Explanation / Answer

39. The actual number of languages in the world today is near 1000.

The actual number of languages is 7097. But only 23 languages account for more than half the world's population.

40. The Richtar scale is used to measure the intensity of earthquake on 0-9 logarithmic scale.

This scale uses the amplitude of seismic waves. As the amplitude depends on the depth of the earthquake focus, the distance of the recording station from the focus, the travel path and local geology at both the source and receiver, such magnitude estimates need to be constrained by several determinations.

41. Generally, composite cones are made up of a mixture of lava and ash.

This is also known as strato-volcano, built up of layers of lava alternating with beds of ash and other pyroclastics and with material eroded from higher slopes of the cone. Example - Mt. Fuji, Japan.

42. Contagious diffusion involves relocation of people themselves from one place to another.

Contagious or relocation diffusion involves spreading of ideas through physical movements of people from one place to another.
