Answer:
There are two major kinds of surface waves: Love waves, which are shear waves trapped near the surface, and Rayleigh waves, which have rock particle motions that are very similar to the motions of water particles in ocean waves.
Compose a paragraph explaining the problems with the United States government’s policies dealing with natural disasters in 2005. What did the country do to improve their policies?
Answer:
The disaster response plans are now integrated and administred by FEMA.
Explanation:
Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane that struck the southern United States between August 23-31, 2005. Katrina caused devastating damage to New Orleans, Lousiana, flooding 80% of the city and causing at least 1,836 deaths. The hurricane caused 125 billion in damages and rendered the city uninhabitable for weeks. It is considered one of the worst natural disasters in the modern history of the United States.
The government failed to respond adequately to the hurricane. Local and state authorities were quickly overwhelmed, and they weren't adequately prepared or equipped to provide relief or mantain order to the population of New Orleans. As a result of a lack of coordination, federal forces, including the military, were several days late. In order to solve this, future disaster response plans drawn up by local and state authorities are now integrated and administered by FEMA, the Federal Emergency anagement Agency. It is considered that a centralized approach would mean a quicker and swifter response to future natural disasters.

Which classification of star emits mostly blue light and less red light? Question 12 options:
B
G0
O
M
Answer: O
Explanation:
The stars which emit the most blue light are the hotter stars and O type stars are the hottest stars there are.
O stars are larger than every other star and have surface temperatures ranging above 25,000K as well as being extremely bright.
They therefore emit the most blue light and the least red light.

what are three different reasons oil sands are positive?
Answer: Here's your answer!!
1)The responsible development of oil sands is a key driver of Alberta's and Canada's economy. It creates jobs and tax revenue for the government which supports the social programs and capital infrastructure projects we rely on.
2)Crude oil derived from the oil sands is refined into products, such as gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel, which keep us warm, power our industries, and help us move about the country and the world (not to mention cooking those turkeys). With conventional oil supply declining, the need for oil sands is increasing.
3)A strong oil sands sector drives a strong national economy by attracting capital, creating jobs, and supporting public services. ... Local companies in every province supply goods and services to the oil sands—creating jobs, growth and economic opportunity in local communities!
Hope its helpful!

What sources of data are used by demographers? Be sure to explain the information that each source provides to the demographer.
Answer:
Some demographic data sources are surveys, samples, census measurements, fieldwork, and observation. When using surveys, demographers research through asking questions to select members of the population.
Explanation:
just took quiz
Answer:
Surveys, samples, census measurements, fieldwork, and observation are a few sources of demographic data. Demographers do research by choosing individuals of the population and then asking them questions.
Demographers use samples to examine a small percentage of the population as a sample group before applying statistics to the entire population. Demographers are able to collect information from every member of a population using census measurements. Studies and surveys are carried out in the population itself via fieldwork (rather than in isolation). In order to better comprehend a population, observation is used to track and document its actions.

Explanation:
Earthquake A has a magnitude of 4.2. Earthquake B has a magnitude of 6.1. Which statement could explain the different magnitudes?
A:The seismic waves caused by earthquake B traveled more slowly
B:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B was deeper underground
C:The seismic waves caused by earthquake B all traveled in the same direction
D:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B released more energy
Answer:
D:The rock that shifted to cause earthquake B released more energy
Explanation:
The magnitude of an earthquake is a function of the intensity of the earthquake and energy it releases.
An earthquake is a sudden movement within the earth which causes a release of energy.
The magnitude of earthquakes is reported by the intensity of the quakes from the source. Earthquakes with a high intensity will have a high energy.Answer:

Answer these questions:-a.The earth takes 4minutes to cover 1 degree longitude.B.Time in Nepal is GET plus 5:45 and time in Japan is GMT plus 9 which clearly means Japan is ahead in time than Nepal . Therefore,we need to advance our clock when we go to Japan from Nepal.C.There are 360 degrees of longitude are there in total.D.Nepal is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of GET,because it sets the meridian of Nepal standard time at Gaurishankhar,a mountain east of Kathmandu.
Give reason:-c.ans:-The sun rises in Ilam about half an hour earlier than in kanchanpur because Kanchanpur and Ilam are both districts of Nepal which are situated in two different areas of the Nepal.The Ilam is situated in the eastern part of Nepal and the Kanchanpur is situated in the western part of the Nepal . For this same reason the sunrise of Islam is earlier than the Kanchanpur.

What is the importance of oceanic and continental waters?
The energy that produces ocean waves comes from a. the rise and fall of the tides. b. rivers flowing into the ocean. c. wind blowing across the water’s surface. d. rock falling into the ocean along the shore. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Answer:
the answer is c
Explanation:
i just took the test
Ocean waves are primarily generated by the transfer of energy from the wind blowing across the water, creating ripples that develop into larger waves. Therefore, option c is correct.
Ocean waves are the rhythmic undulations of water on the surface of the sea, generated mainly by the transfer of energy from the wind's force acting upon the water.
As the wind blows across the ocean's surface, it creates friction, causing water molecules to move in a circular motion. This circular movement propagates energy outward, forming waves that travel across vast distances.
Ocean waves vary in size, shape, and strength, influenced by factors such as wind speed, duration, and fetch (the distance over which the wind blows). Waves play a vital role in shaping coastal ecosystems and influencing weather patterns.
Therefore, option c is correct.

Which type of mountains form when stress causes rocks to crack into parts that move past each other?

Which of the following is true about coastal breezes?
They can blow from one direction in the morning, and from the opposite direction in the evening.
They are caused from differences in temperature of the land and the ocean.
0 Coastal breezes form when hot ocean air sinks below cold land air
Both a and b are correct
Answer:
They can blow from one direction in the morning, and from the opposite direction in the evening, and they are caused from differences in temperature of the land and the ocean.
Explanation:
The coastal breezes are breezes that occur near the coastlines. The general rule for the direction of the wind implies here as well as in any other place in the world, the wind blows from an area with higher air pressure toward an area with lower air pressure. When it comes to the coastal regions, because they have two contrasting landscapes, the wind changes direction during the day.
The land and the water have different properties, with the land heating up much faster and cooling off much faster, while the water heats and cools off slowly. This leads to larger oscillations in the temperature on land and with it larger oscillations in air pressure, while the temperature oscillations in the water are small and with it, the air pressure has much lower oscillation. When the land heats up, the wind blows from the ocean toward land because the air pressure is higher above the water, but when the land is cooler, the wind blows from the land toward the ocean because the air pressure is higher above the land.
