Answer: 15.2 Classification of Mass Wasting
There are three criteria used to classify slope failures:
The type of material that failed (e.g., bedrock or unconsolidated sediment),
The mechanism of the failure (how the material moved as it failed), and.
The rate of movement (how quickly the material moved).
Classification of mass wasting types depends on three factors: The mass of the rock, the lever's length on the fulcrum's both sides, and the force applied to it. These factors influence the speed and extent of the landslide, the potential damage, and how resistance can prevent mass wasting.
Geologists and engineers determine the classification of mass wasting types using three significant factors: the mass of the material involved, the force acting on it, and the resistance against the force.
The mass of the rock can significantly influence how fast or slow the landslide will occur as well as the potential damage it will cause. The more massive the material, the more severe the consequences may be.
The length of the lever on both sides of the fulcrum refers to the nature of the slope. A slope's steepness and length can affect how the mass wasting occurs. A steeper and longer slope often means a more rapid and extensive landslide.
The force applied usually refers to the gravitational pull acting on the mass. This is the primary force causing the landslide. Meanwhile, the resistance against the force could be the mechanical strength of the material and physical barriers along the slope. However, if the force exceeds the resistance, mass wasting will occur.

The correct answer is - Focus.
Focus of the earthquake, also referred to as hypocenter, is the location/point where the earthquake starts. It is usually few kilometres below the surface. At this spot the ground raptures after which seismic waves start radiating outward in all directions. The focus is located below the epicenter, or rather the epicenter is above it because the location of the epicenter is determined by the location of the focus, so the epicenter represents the closest point on the surface of the Earth from where the focus is.

Answer:
THE 1883 KRAKATOA VOLCANIC ERUPTION
Resources:
1. Mary Bagley, “Krakatoa Volcano: Facts About 1883 Eruption,” LiveScience (September 14, 2017).
2. Simon Winchester, Krakatoa – The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 (New York: HarperCollins, 2003).
3. How Volcanoes Work: Krakatau, Indonesia (1883), Department of Geological Sciences – San Diego State University.

(Krakatau | Volcano World | Oregon State University)
Explanation:
The island of Krakatau is located in Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. It is part of the Indonesian Island Arc. Volcanic activity is due to subduction of the Indo-Australian tectonic plate as it moves northward toward mainland Asia. The Krakatoa island is found to be about 3 miles wide and 5.5 miles long (9 by 5 kilometers). As at the time of this eruption in 1883, the region was part of the Dutch East Indies; it’s now part of Indonesia. Location: Krakatoa, Anak Krakatau Island, Pulau, South Lampung Regency, Lampung, Indonesia, Asia.
In August 1883, the eruption of Krakatoa, (or Krakatau), was one of the most deadly volcanic eruptions of modern history ever recorded. It is estimated that more than 36,000 people died. The deaths recorded were as a result of the thermal injury from the blasts. Also, the victims were of the tsunamis that followed the fall of the volcano into the caldera below sea level. The temperatures dropped all over the world and the climate was affected because the eruption was so terrible.
b.movement of geography
c.movement of people
d.movement of products
Answer:
A. movement of ideas
Explanation:
this is the most likely answer as the others are things that obviously cross's geographical borders.
The term 'movement of geography' is not one of the three types of movement that occur across geographical boundaries. These three types are actually 'movement of goods, ideas, and people'.
Movement in geography typically refers to the transaction of goods, people, and ideas from one location to another. However, the option 'b' in your question, which is the movement of geography, does not make sense and is not recognized as one of the three types of movement that occur across geographical boundaries. Geography itself doesn't move, but the people, ideas, and goods within geographical locations do.
