Which factor is the primary reason urbanization occurs?
Answer:
Population growth is the primary reason for urbanization to occurs.
Explanation:
When there is an increase in the population of an area, there is a subsequent decrease in the availability of regional resources. Owing to the scarcity of resources, populations migrate to the urban areas in search of opportunities to fetch more resources to themselves. This eventually leads to greater degree of urbanization of the already urban area. Urban areas expand to make room for more population resulting in more urbanization.increased birth rate
How many times more energy does an earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 8 release than an earthquake
with a Richter magnitude of 7?
a) About 2 times more energy
b) About 31 times more energy
c) About 961 times more energy
d) About 1,000,000 times more energy
Answer:
b) About 31 times more energy
Explanation:
Lot of people get confused with the way in which the earthquake magnitude is calculated. The scale for measuring the earthquakes is logarithmic, so every whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in the measured amplitude. This results in every consecutive whole number the earthquake to be 33 times more powerful than the previous one, so the difference in power between magnitude 7 and magnitude 8 is 33 times. If we take magnitudes that are not consecutive numbers, like magnitude 6 and magnitude 8, then the difference in power will be around 1,000 times.

Explanation:
Answer: 1. The moon is about the same age as Earth
2. The moon lacks a sizable iron core
3. Galaxies
4. Hydrogen and helium gas
5. Venus
Explanation: 1. The Moon is about 4.53 billion years while The Earth is about 4.543 billion years. Therefore, both The Moon and The Earth are about the same age.
2. The giant impact hypothesis suggests that the Moon formed out of the debris left over from a collision between Earth and an astronomical body the size of Mars, approximately 4.5 billion years ago, in the Hadean eon. It has 7 pieces of evidence and one is that "The Moon has a relatively small iron core".
3. The solar system comprises of The Sun, Stars, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (major planet), dwarf planets ( including Pluto), moons, asteroid, comets, meteoroids.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial planets ( inner planets closest to The Sun). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are Jovian planets.
The solar system is rather found in of the galaxies (The Milky Way).
4. Jovian planets are made of gas or ice. Helium and hydrogen are gases and they are the main components found in them.
5. Venus is the hottest planet even though it is the second closest to the sun. The temperature is about 464ºC.
It is expected that Mercury should be the hottest due to it is the closest but it doesn't have any atmosphere, and atmosphere helps to hold and trap heat. Hence, the heat in Mercury is quickly lost into space. While Venus has a thick atmosphere and it is able to absorb all the heat from the Sun.
Rocks that make up the _____ partially melted and are able to flow.
a) lithosphere.
b) asthenosphere.
c) Inner core.
d) crust.
Answer:
b) asthenosphere because it says flow
Rocks that make up the Asthenosphere partially melted and are able to flow.
Explanation:
Earth is made up of different layers. In the mantle, there are again different parts. One of the upper parts named asthenosphere just lies below lithosphere.
The upper part of the asthenosphere is the zone where the lithospheric plates of earth's crusts moves. Due to the pressure and temperature of the conditions in the asthenosphere, the rocks become ductile which then moves at the rates of deformation.The flow is as a convection current which radiates heat away from the interior of the earth.
We have learned that the geologic time units are eons, eras, periods, and epochs. What are some ordinary time units that we use everyday? How do ordinary time units relate to geological time units??
Answer:
Today, Tomorrow, and Yesterday.
These usually just refer to our time zone based on where we live for example it may be May 20 where you live but it can be May 21 where someone on the other side of the Earth lives.
Some ordinary time units that we use every day include seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. These ordinary time units relate to geological time units by their scale and purpose.
Geological time units are vast periods used to describe the history of the Earth, whereas ordinary time units are much shorter and are used for everyday activities and scheduling. The relationship between these two types of time units is one of scale and context:
Seconds, minutes, and hours are used for short-term planning and timekeeping in human activities.
Days, weeks, and months often correspond to cycles in nature, such as the Earth's rotation on its axis (day and night) and its revolution around the Sun (seasons and years).
Years are used to mark longer human activities and natural cycles, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and seasonal changes.
In contrast, geological time units are defined by significant events in Earth's history, such as mass extinctions or the appearance of new life forms, and they span millions to billions of years:
Eons are the longest geological time divisions, encompassing billions of years.
Eras are subdivisions of eons and span hundreds of millions of years.
Periods are subdivisions of eras and typically last tens of millions of years.
Epochs are subdivisions of periods and usually represent several million years.
The comparison of these time scales highlights the immense duration of geological processes compared to human timekeeping. For example, the current epoch, the Holocene, began approximately 11,700 years ago, a timespan that is nearly impossible to grasp on a day-to-day basis. Geological time units are determined through methods such as radiometric dating, fossil records, and the study of rock layers (stratigraphy), which provide evidence for the sequence and duration of past events on Earth.
Which activity is NOT a sustainable human activity?
A
Farming
B
Fishing
C
Mining for minerals
Answer:
c mining for minerals
Explanation:
Sustainable activity
sustainable development is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Examples are as follows:
sustaining the potential of natural and physical resources (excluding minerals) to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations; and
safeguarding the life-supporting capacity of air, water, soil, and ecosystems; and
avoiding, remedying, or mitigating any adverse effects of activities on the environment
Basically farming & fishing do not compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. But mining a minerals (which have a limited supply) will compromise future generations.
Mining for minerals activity is not a sustainable human activity. option (C) is correct.
What is a mineral?A mineral is a naturally becoming unstructured element or compounds having an orderly internal structure and characteristic chemical composition, crystal form, and physical properties. Common minerals include quartz, felspar, mica, mineral, olivine, and spar.
Development that satisfies current demands without compromising the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs is referred to as sustainable development. Following are some examples
conserving the capacity of natural and physical resources (aside from minerals) to satisfy the reasonably foreseeable demands of future generations
Therefore, option (C) is correct.

Why is some of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef white?
Answer:
The earth climate is changing and became very hot, and the waters on rivers and oceans are becoming warmer. Corals that live in tropical coral reefs are very sensitive, and they don't survive with big temperature changes. Inside the coral lives a very small alga, that gives the colours and also energy to the corals, with the high temperature of the waters, this algae die, and make the corals lose their colours and if the temperature doesn't return to normal they die.
Explanation:
Algae is the main reason for the color of the corals and when algae is not present, the corals become white.
Explanation:
The rising temperatures of sea water are the reason why some corals of the Great Barrier Reef are white. Higher temperatures of water cause bleaching of the corals. During bleaching, the corals lose their color because the coral polyps expel the algae that live in them. Algae not only provide color but also energy to the corals and after bleaching they may not be active.

Explanation:Plate divergence is best described as a/an ___ process
Answer:
Plate divergence is best described as a/an __constructive_ process
Explanation:
Divergence of lithospheric plates is a constructive process. Plate margins that moves apart brings new materials to the crust.
Divergent margins are regions in which new crustal rocks forms. Example is the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Away from the margins, the rock units becomes older. At the margin, the rocks are very young and still hot.
The addition of magma at divergent margins makes them constructive regions on earth.
_______ stress of a fault occurs when slabs of rock are being pulled apart from each other.
A. Tension
B. Shear
C. Uniform
D. Compression
Tension stress of a fault occurs when slabs of rock are pulled apart from each other.
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Rocks and Scattered stones that are being pulled apart from each other is known as tension stress, which is also called as extension. The tension causes the stones to elongate or fall apart. It is the most important type of stress occurring at various board boundaries.
The stress is shear when the forces operate in parallel, but in opposite directions. It is the element of stresses vertical to a given surface, such as surface cracking due to forces acting to the surface or external forces transferred by the surrounding rock.

How did Britain's trade practices impact India?
Write your response in two to three complete sentences.
The main goal of the British invasion of India was the wealth that they were going to get through trade. The British had already developed the industry, so they were able to create final goods very quickly, efficiently, and cheaply. By having India under their control, the British were able to take the natural resources and raw materials for free or for very low prices, manufacture them, and then sell them in India or other places for much higher prices. This type of trade led to accumulation of lot of wealth by the British. They were getting the natural resources and materials for almost nothing, and then they were selling the products in the places from where they took away the natural resources and raw materials. This led to loss of natural resources and raw materials for little to no compensation, while also paying for the final products, so India, as many other colonies was very negatively impacted by this way of trade.

A magnitude 4.0 earthquake releases just over_
a 2.0 magnitude earthquake.
Answer:
The magnitude scale is logarithmic. That just means that if you add 1 to an earthquake's magnitude, you multiply the shaking by 10. For example, if the magnitude of one quake is 6 and another is 4, than the difference in magnitudes is 2, so the stronger earthquake shakes 10^2 or 100 times as hard as the milder one
Which factors affect solubility? Check all that apply.
pressure
color
temperature
chemical properties
flavor
answer:
temperature
pressure
chemical properties
Solubility is influenced mainly by temperature, pressure, and the chemical properties of the solute and solvent. Gas solubility decreases with increasing temperature but increases with higher pressure. The types of intermolecular forces present due to the chemical structures of the solute and solvent are key in determining solubility.
Explanation:The factors that affect solubility are primarily temperature, pressure, and chemical properties of the substances involved. For gases, solubility typically decreases as temperature increases. However, for most solids and liquids, solubility tends to increase with higher temperatures. When it comes to gases, pressure also plays a significant role; according to Henry's Law, there is a direct relationship between the pressure of a gas and its solubility in a liquid.
The chemical properties of the solute and solvent, like the types of intermolecular forces between them, are crucial for solubility too. For instance, solubility can vary greatly depending on whether the solvent is a polar liquid like water or a nonpolar liquid like hexane. This is why oxygen has different solubility levels in water compared to hexane.

The correct answer is D. One with a high heat capacity
Explanation:
In chemistry and related fields, the heat capacity of a liquid refers to the amount of heat that is required for the liquid to change its temperature, in this way, substances with a low heat capacity will become hotter or colder in a short time because the molecules in them are more susceptible to heat and retain it.
This implies, in the case presented the liquid that would be most difficult to raise or lower the temperature of is one with a high heat capacity because this factor rather than density is the one that affects how fast a liquid loses or gains heat. Also, if a liquid has a high heat capacity as it occurs with water it takes some time for it to experience changes in temperature.

Where are subduction zones likely to form?
A. Between two diverging continental plates
B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates
C. Between diverging oceanic and continental plates
D. Between two diverging oceanic plates
Answer:
B. Between converging oceanic and continental plates
Explanation:
Subduction happens when a tectonic plate slides under another one.
For this to occur, the two plates have to be converging towards each other.
The plates running towards each other are usually an oceanic plate converging towards a continental plate, since continental plates are too far apart and separated by oceanic plates. It could happen between two oceanic plates... but that's really an exception.
Diverging plates are not causing any subduction since they are running away from each other. Just by that fact, you can eliminate the answers A, C and D.
Answer:
B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging
Explanation:
A subduction zone is a region of multilevel tectonic plate movements in which one plate moves under another and is forced or submerged by gravity into the mantle. Stable subduction zones involve oceanic lithosphere from one plate sliding below the continental lithosphere or another oceanic plate due to higher oceanic lithosphere density. That is, the subducted lithosphere is always oceanic while the overlapping lithosphere may or may not be oceanic.
Convergent is a plate movement where the plates move toward each other where the force acting on this motion is the compressional force. Subduction is part of convergent movement. Areas that are above this subduction zone will usually occur volcanism and also earthquakes with high intensity.
So the correct answer is B. Between oceanic plates and continents converging

What does the theory of plate tectonics explain that continental drift theory could not explain?
A.
unusual distribution of fossils in the Southern Hemisphere
B.
evidence of glaciation in the plains of Africa
C. movement of continents despite the dense oceanic floor
D. the jigsaw-like fit of the continents
The theory of plate tectonics explains how the movement of continents is possible by offering a mechanism whereby Earth's crust, divided into several plates, floats atop a semi-fluid layer of Earth's mantle. In contrast, the older continental drift theory lacked an explanation for this movement.
The theory of plate tectonics was a significant advance over the older continental drift theory. This is because the former explains how the movement of continents is possible, giving a mechanism that the continental drift theory lacked.The key difference is that the continental drift theory suggested continents moved across a static ocean floor, but without explaining the mechanism behind this movement. Contrastingly, the theory of plate tectonics offers a mechanism by suggesting that the Earth's crust is divided into several large 'plates', which float atop a semi-fluid layer of the Earth's mantle. The movement of these plates, due to underlying convection currents in the mantle, results in the measurable drift of continents over time.In response to the question, answer C: 'movement of continents despite the dense oceanic floor' is what the theory of plate tectonics could explain that the continental drift theory could not.Learn more about Plate Tectonics here:
