An earthquake is the shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath earth's surface. earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.

why is this most likely the case?
a.
earthquakes can only happen near volcanic eruptions, and most volcanoes occur on or near plate boundaries.

b.
many plate boundaries are bordered or covered by the ocean. water from the ocean seeps into earthquake fault lines, softening the rock materials so that they can move and cause earthquakes.

c.
tectonic plates move along, against, or away from each other at their boundaries. these movements produce earthquakes.

d.
seismic waves transmit through different media at different speeds. subduction zones at plate boundaries are ideal for transmission of these waves.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
