and this is because the fault present there is known as Dzhungarian Fault which is either right lateral or dextral strike-slip fault. with an extension of 300 km from the Dzhungarian basin.
If an earthquake measures 1.5 on the Richter Scale, what is the intensity of this earthquake, relative to a 0-level earthquake? Round off your answer to the nearest integer.
Answer:
Intensity depends on the distance form the ground and source of energy.
Explanation:
Earth quake that has an intensity of 1.5 on the Richter scale can be detected only through the seismograph. The earthquake with an intensity of 0 levels on the Richter scale that is below micro will not be felt or rarely felt in scale. This can be defied by the Richter scale formula of R=log(IcIn), Ic is the intensity and In is the intensity if the standards earthquake. Hence the difference will be R2−R1=log(I2I1)In the three-cell model of global circulation, surface winds converge in the vicinity of: Group of answer choices subtropical highs the polar front the horse latitudes the north and south poles

Which statement describes the Richter scale
According to the question, Richter Scale gauges fault movement during an earthquake. Therefore Option A is correct.
What is Richter Scale?
American seismologists Charles F. Richter and Beno Gutenberg invented the Richter scale (ML), a numerical indicator of an earthquake's size, in 1935. The height of the most significant seismic wave, as measured by the logarithm of its amplitude (height), is used to calculate the earthquake's magnitude.
Given that the Richter scale is logarithmic, whole-number leaps represent a tenfold increase. The rise in this instance is in wave amplitude.
In other words, a level 6 earthquake has a wave amplitude that is 10 times bigger than a level 5 earthquake, and between a level 7 earthquake and a level 9 earthquake, the amplitude increases by 100 times. Between whole number values, the energy emitted increases 31.7 times.
Hence, Richter Scale gauges fault movement during an earthquake.

Geomagnetic reversals __________. Group of answer choices Provide strong evidence for sea floor spreading Reveal that polar wandering may have occurred. Were discovered by the Deep Sea Drilling Project Confirmed the existence of subduction zones Cause the movement of plates
Answer:
The answer is "Provide strong evidence for seafloor spreading".
Explanation:
The magnetic changes from east to west and vice versa are geomagnetic. geomagnetic reversals. And they can provide significant evidence of the expansion of sea bed in the rocks formed along the middle sea ridges by documenting the geomagnetic pattern of echo.
A new crust is developing from the magma explosion into the seafloor in the ocean along the mid-oceanic ridges along the mid-ocean ridges. When the magma cools, the minerals of ferromagnetism found in the magma will align as per the magnetosphere of this time.
In the event of geomagnetical revolutions, newly formed minerals will be reverse-aligned to early elements, thus registering the lithosphere on both sides of the mid-oceanic ridge. Lithosphere, one could argue, is a continual move away from oceanic crusts midway through.

D.
It is equal to about 2 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
Answer:
B.) It is equal to about 1 times the mean absolute deviation of either data set.
Explanation:
Given the scores :
Williams :
89,97, 78, 81, 91
Andre :
90, 74, 73, 87, 82
The mean scores :
Mean = ΣX / n
William's mean score = 436 / 5 = 87.2
Mean absolute deviation :
[|89-87.2| + |97-87.2| + |78-87.2| +|81-87.2| + |91-87.2|] / 5
William's mean absolute deviation = 6.16
Andre's mean score = 406 / 5 = 81.2
Andre's mean absolute deviation =
[|90-81.2| + |74-81.2| + |73-81.2| +|87-81.2| + |82-81.2|] / 5 = 6.16
Difference of the mean = 87.2 - 81.2 = 6
Mean absolute deviation of each dataset = 6.16

Population pressure on resources has been particularly damaging in the case of tropical rainforest ecosystem. Discus
Answer:Yes
Explanation:
Increase of population increases the demand of resources that contributes to forestal degradation, forestal loss, an increased population density, and increasing deforestation. This is partly because they are encroaching upon the land and cutting down its trees for the land as well as to use for fuel. This also effects the creatures that live in the forest by taking away their home.
The Mt. St Helens eruption in Washington state m 1980 measured 5 on the volcanic exclusivity index (VEI). Only 57 people died from the Mt. St Helens since most people were warned to evacuate the area prior to the event, Four years later, in 1985, del Ruiz in Colombia erupted. While only measuring 3 on the VEI, the eruption resulted in 25,000 deaths when unsuspecting residents of local towns were overrun by fast-moving lahars. Which of the following statements about volcano-related deaths best fit the information given in the paragraph?
a. Volcanic eruptions often kill thousands of people.
b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.
c. Most volcano-related deaths occur from lahars.
d. The death toll from a volcanic eruption is directly related to its volcanic exclusivity index (VEl).
Answer:
b. The death toll from volcanic eruptions do not always correlate to exclusivity, and can be affected by human actions before and after the eruption.
Explanation:
Many volcanic eruptions don't kill anyone. This is because most active volcanoes are well-known to local residents, who give them appropriate respect.
Lahars are deadly, but so are pyroclastic flows, and releases of ash and/or poison gases. The two deadliest eruptions in recorded history caused death by starvation and tsunami.
The point of the paragraph was that the VEI was not directly related to the number of deaths.
1) What areas in South Asia have good soil and why?
2) what benefits has the green revolution brought to south asia?
3) What religion first emerged in south asia
4) why did partition take place in india?
5) what problems are caused by south asia’s growing population?
Answer:
1) The Indo-Gangetic Plain is one of the most fertile farming regions in the world. The Indo-Gangetic Plain is also the most heavily populated part of South Asia. In fact, the area contains about three-fifths of India's population.
The Indo-Gangetic Plains of India consists largely of alluvial deposits which are brought down by the rivers originating from the Himalayas and the peninsular region. The alluvial soil is fertile in nature. The rich deposits of this soil make this area suitable for agriculture.
2) From the late 1960s the Green Revolution transformed agricultural production, food security and livelihoods in South and Southeast Asia. The outcomes of this transformation are still being felt throughout the region.
3) South Asia is the seat of many of the world's great religious traditions, most notably Buddhism, Hinduism, jainism and Islam. Buddhism was established in the fifth century B.C.E

Gravitational waves are best observed with the Hubble Space Telescope.
a. This statement does not make sense. We do not have technologies for direct observations of gravitational waves.
b. This statement is clearly true. The HST firstly observed the gravitational waves from the merge of two black holes in 2015.
c. This statement does make sense. As a space telescope, the HST can be used as an interferometer with a very long base and can detect tiny distortions of space.
d. This statement is clearly false. The HST observes visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves.
Answer: This statement is clearly false. The HST observes visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves.
Explanation:
Gravitational waves refers to ripples in spacetime. The statement that gravitational waves are best observed with the Hubble Space Telescope is false.
This is because the Hubble Space Telescope is used in observing visible and infrared light, not gravitational waves. The telescope has helped scientists to understand how the planets are formed.

explain why some children in India do not get access to education, even though the Indian government have made education compulsory and free for all children 6-14 years of age.
Answer:
Explanation:
Search out Greg Mortenson on the internet. With the help of a ghost writer, he wrote Three Cups of Tea. It has moved a great many people including me. It is the story of a mountain climber who wandered aimlessly in the a poor region of Pakistan (but the same comments apply to India). He collapsed in a village where, had he landed anywhere else, he likely would have been left to die.
Eventually after dealing with all sorts of problems (including the Taliban), he comes to realize that the only way out of poverty the people of this village endured (and many others like it) was education. From that moment on, he dedicated himself to raising money to build schools in areas like the one that found him. His firm belief was that Education was the only answer.
I think the answer to your question is isolation. Some areas of India are just too isolated and too poor to do anything about education. A whole much better description is in 3 cups of tea and if you are serious about your question, you will find it and read it.
Regional Geography lays emphasis on the distinctiveness of a particular place an the characteristics or activities that make up the that location. With specific examples from Ghana and knowledge acquired im the regional Geography of Ghana course so far, discuss the above sentence
Answer:
Place has a prime importance in distribution of economic activates.
Explanation:
Regional geography is a part of geography that studies various regions and studies the specific unique characters of the place. It is related to the topography and economy of the place. A place such as Ghana is located on the African western coast. Located in the gulf of guinea this country lies near the equator and thus has a warm climate. Due to its location, the prime meridian passes through the country. Ghana is rich in natural resources and has a mixed economy with rapid population growth. Petroleum accounts for a large share of exports.All of the following describe likely air mass source regions in the summer EXCEPT: Group of answer choices the subtropical Western Atlantic Ocean Northern Mexico the Central United States the subtropical Eastern Pacific Ocean
Answer: the Central United States
Explanation:
Air mass regions in the summer are usually around the middle latitudes of the Earth which means that they are closer to the Equator. This includes subtropical regions of the world including the subtropical Eastern Pacific and Western Atlantic Oceans.
Northern Mexico is also quite close to the middle latitudes so the most logical answer from the options is Central U.S. because it is the furthest from the equator and the middle latitudes of Earth.
