How does climate affect patterns of settlement in Canada?
People tend to stay away areas that remain frozen and settle in places that are inhabitable and easily traveled, along with being near water and other resources.
What are the cracks called when a rock breaks?
Breaks along mineral planes are referred to as cleavage planes (breaks along a plane) or conchodial fractures (no distinct break controls), depending on the mineral. more general breaks in rocks are referred to as fractures or joints and are often along fault planes or areas of stress in the rock. A crumbly rock texture is found in either an unconsolidated unlithified rock or a heavily chemically or mechanically weathered rock
The presence of areas of similarly adapted organisms along the shore is called?
The presence of areas of similarly adapted organisms along the shore is called intertidal zonation. Coral reefs are actually made by colonies of cnidarians.

What are the environmental causes of a Tsunami?
Tsunamis are most commonly the result of plate shifting and earthquakes. This is why tsunami's are more common along areas of tectonic stress.
What is Residual stress in welding?
.Residual stressesare stress that remain after the original cause of the stresses (external forces, heat gradient) has been removed. They remain along a cross section of the component, even without the external cause. Residual stresses occur for a variety of reasons, including inelastic deformations and heat treatment. Heat from welding may cause localized expansion, which is taken up during welding by either the molten metal or the placement of parts being welded. When the finished weldment cools, some areas cool and contract more than others, leaving residual stresses
Why do scientists think that seismic gaps are areas where future earthquakes are likely to occur?
Most earthquakes occur as a result of "stick-slip" behavior. As two plates move past each other they stick to each other along the fault and build up stress. Eventually the plates slip along part of the fault, releasing that stress as an earthquake. The longer part of a plate goes without an earthquake, the more stress builds up, and the more energy is available for a large earthquake. Scientists think these seismic gaps are areas where the plates have been stuck for a long time and so have built up stress for a very large earthquake.

Are boost cell phones better than contract cell phones?
Boost is better if you wish to remain out of a locked contract for two years. They offer monthly plans with unlimited service plans. However, they are usually limited in the type of phone you can use and the coverage areas.
