Statment between the magnitude of a earthquake and how often earthquakes of the magnitude occur?
One statement you could write is that "Earthquakes of higher magnitudes are much rarer than those of lower magnitudes".
The magnitude of earthquakes is a logarithmic scale, so a magnitude of 8 is TEN TIMES more powerful than a magnitude 7. This is why earthquakes of higher magnitudes are so much rarer than those of lower magnitudes.

A deep ditch carved over by running water?
It's a gully. Rills are smaller ditches cut by running water, but can be plowed over. Once the ditch is so deep it can't be plowed over, it's a gully.
For prizes, sponsors pay the game show to plug the prizes on air, as a form of advertisement. In terms of a budget, prizes are essentially free, which is why they were used so often up through the 1990s.
The remainder of the prize budget comes from the revenue from commercials airing during the program.
Parts and function of male reproductive organ?
Penis- Houses a small tube through which urine and semen flow, though never simultaneously.
Testicles- Hard lumps of tissue inside which sperm cells are made and stored.
Urethra- The tube through which urine and semen flow.
Prostate Gland- Secretes semen in which sperm cells are transported.
The penis is mostly used to empty one's bladder, through urination. The other function of the set of genitalia, is to sexually reproduce. When the erect penis (erect from a strong flow of blood surging through it) enters the vagina, the penis is stimulated through its many nerves. After stimulation, the male's lower abs, penile muscles, anal muscles, and pubic muscles all contract in several repetitions. This is called the orgasm, when semen is pushed through the urethra from the prostate. Ejaculation can not be contained or stopped, such as a sneeze.
Which statement describes why natural populations cannot keep growing exponentially?
Because of Limiting Factors (environmental factors that prevent a population from increasing). Biotic Limiting Factors = Living organisms; Abiotic Limiting Factors = Nonliving organisms.
Other factors include: Death Rate, Birth Rate, Carrying Capacity, Predation
What is the mind in psychology?
In the materialistic world, Mind is the most neglected part of our body because it is invisible to others. Our knowledge of mind is totally distorted.
Mind is a buffer and filter interposed between our sensations and movements. Thus, mind minimizes our movements even when there are chaotic changes in the real world.
The abstract mind:
Religion, science and lay people believe that mind is abstract. The reason for this is that in both religion and science mind is bypassed. Science recognizes just Instinctive thinking, or thinking without thinking, and religion recognizes just virtual thinking or thinking using god. This makes mind look very mysterious to us.
The mind, structurally:
From the dawn of civilization mind is associated with every structure in our body like heart, liver, gut, etc.
Science associates it with the brain. However, there are basic differences between the two. we can feel and control our mind but we can't feel and control our brain. The brain is the most enigmatic structure in the entire universe but thinking is very simple.
The only structure that has properties exactly the same as that of the mind is the skeletal muscular system.
The Unified Skeletal Muscle:
All the skeletal muscles of our body can Isometrically contract and relax (Harden and soften) as a single unit called Unified Skeletal Muscle (USM), popularly known as mind.
The body is the Isotonic component of our Skeletal muscular system and thus, ulike the mind, it brings about movements. Thus, mind and body are intimately related.
The USM is basically a distinct entity and works independently. However, when it is bypassed the USM becomes a part of our body. Thus, USM is common to body and mind.
I, Self and Attitudes:
When the tone of the USM is 50% it is called as 'I' When it is 0% it is called positive attitude and when 100% as negative attitude. The tones closer to the attitudes constitute the Self. 'I' is voluntary and Self and Attitudes are involuntary.
However, in reality We don't allow our tone to vary from 0% to 100% and use a small spectrum portio around the 50% range.
Since 'I' lies in our USM, which is common to both our body and mind, we use it to refer to both our body and mind. Thus, we say 'I think' and 'I do'.
Isometric movements (movements that just give us a feeling of movement but never results in actual movements), emotions, feeling, consciousness, time sense, god, I, Self, thinking, etc are properties of the USM.
Therefore, we can feel all these entities and even control them. However, since, skeletal muscles can be involuntary all these can work on their own also.
Mind and thinking:
The most important function of the mind is thinking. In thiking we use memories of feelings and biological feelings as sensations. We use Isometric movements instead of isotonic or real world movements. Emotions act as our guide and enables us to know what emotions would be produced by interaction between changes in sensory feelings and isometric movements. It can also be used to know what changes in sensations and/ or movements would produce the desired emotion.
Parts of mind:
Mind is conventionally divided into conscious mind and subconscious mind.
However, in reality it is made of 7+ 1 minds.
The seven minds:
They are,
1. Dreaming mind
2. Illusory mind
3. Voluntary mind
4. Semi voluntary/ Natural/ Default mind
5. Involuntary mind
6. Status altering mind
7. Compulsive mind
Normally, the best mind for a purpose is automatically selected and therefore, we believe that there is just one mind.
The eighth mind is the Instinctive mind over which we don't have direct control.
The upper three and a half minds constitute the conscious mind and the lowe three and a half, subconscious mind. Thus, anatomically the conscious mind corresonds to the the below navel part of the USM and subconscious mind to above navel part.
Control of mind:
Mind can work on its own. If it is not working properly we can service the mind by separating and resetting the seven minds. Since mind is made of skeletal muscular system we can do this through isometric exercises.
Compare the Indian Ocean trade with the Mediterranean Sea trade?
The Indian Ocean trade route was far away from the coasts and it made sailors not interact with others besides their "mates" And the Mediterranean sea route was next to the coast using monsoons to guide them to other ports.

How is it possible for a big drum and a small drum to produce the same pitch?
It Isnt, Poindexter
It Isnt, Poindexter
edit by a drummer: it is possible! it's all about tuning! I'm just a starter so not very good at it, but my teacher said the following: if you want a deep pitch, you gotta make sure you start tuning at the top, and keep the pitch as low as possible, then the bottom should be pitched a little bit higher, (half a turn of the screw or so, try and learn), and to get it pitched high, one should do the opposite. thus, if one tunes the biggest very high, and the smallest drum very low, they can produce the same pitch.
What is capable of converting light energy to chemical energy?
The conversion of solar energy to chemical energy takes place during photosynthesis. This is done by the chloroplasts in plants as they convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. Chloroplasts
Any of the northernmost or southernmost oceans and seas. How far north or south will depend on the time of year.
Icebergs are found in very cold Arctic and Antarctic regions, into which the icebergs drift when they detach from an ice pack, ice shelf, or glacier.
Is Ontario an urban or rural region?
I have to correct that answers and most people in Canada live in urban cities. The Greater Toronto Area and the Greater Vancouver Area accounts for most of the population in Canada. That is also where you can find most banks, jobs, offices etc. urban internet such as IVC Telecom. Sports Arenas that compete on the highest levels.
