Answer:
It estimates the total energy released from an earthquake
Explanation:
The Richter scale was developed in the early half of the 1930s but seismologists from the US, namely, Charles Richter and Beno Gutenburg. The scale is essentially a logarithmic scale that calculates/estimates the largest peak of energy released during an earthquake. This peak is than proscribed a number from 1 to 10 on the scale with each number denoting the strength of an earthquake as 10 times the strength of the number below it. It accounts for movenent along the fault length (since that is essentially an earthquake) and the the Richter magnitude is calculated using a seismograph. Therefore, an earthquake that cannot be located on a seismograph cannot be incorporated on the Richter scale. There is no such directly proportionality between magnitude and amount of damage since a small earthquake in a densely populated area can cause way more damage than a strong earthquake is a desserted region. Furthermore, Richter scale determines the magnitude which impacts damage. Its not the other way round

What is the future of the Mogollon Rim (edge of the plateau around Promontory Butte)? (Consider the gradients of the streams above and below the Rim, and their contrasting erosion potentials.) (6 points)\
Answer:
The Mogollon Rim will be eroded back to the northeast due to Christopher Creek.
Explanation:
This question refers to the Promontory Butte of Arizona map.
The Mogollon Rim is the edge of the plateau around Promontory Butte, the main cliff of which is an erosional escarpment.
The Mogollon Rim is a steeply sloping cliff that rises from 1,000 to 7,500 feet at its upper edge.
Groundwater flow in the area is generally northeast to southwest. The Mogollon Rim tends to have greater rainfall and snow which provides greater volumes of recharge to the groundwater systems both north and south of the Rim.

Zoom in and look at Sample F in detail. This igneous rock contains at least 50% of a dark greenish grey mineral that has been identified as calcium rich plagioclase. There is also about an equal amount of a dark greenish black mineral that forms a texture of interlocking crystals with the plagioclase. Thinking of Bowen's Reaction Series, the dark greenish black mineral would most likely be _________________________.
a. pyroxene (augite)
b. amphibole (hornblende)
c. biotite
d. muscovite
Answer:
a. pyroxene (augite)
Explanation:
Pyroxene is a mineral which is found in igneous and metamorphic rocks of the earth crust. They are dark green in color. their formation needs high degree of temperature and high pressure. Pyroxene is made up of silicon as a major element but some elements also present in it such as Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Al and Ti. Its chemical formula is (Ca,Na)(Mg,Fe,Al,Ti)(Si,Al)2O6.
You are spending the month of July hiking and biking in the Rocky Mountains, in the western US state of Colorado. Based on concepts, explain why you would typically plan your daily rides and hikes in the morning hours to minimize the chances of being caught in bad weather?
Answer:
The answer is given below.
Explanation:
This may be because mostly during summertime, the intense temperatures of sunlight help to prevent an unstable climate because the excess heat of the surface wind is being warmed up as well as migrate up to meet cold air throughout the wind upwards which prevent storms across high ground. It is also a good idea to go out on a camping or riding bikes mostly in mountains during the summertime.

Explanation:
b) its the longest day of the year
A. You are travelling on a summer solstice if you have experienced the longer day in the Northern hemisphere and about to experience the shortest day on the southern hemisphere.
First of the rotation of the North and South hemisphere is what gives us seasons. Summer solstice is the year's longest day and its shortest night.
B. To explain this phenomenon, I would tell this person that the sun is at it farthest position from the sun in the North and it goes on the farthest path. This far movement is the reason for the long day.

The passage states that "rising ocean temperatures also affect the ecosystems in the coral reef, throwing off the delicate balance that allows so many species to coexist." Explain how rising ocean temperatures, pollution, or human interference could throw the ecosystems of the Great Barrier Reef off balance. Support your answer with evidence from the passage
Answer:
Rising ocean temperatures will influence reef species to move to another area that has cooler areas.
Pollution will create dead zones where there are little to no wildlife. Material pollution like plastic will also kill marine life.
Human interference can affect the ecosystems by polluting, overfishing, and destroying coral.
Explanation:
Some marine life are not suitable to warm temperatures, and this will cause them to move to cooler ones, disrupting the normal balance the ecosystem once had.
Pollution from fertilizer runoff and others can deplete the oxygen in the water, and animals like turtles believe plastic is food and will kill them by destroying internal organs and blocking intestines.
Humans pollute and overfish, and this throws the ecosystems off balance because it will create dead zones and will significantly decrease the amount of wildlife there. Humans also destroy coral, which will make reefs die and destroy habitats for wildlife.
The rising temperatures, pollution, and human interferences affect the ecosystem.
What does the passage state?As per the passage, the rising ocean temperatures are affecting the ecosystem and the coral reefs are getting depleted. The throwing of the wastes and other dumps into the oceans at large affects their survival and also impacts the species.
As is a known fact that global warming and climate change affect the lives and habitats of the living organism they also affect the behavior of the species.
Thus the passage tells about the growing temperature and destruction of different ecosystems.
