her is this from google
"A system of temporary reference points established in the field allows users to move freely within the study area without losing the geo-referencing. It allows the user to perform the mapping of trees, deadwood, transects, repeated measurements and data verification."
The Earthquake epicenter is located next to the Japanese islands, as it is seen and labeled on the picture.
The tectonic plate that is to the right and below the epicenter is the Pacific Plate- this is easy to see on the picture.
The plate to the left is a little more confusing, but if you look closely, it is the Okhotsk plate- you know this because there are no boundaries between the name of the plate and the epicenter.
Answer: B
Thermal Stress will weaken rock formations due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes.
Answer:
Atmospheric pressure decreases as altitude increases.
Explanation:
- The reason that an aneroid barometer is able to measure both the altitude and the atmospheric pressure is due to the face that the as air rise up its atmospheric pressure decrease. When measured form the means sea levels and on the ground, the surface the pressure is more thus the device can tell this difference.
- <u>This instrument is essential for the weather analysis and matching the atmospheric pressure to the altitude. The average pressure on the earth's surface varies from 940 to 1040 Pascal. Thus the air becomes thinner as we move up the altitude.</u>
