Explain in a few sentences why earthquakes and volcanoes occur together at location 1, but not together at location 2, based on plate tectonic theory.
Identify two different areas anywhere on Earth:
(1) a location where earthquakes and volcanoes occur together in the same location, and (2) a location where either earthquakes or volcanoes occur alone, but not together.
Compare your two locations. Think about the three different types of plate tectonic boundaries, and what causes earthquakes and volcanoes.

Last Tuesday the Belmont Fire Department was dispatched to the westbound lane of State Highway 123 for an accident involving a dump truck on fire.
Engine 2 responded with a crew of five, followed shortly after by Engine 3 with a crew of four. Engine 2 arrived to find an overturned dump truck with the cab fully involved and the driver self-extricated. Engine 2’s crew pulled one of the front bumper lines and started their fire attack. They were followed closely behind by Engine 3’s crew, who pulled the other line and helped with the fire suppression.
The operator of the vehicle suffered minor abrasions and declined further treatment.
The dump truck was carrying ash from a local incinerator that burns trash to generate electricity. Much of the ash was carried into a nearby stream during the fire suppression. Local authorities and the EPA were notified of a spill of ash with potential toxins into the local watershed.

Find the shortest encoded bit string of the following source sequence: Source sequence: ABCCDEAFABCBEDFABCBBAEFFEBCEFF
(a) using extended Huffman coding to encode the string where k=2
(b) using arithmetic coding.
For this case, you can ignore the termination issue ina a decoder, and output the shortestbit string of the first 5 symbols only, while the probability distribution is based on the whole sequence.
(c) Using adaptive Huffman coding to encode the first 10 symbols of the string. The initial code assignment is given below
