They play an important role, since in most casses they determine the degree of intensity or extent of destruction of the earthquake, because they tend to affects the rates of movement of the seismic waves i.e. the seismic velocity within rocks and Earth materials.

The property of an electrical device that permits storage of electrically separated charges when potential differences exist between the conductors is called what?

Capacitance.


Why is it possible to measure an electric potential across the terminals of a dry cell?

Batteries are a voltage storage device that hold a voltage potential until used. By using a volt meter you can find the stored voltage by placing the leads of the meter across the battery's positive and negative terminals.


What are saline solutions?

Saline aquifers are sedimentary rocks saturated with saline, non-potable water from which water can be drawn and fluids can e injected to be stored for a longer period of time. The geological formations consisting of water permeable rocks that are saturated with salt water called brine. These aquifers are considered to be potential storage site for the carbon dioxide captured from industries. Saline aquifers run deep underground and hence provide access to storage opportunities in many parts of the world. It is estimated that deep aquifers saturated with brine solution has the greatest potential for carbon dioxide storage.
