The answer is C. San Francisco. Explanation: The San Andreas and Hayward faults, which are in proximity, generate significant tectonic activity in this area. Consequently, regions near these faults are more susceptible to tsunamis caused by the displacement of the ocean floor during earthquakes. Additionally, many islands and bays previously established are also periodically affected.
Response:
Explanatory note:
From the soil-collection devices at Plot B, there was a total of 200kg of soil collected.
Both plots were documented to have received a cumulative total of 116cm of rainfall by the end of the year as recorded by the rainfall measuring devices.
Answer:
y = 32,000 + 2560(x)
Explanation:
After maintaining a stable population of 32,000 for several years, an exponential growth of 8% from 32,000 occurs in the next year, raising the population to 34560.
To calculate this,
8% of 32000 = 8/100 × 32000 = 2560
Now, adding this growth to the original population results in:
2560 + 32000 = 34, 560
The figure of 34560 represents the population after 1 year.
To predict the town's population over x years, expressed with y as the population, the following formula can be applied:
y = 32,000 + 2560(x)
Testing the equation with values of x = 4 years and 3 years yields:
y = 32,000 + 2560(4) = 32,000 + 10240 = 42240 people will reside in the town in four years
y = 32,000 + 2560(3) = 32,000 + 7680 = 39680 people will reside in the town in three years.
