Identify several reasons why a magnitude 6 earthquake in New Orleans might be more damaging than a magnitude 7 earthquake in San Francisco.

San Francisco has a history of earthquakes, while New Orleans has never had one. Because of risk assessment, buildings would be built much more sturdy in San Francisco vs New Orleans. New Orleans is surrounded by water and marsh and the area covered with loose sediment, which would exaggerate the ground movement. Both are densely populated but getting out of New Orleans is difficult (ex-Hurricane Katrina)

Explanation:

4.) metal

"-the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back to the environment

-carbon is the essential component of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (which make up all organisms)

-carbon exists in air, water, and living organisms

-producers convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere into carbohydrates during photosynthesis

-bacteria in the atmosphere cycles through the system in filtration units

-in cellular respiration, carbon is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide

-some carbon is stored in limestone (forming one of the largest "carbon sinks" on earth)

-largest carbon reservoir on earth= limestone

-carbon stored in the bodies of organisms as fat, oils, or other molecules may be released into the soil or air when the organism dies

-this may form deposits of coal, oil, or natural gas (fossil fuels, which increased the atmospheric carbon dioxide)

-fossil fuels store carbon left over from bodies of organisms that died millions of years ago

-they are located in the surface of earth, deep within the earth and beneath the ocean floor."
