<span>It is a result of the township-and-range survey system. It is also referred to as rectangular survey system. It has been established in order to set boundaries for land parcels which is usually 24 miles square in area. This system of rectangles can specify and locate a land with meridians from north to south and baselines from east to west. </span>

Sort the characteristics based on whether they describe mass wasting, tsunamis, or both.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

  • 1. It can be triggered by tectonic plate movement.   -    <u>both</u>
  • 2. The name means "harbor wave."   -    <u>tsunamis</u>
  • 3. It’s movement of land triggered by gravity.   -    <u> mass wasting</u>
  • 4. Creep and topple are names for two types of this hazard.   -  <u>mass wasting</u>
  • 5. Scientists use deep ocean assessment and reporting (DART) to warn of this hazard.  -  <u>tsunamis</u>
  • 6. One example is mud flowing down a hill and onto a highway.    
  • <u>mass wasting</u>

Explanation:

  • The characteristics of the tsunamis are related to those associated with the shaking of the ground that is produced by the movement of the tectonic plates from below as in the event of the earthquakes and thus the sudden release of the violent energy create huge killer waves and they can also lead to the mass wasting phenomenon.
  • <u>Hence the process of mass wasting occurs due to the movement of the layers of them is under the flow of the gravity and is a hazard that is associated with the earthquakes.</u>

Adam, who is 5'6" tall, notices his shadow on the sidewalk. If the angle of elevation from the tip of the shadow to the sun is 6
german
<h2>Answer:</h2>

This problem can be solved using trigonomtry, assuming that the figure formed by Adam's shadow and Adam himself is a Right Triangle (as shown in the figure attached).


According to this,  the distance from the tip of the shadow to the top of Adam's head is the hypotenuse H of the triangle, and we already know Adam's height and the angle of elevation. So, the trigonometric function that best works in this case is sine:


sen(angle)=\frac{Oppositeleg}{hypotenuse}  


Where the opposite leg is the side of the triangle that is opposite to the 60\º angle.

In this especific case:


sen(60\º)=\frac{5.6feet}{H}     (1)


In order to know the value of the hypotenuse we have to find  H from equation (1):

H=\frac{5.6feet}{sen(60\º)}



H=6.4663 feet



Rounding:

H=6.46 feet>>>>>This is the distance from the tip of the shadow to the top of Adam's head

What would happen to the environment of Southeast Asia if the standard of living improved very quickly? Explain.
miv72 [106K]

Answer

<u>A rapid improvement in standard of living can mean rapid economic growth with increased population in towns resulting to damaged environment in form of pollution.</u>

Explanation

When the standard of living is associated with rapid growth of the economy, a common scenario is migration of people to urban areas to work and operate businesses. The urban areas will experience increased populations with inadequate housing. The environment will be suppressed because more forests will be cleared to give out spaces for new housing projects. In addition to that, the pollution levels will increase because more wastes will be generated.

Answer:

loss of volatiles to the atmosphere

Explanation:

volatiles are the group of chemical elements and chemical compounds with low boiling points that are associated with a planet's or moon's crust or atmosphere. Examples include nitrogen, water, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen, etc.

Volatiles were accreted throughout the Earth’s formation, but Earth’s early accretion history was volatile poor.
