Match the following. match the items in the left column to the items in the right column. 1. foreshocks process used to locate the epicenter of an earthquake 2. magnitude newer magnitude scale that measures the amount of moved (displaced) rock along a fault to determine the strength of an earthquake 3. mercalli intensity scale measure of the total amount of energy released during an earthquake 4. moment magnitude scale areas on active faults where a major earthquake hasn't occurred in a long time 5. richter scale mini-quakes that usually occur before a major earthquake 6. seismic gaps scale that measures the effects or severity of an earthquake 7. triangulation scale of magnitude based on the size of seismic waves produced by an earthquake

Where does all the water go? according to the environmental protection agency (epa), in a typical wetland environment, 39% of the water is outflow; 46% is seepage; 7% evaporates; and 8% remains as water volume in the ecosystem (reference: united states environmental protection agency case studies report 832-r-93-005). chloride compounds as residuals from residential areas are a problem for wetlands. suppose that in a particular wetland environment the following concentrations (mg/l) of chloride compounds were found: outflow, 60.4; seepage, 73.7; remaining due to evaporation, 26.4; in the water volume, 46.8. (a) compute the weighted average of chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) for this ecological system. (round your answer to one decimal place.) mg/l (b) suppose the epa has established an average chlorine compound concentration target of no more than 58 mg/l. does this wetlands system meet the target standard for chlorine compound concentration? yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high. yes. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is lower than the target. no. the average chlorine compound concentration (mg/l) is too high.
