Answer:

B. solar day is the successive appearances of the Sun on our meridian.

Explanation:

  • This is calculated by the position of the sun on the horizon and the unit of measuring solar time is a day. Thus the successive appearance of the sun on the meridian for consecutive days is thus not possible, as the 24 hours format is applied.
  • As apparent from the sun being measured from the earth the solar time caused due to the motion of the actual sun, this is caused due to the two factors like the earth's orbital motion and the axial tilt.
  • Further summons a constant speed, along the celestial equator and its speed are the same as the average speed of the sun.

Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.

hoa [83]

Answer

<u>Neither the distance nor the direction of the epicenter from station 1</u>

Explanation

A single seismic reading received at station 1 only will tell the observer that the ground shook at that location and the intensity. Without other data  and information, the observer cannot make any other meaningful conclusions. A minimum of three seismograph stations are required before an observer can determine/ conclude meaningful results.
