Scientists plan to take measurements to determine the epicenter of a series of moderate tremors along the Alaskan

coast. Which tool would be most appropriate for the scientists to use?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

seismograph

Explanation:

The epicenter is a point on the earth's surface vertically above the hypocenter or the focus of an earthquake.

A seismograph is an instrument that can be used to detect, record, and take measurements to determine the epicenter of a series of moderate tremors including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and explosions.

A seismograph comprises a mass attached to a fixed base.

Biological anthropologists have discovered a previously unknown fossil species namedAustralopithecus sediba. The species lived about 2 million years ago in Africa and has an interesting mix of traits. For example, its arms are adapted for climbing in trees and its legs are adapted for walking on two legs on the ground. It does not directly resemble any of the living ape species, which suggests that the living ape species (including humans) have each become adapted for their own environmental contexts over time.

What is the primary type of biological anthropology addressed in this research?
A. Human biology
B. Forensic anthropology
C. Paleoanthropology
D. Primatology
Does the research also touch on topics that might be relevant to researchers in disciplines outside anthropology, such as biology, geology, psychology, medicine, sociology, or criminology? Which of the following disciplines would be most relevant?
A. Psychology
B. Biology
C. Criminology
D. Sociology
How does this research relate to human evolution? In other words, what can we learn about human evolution from research along these lines?

SCENARIO B
Biological anthropologists have observed several chimpanzees in western Africa making tools to help them hunt. The chimpanzees were seen modifying branches and sticks into spears. They removed any leaves or small branches to make a smooth shaft. They also chewed on the end of the branches to give them sharp points. They then thrust the sharpened branches like spears into tree trunks, where small primates called galagos make sleeping nests. Although it remains unclear how successful the chimpanzees are in actually killing galagos, multiple members of the chimpanzee group have been observed producing the spears.

Answers

Answer:

Scenario A

C. Palaeoanthropology.B. Biology.

Scenario B

D. Primatology.D. Psychology.

Explanation:

Scenario A

Palaeoanthropology is the study of hominization to see how humans developed to be anatomically similar to modern humans from their more apelike ancestors so this study would fall here.

Biology is the relevant discipline as it relates to the study of living things and their characteristics.

This research relates to human evolution because it can shed more light on how humans went from being apelike and climbing trees to being able to walk upright.

Scenario B

Primatology is the study of primates like chimpanzees so this research would fall under this anthropology subject.

The relevant discipline would be psychology as it might shed light on how the chimps knew to make tools to be able to hunt galagos.

By researching this subject, we can find out how early humans began to make tools for hunting as well as their motivation to do so.

The waters of the Aral  sea have been reduced due to overuse for irrigation  purposes.

Once one of the largest lakes in the world - fourth largest - the Aral sea is now about 10% of its original size as its waters were reduced massively when its source rivers were diverted for irrigation by the Soviet Union.

How is this chain of volcanic islands forming? Tectonic plates are sliding past each other, generating magma, which creates a volcano. Two tectonic plates are pulling apart, creating magma through decompression melting. A tectonic plate is moving over a mantle plume, which burns through the plate to create a chain of volcanoes. A tectonic plate is being subducted and partially melted, producing magma that rises to create a volcanic chain.

Answers

Answer:

A tectonic plate is moving over a mantle plume, which burns through the plate to create a chain of volcanoes.

Explanation:

For a chain of volcanic islands to form, it is necessary for the tectonic plates to move on top of a mantle plume, thus creating a "cord" of islands, forming the chain of volcanic islands.

A plume mantle is also called a hot spot and is formed by a geological thermal aanomalia, which pulls the magma from the deepest layers to the surface.

When warm air rises at the
equator, how does cooler air
move?

Answers

Answer:

When warm air rises, cool air sinks down, which creates a high pressure zone. Then cool air flows back towards the equator, and warm again, which creates a cycle.
Warm air rises, creating a low pressure region, and cool air sinks, creating a high pressure zone. Air flowing from areas of high pressure to low pressure creates winds. Air moving at the bases of the three major convection cells in each hemisphere north and south of the equator creates the global wind belts.
