The 2010 Mw 7.0 earthquake in Haiti caused an estimated 280,000 structures to collapse or sustain severe damage and resulted in the deaths of 100,000 to 160,000 people. However, a much larger Mw 8.8 earthquake in Chile that same year caused an estimated 550 deaths and significantly less damage to structures. Much of this difference in death toll and damage was due to the fact that Chile has strict building requirements, whereas no national building code exists in Haiti. What else can affect the number of deaths or amount of damage caused by an earthquake?

The correct answer is - rainfall.

The Ogallala Aquifer is a very large aquifer. It traces its origins at the end of the last ice age, where the water from the melting glaciers filled it up. After that initial filling of from the water of melting glaciers, the Ogallala Aquifer has been reliant on the water from the rainfall to fill it, and replenish the lost water.

Since the humans started to use it though, this aquifer has been constantly experiencing decrease in its water levels. The reason for that is that the humans use more water from the aquifer than what the rainfall can replenish, and that is especially a big problem because the aquifer is located in an area where there isn't a lot of precipitation.

The Giant Impact Hypothesis explains the moon's lower density compared to Earth by suggesting it was formed from less-dense mantle material ejected by a high-energy impact in Earth's early history. Post-impact conditions also caused the loss of volatile elements from the material, contributing further to the moon's low density.

The Giant Impact Hypothesis provides a persuasive explanation for the density differences between the Earth and the Moon. This hypothesis suggests that in the early stages of our solar system, Earth was struck by an object nearly the size of Mars. This oblique impact hurled a significant amount of the Earth's mantle into space, which eventually coalesced to form the Moon.

The Moon's low density compared to Earth can be explained by the composition of the debris ejected during this impact. This debris was primarily derived from the Earth's mantle, which is less dense than the core due to the scarcity of metals. Further, post-impact conditions, characterized by high temperatures, likely caused the loss of many volatile elements from this loose material, contributing to the Moon's low density and lack of atmosphere.

Therefore, the Giant Impact Hypothesis not only explains the origin of the Moon but also provides a plausible account for its unique properties, including its composition and density, when compared to the Earth.

Final answer:

The International Space Station orbits Earth approximately every 90 minutes, as it is positioned in low Earth orbit at about 400 kilometers above the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

The International Space Station (ISS) completes an orbit around the Earth approximately every 90 minutes. Because the ISS is in low Earth orbit (LEO), it is closer to the Earth's surface compared to other types of orbits such as medium Earth orbit or geosynchronous orbit. The ISS orbits at a height of about 400 kilometers above the Earth which allows for a faster orbit time compared to satellites that are further away. This capability is significant for various functions, including scientific research, Earth observation, and as a stepping stone for future space exploration.

Explanation:

The correct answer is - elliptical.

The comets, just like the planets, have elliptical orbits. Their orbits though tend to be much more narrow and stretched ellipses than those of the planets. Because of the elliptical orbits, the comets are much closer to the body they are orbiting around in certain periods, but also much further away at other periods.

The comets are characterized and best known for their ''tails''. They do not have elongated shape though, but instead they have a rounded shape, but because they have amount of ice on them, as they move, particles of ice are stripped away from it. Those particles of ice are trailing behind the comet for certain time, and that is what we actually see as a tail of the comet.

The problem is; Africa population will be very high (high population density) leading to difficulty of the governments to  feed their population hence making it unsustainable.

Solution 1; promote family planning methods through intense advertisement

Solution 2; increase literacy rates of the population by increasing education facilities and the quality of education.

Likely results of solution 1; the most common form of family planning method that will be used will be contraceptives. This will eventually  reduce the population growth rate, directly.

Likely results of solution 2; Research has shown that educated/ literate couples are inclined to have smaller families which they can financially cater for. This, therefore, will gradually and indirectly lead to reduced growth rates in the pollution.

The best solution is Solution 2 because it kills two bird with one stone. It increases literacy levels in the pollution while also indirectly promoting reduce population growth. Solution 1 may not be as effective because African culture may not allow most to use contraception as a means of family planning.

Final answer:

The water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone and saturated zone. It mimics topography and can be affected by groundwater pumping. Lakes and streams are related to the water table.

Explanation:

The water table is the boundary between the unsaturated zone and saturated zone. It mimics topography and generally lies near the surface, rising with hills and sinking with valleys. The water table can be lowered if too much groundwater is pumped out, and this can lead to a cone of depression around the well. Lakes and streams are surface expressions of the water table.

Furthermore, the saturated zone, or the Zone of Saturation, is the region below the water table, where all spaces between rocks and soil are filled with water. The water table can change depending on factors such as precipitation and human activities like pumping groundwater from wells.

The correct statements about the water table are: A. The water table can be lowered if too much groundwater is pumped out, C. The water table can collapse if overpumped, creating a cave, E. Lakes and streams are surface expressions of the water table.

Answer:

Foragers

Explanation:

The Neanderthals were a hominid species that was living in Eurasia and dominating the area until the migration of Homo sapiens to its territory. These hominids were foragers. Their lifestyle was based on hunting animals to survive, and often they moved along the animals they hunted as they were migration from one place to another. They were not practicing agriculture, or rarely spent longer period of time at one place as they were not going to be able to sustain themselves.

North Korea had an early post-1953 economic advantage over South Korea, primarily due to substantial Soviet support and an initially better industrial base. However, South Korea eventually surpassed North Korea economically through significant development in agriculture, industry, and global trade, contrasting significantly with North Korea's decline following the Soviet Union's fall.

At the time of the 1953 cease-fire, North Korea had an economic advantage over South Korea due to the substantial support it received from the Soviet Union, including Soviet tanks and other technically advanced equipment. This military and technological support was significant because, during the early post-war years, the U.S. was more focused on Europe and exhibited hesitation in providing similar aid to South Korea due to the corruption of Syngman Rhee's government and strategic priorities.

Furthermore, North Korea's initially better industrial base positioned it advantageously in the short term, despite the long-term economic growth and prosperity that South Korea would achieve through state-controlled capitalism, significant agricultural production, and the development of major industries and global corporations like Daewoo, Samsung, and Hyundai. South Korea's economic rise, transforming into a world-leading shipbuilding nation and exporting automobiles, electronic goods, and textiles globally, sharply contrasts with North Korea's eventual economic hardships following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, which led to factory closures, unemployment, and severe food shortages.
