Why is Mexico City especially vulnerable to earthquakes? Mexico City was built on soft soil, which means that the energy from ea

rthquakes is transferred into the buildings on the surface. The coast of Mexico is on the edge of two tectonic plates, which results in frequent earthquakes. Mexico is home to several volcanoes, and when they erupt, they cause earthquakes. A and B only (thought it was this one..) A, B, and C

The correct answer is - The coast of Mexico is on the edge of two tectonic plates, which results in frequent earthquakes.

Mexico is located on a geologically very active place. From both the eastern and western side, there are borders between tectonic plates, which contributes to the creation of lots of earthquakes, as well as volcanic activity. Because Mexico is not very wide in east-west manner, when an earthquake strikes on the shores, or further mainland, it is felt from one shore to the other, and Mexico City is in the middle of it all, thus it is very often affected by earthquakes.

Which of the following must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams? A) sea level drops; land subsides B) sea levelf
Ahat [919]

Answer:

A) sea level drops; land subsides

Explanation:

The sea is the final destination of all streams on land. All streams empty into seas which are the basins that collects all terrestrial materials.

The base level is the lowest level to which a river can erode its channel. The base level is greatly influenced by what happens to a sea.

When a river reaches its base level, erosion ceases. If a river is young and set above its base level, we see a rapid rate of erosion.

A sea, the final basin of depostion of rivers controls the base level to a very large extent. When there is a tectonic movement and a sea subsides. It becomes more deeper and lower. Sea level also falls and materials grades seaward. A river would cut rapidly along its channel and its bed to measure up to the level of the ocean.

Therefore, we see a very rapid rate of erosion of channels when sea level falls and the earth sags downward. This would lead to a lower base level.

When sea level rises and there is a tectonic uplift, rivers erode their channels less and begins to aggrade materials. The base level also rises.
