How will climate affect the recovery from tsunamis?
Answer:
This means small tsunamis that might not be deadly today could wreak havoc in the future.
“Our research shows that sea-level rise can significantly increase the tsunami hazard, which means that smaller tsunamis in the future can have the same adverse impacts as big tsunamis would today,” said Robert Weiss, a professor of geosciences at Virginia Tech.
Weiss worked with the Earth Observatory of Singapore, the Nanyang Technological University and the National Taiwan University to map the dangers of future tsunamis.
He explained that small tsunamis generated by earthquakes occur frequently around the world, and may eventually be far more hazardous.
The researchers created computer-simulated tsunamis at current sea levels and then compared them to the same simulations with sea-level increases of 1.5 feet and 3 feet.
Weiss’ simulations charted the effect of a tsunami in Macau, a densely populated region in southern China.
The area is generally considered safe from the threat of tsunamis. At current sea levels, an earthquake would need to measure a magnitude of 8.8 or higher to cause “widespread tsunami inundation” in Macau.
But with a sea-level rise of 1.5 feet, the frequency of tsunami-induced flooding in the simulation rose by 2.4 times.
And for the 3-foot increase, the frequency of flooding rose to 4.7 times.
“We found that the increased inundation frequency was contributed by earthquakes of smaller magnitudes, which posed no threat at current sea level, but could cause significant inundation at higher sea-level conditions,” said Lin Lin Li, a senior research fellow at the Earth Observatory of Singapore.
Scientists used 5,000 tsunami simulations generated from “synthetic earthquakes” in the Manila Trench.
The Manila Trench is the main hazard point for large tsunamis in the South China Sea.
It hasn’t experienced an earthquake larger than magnitude 7.8 since the 16th century.
But study co-author Wang Yu said that the region shares many similarities to the source areas that led to the deadly 2004 Indonesian earthquake and Japan’s 2011 quake – both of which led to huge tsunamis.
In the future, it’s possible that smaller-magnitude earthquakes could instigate similar events – all thanks to rising sea levels.
It’s estimated that sea levels in the Macau region will increase by 1.5 feet by 2060, and by 3 feet by 2100.
“The South China Sea is an excellent starting point for such a study because it is an ocean with rapid sea-level rise and also the location of many mega cities with significant worldwide consequences if impacted,” explained Weiss.
“Sea-level rise needs to be taken into account for planning purposes, for example for reclamation efforts but also for designing protective measures, such as seawalls or green infrastructure.”
He went on: “What we assumed to be the absolute worst case a few years ago now appears to be modest for what is predicted in some locations.
“We need to study local sea-level change more comprehensively in order to create better predictive models that help to make investments in infrastructure that are or near sustainable.”
Sea levels aren’t just rising in the South China Sea – they’re rising globally.
The rise is largely attributed to global climate change: partly due to warming seas, causing “thermal expansion” of the water, and partly due to melting ice sheets and glaciers on land.
It’s estimated that we’ll see a rise of between 1 and 8 feet during the 21st century.

Which of the following processes have contributed to the evolution of the Earth over time?
I. the motion of crustal plates
II. the rock cycle
III. radioactive dating
IV. erosion
V. deposition
A.
I and II only
B.
I, II, IV, and V only
C.
II, III, and IV only
D.
I and IV only
Answer: B. I, II, IV, and V only
Explanation:
The motion of crustal plates has led to various changes in the earth such as the formation of mountains and continents moving to other locations. The rock cycle is also significant as well as rocks make up so much of the land surface.
Erosion has moved soil from place to place and even created iconic landmarks such as the Grand Canyon. When soil is moved from one place and put in another this is called deposition.

The lava from Mount St. Helens is made up of rock that contains around 63 percent silica minerals. The lava from Kilauea is made up of rock that contains around 50 percent silica minerals. Based on this information and your observations in parts B through E, predict at least two factors that can affect the rate at which lava flows.
Answer:
Some factors that can affect the rate at which lava flows are the steepness of the ground over which it travels, the rate of lava production at the vent and the type of lava erupted and its viscosity.

What is one advantage surface coal mining has over other mining techniques?
It has a smaller impact on the environment.
It’s easier to distinguish between high- and low-quality coal.
It requires more workers.
The complete seam can be accessed.
Answer:
It’s easier to distinguish between high- and low-quality coal.
Explanation:
Coal mining is the extraction of coal from the depth of the soil around the area where such coal is found. This extraction shows that, there are various grades of coal ranging from low quality which is very dangerous for use to high-quality which is better for use. The use of the surface coal mining technique will help to distinguish it based on their various colours.

If a box of quartz weighs 10 kg (precise to ones place), how much does the same volume of corundum weigh?
(Use specific gravity.) SHOW WORK.
Answer:
1 kg
Explanation:
Because if it's precise to the ones place, then it would be 1.0 kg. So the corundum would weigh 1 kg. and your just moving the 10 over one to the right so the dot is now between 1 and 0 making it 1.0.

Notice how the melting curve for wet peridotite occurs at much lower temperatures than the melting curve for dry peridotite at similar depths and pressures. Of course, rocks can also be partially melted by heating them up. Crustal rocks are primarily melted by temperature increases. Determine the primary means of melting that would occur at divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and within a plate (intraplate).
Answer:
In the convergent boundary, as the plate go deeper pressure increases and temperature also and when the pore water will be released they helped in partial melting. So while the condition will be there as at the melting curve, then an increase in temperature will produce huge partial melt due to presence of water. As shown in the above curves of melting curve of wet peridotite.
In the intraplate melting, the pressure is not changing only temperature of the peridotite is changing . So when temperature will increase it will start to melt (As shown in figure).
In divergent boundary the melting occurs due to decompression. There is no role of temperature here . As temperature is almost constant and the rock will come up it will undergo decompression and will produce melt (As shown in fig 3, decrease in pressure results in melting).

Imagine that you are a leader of a country that is facing extreme nationwide poverty. From which organizations would you seek assistance, and why? What kind of assistance could you expect to receive?
Answer:
The World Bank would be a potential resource for a country in this position. The World Bank’s current mission is to help countries struggling with poverty. This organization might be able to analyze the root causes of poverty and set targets for improvement. In addition, much of the bank’s current work is focused on improving infrastructure, which is perceived as a major obstacle to economic growth and social progress. The World Bank provides loans for development projects that can help reduce poverty.
NGOs may be another resource for help with long-term solutions, as they tend to focus on alleviating poverty and improving living conditions in developing countries. Nongovernmental organizations are especially helpful in working to protect environmental assets, empower women, and build local economies. These organizations may provide sources of microcredit or assist in starting programs that foster independence and growth.
