Identify several reasons why a magnitude 6 earthquake in New Orleans might be more damaging than a magnitude 7 earthquake in San Francisco.

San Francisco has a history of earthquakes, while New Orleans has never had one. Because of risk assessment, buildings would be built much more sturdy in San Francisco vs New Orleans. New Orleans is surrounded by water and marsh and the area covered with loose sediment, which would exaggerate the ground movement. Both are densely populated but getting out of New Orleans is difficult (ex-Hurricane Katrina)

Explanation:

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.

enhanced global partnerships and exploration capabilities may advance international preparedness for protecting the earth from catastrophic events such as some asteroid strikes, advancing collaborative research on space weather and protecting spacecraft by developing new means for space debris removal.
