PLEASE HELP ME
How would you like us to help you?
Lol sorry guys I meant to write *Write* not right
I don’t know if my last answer posted but what I was trying to say is I don’t exactly get it I’ve read a lot of the articles but I don’t understand them
if I came here for answers I wouldn’t have put my name. I figured that someone would’ve liked to explain it to me and actually discuss what’s going on. If I wanted the answers I would’ve on the link on the website that gives them to me.
1. True: The shaking and trembling that results from movement of rocks beneath Earth's surface is called an earthquake.
2. False: Earthquakes are caused by the forces of plate movement.
3. False: The epicenter of an earthquake is above the focus.
4. True: P-waves can become surface waves when they reach Earth's surface.
5. False: The Modified Mercalli scale rates the intensity of shaking from an earthquake.
6. True: To locate the epicenter of an earthquake, geologists need data from two or more seismographs.
7. Seismic waves are vibrations that are similar to sound waves.
8. The focus of an earthquake is the point where rock under stress begins to break or move.
9. The seismic waves that move fastest are P-waves.
10. Geologists use the moment magnitude scale to measure the total energy released by an earthquake.
If you need further explanation on any of these answers, feel free to ask.
I see that you have two choices.
1. Reread the articles, slowly and carefully. Look up the meanings of any word you don't know.
or
2. Drop this class because it's too hard for you.
Cheating is not an option.
