What have you learned about earthquakes from your text?

Answered by FluttershyK22
That's the thing I'm not sure about it from my text. Thank you btw for deleting the other post that freaked me out.
Answered by Ms. Sue
That person won't be back here for quite a while.

Certainly your text has the clear answer to the first question. What is it?
Answered by FluttershyK22
well I think an earthquake is

The shaking that results from the movement of rock beneath Earth’s surface.

And thank you <3.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes. That's a definition for earthquake.

Only you can answer the second question because I don't know your area.

Earthquakes occur most often in California because of the dry heat.
Answered by Writeacher
Go to www.google.com and look up <b>"ring of fire" earthquakes</b>
Answered by FluttershyK22

Answered by Writeacher

Answered by Really
You are kidding right? Not to be blunt or anything but these questions are simple to look up, and do not require much time. It is obvious you are one of those Connexus Academy students that ask people on Jiskha for answers. Please ask for help if you do not understand something. Not make up a lie and try to get answers. Try to do your work. Don't make people do it for you.
Answered by R5er
Hey "Really", you could be nicer. I mean this student is coming to get help, its called Homework Help so they are getting help. They are also learning, so be nicer because you also asked for help.
Answered by R5er
Really, please don't take that the wrong way, i was trying to be nice but if your upset I'm sorry. But everyone is trying to learn something.

'One of those Connexus Academy student' YOU SAY IT LIKE WE ARE PESTS AND ARE JUST TRYING TO RUIN EVERYONES DAY WHAT.
Answered by sasuke uchiha
Really has a good point. you should do your work on your own, especially portfolios because if someone gives you the answers you will be introuble for copying others work. Tato, lets calm down lmfao. you act like this is a big issue, youre on jupiter get tf back down to earth, bby ;*
Answered by Bellatrix
Yeah, if you need help you should go to your teachers if you are a Connexus student, or you can just Webmail me if that helps since half these people are jerks about our school.

I know this is a ''homework helper'' site...but i agree with "Really'' on that topic. I'm from Connections Academy,I do the work first and then check my answers. I asked one question on my quick checks and I see a lot of people from my grade GIVING people the answers. Another time when i was doing my S.S test I was stuck on a question on person basically typed the whole test on Jishka one person typed the whooooooooooole answers. Again I know I know this is a homework helper site but is it really a homework helper when someone is giving out the answers to another boy or girl. Honestly...are you people even learning anything if other people give out the answers to the whole earth?

R5er im sorry but i dont agree with you Really is right ._.

@Really, your saying all that but why are you here then?
Answered by Dobby the House Elf
You guys, I understand where you're coming from, and people do definitely need to stop coming here for only the answers, but not everyone here gives away ALL the answers. A lot of people simply give good resources in order to help! @Really, why did you say that here? Nobody gave away the answer. The teacher and @Writeacher gave helpful resources that helped me get through the portfolio, which I was stressing about because I've had a very long day today and I have an essay which I only have one day to write, and I haven't even started it yet. Also, don't come on this homework help website if all you are going to do is start arguments and tell us to get off of here. This website has proved really helpful to me and I'm grateful for it.

Yall immature as heII, to start off no body cares if if you check your answers or not, no one asked. 90% of the people here want answers, if your here to check answers its also cheating. This project is portfolio work, so how in gods name are you going to check your work. For real, yall finna need to grow up.
Answered by Redacted
You have to be mentally challenged if your here for resources, just look up a video on youtube on the subject. Everyone here is just cheating, as I am.
