What processes can be observed at the margins of lithospheric plates?
faulting, earthquakes, volcanoes, and mountain building.
How did you discover that the outer core was liquid?
It was observed that p (pressure) waves from earthquakes passed through the core bus s (sheer) waves from earthquakes did not.
When a cell is observed with a compound light microscope which structures will be seen?
its because ..... yeah !
How do the Ayelu and Likaiu volcanoes fit into the pattern you have observed?
They don't affect earthquakes, but earthquakes affect them. Both volcanoes occur above parts of the mid ocean ridges, underwater mountain ranges formed by the plate tectonics.
How are the sinuses examined during a physical?
The external nose is examined. The nasal mucosa and internal structures can be observed with the use of a penlight and a nasal speculum.
Why is it easier to assign mercalli intensity to historic earthquakes than it is to give them a Richter-type magnitude?
Mercalli intensity is based off of observed damage to earth's structures. Richter magnitude uses calculations during the actual time of the earthquake.
Is the modified mercalli scale still used today?
Yes, the Modified Mercalli Intensity (MMI) scale is still used today to measure the intensity of earthquakes based on observed effects on people, buildings, and the environment. It provides a valuable complement to seismic magnitude scales in assessing the impact of earthquakes on society.
How do earthquakes observed?
with a seismograph
Are earthquakes magnetic?
Not that we have observed. Earthquakes are almost entirely a mechanical process.
How are the eyes examined during an annual physical?
The external structures are observed. The internal structures can be observed using an ophthalmoscope (a lighted instrument) in a darkened room.
Sanitary measures to be observed in the food laboratory?

What are the main structures you could have observed when you removed the exoskeleton of the abdomen of a crayfish?
The large feathery structures are the gills.
Why must safety measures be observed in the laboratory?
To prevent mishaps.
What are the sanitary measures to be observed in the cooking area?

What are measures are observed?
Usually, when observations and measurements are aggregated, these are called DATA.
