Answer:

Tectonic plates

Explanation:

In general, earthquakes are due to the immense vibrations from the shifting of tectonic plates. In the specific case of the San Andreas Fault, there is one issue. It is directly on top of a boundary between two tectonic plates. So, when either one of the plates shifts, extreme earthquakes occur due to the location being on top of the source.

A bacteria population decreases by a factor of 1/2 every 4 hours. Explain why we could also say that the population decays by a
kirza4 [7]

The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

<h3>Exponential Function</h3>

An exponential function is in the form:

y = abˣ

Where a is the initial value of y, b is the multiplier, y and x are variables.

Let y represent the bacteria population after x hours.

A bacteria population decreases by a factor of 1/2 every 4 hours.

y=\frac{1}{2} ^\frac{x}{4}= \frac{1}{2} ^{(\frac{1}{4})x}

The population decays by a factor of (1/2 )^1/4 every hour.

GREYUIT [131]
Higher specific heat -Land
Lower specific heat - Water
Heats up faster - Land
Heats up slower - Water
Cools down faster - Land
Cools down slower - Water
The land is heating up faster, and also reaches higher temperatures than the water, but it also cools down much quicker, and reaches much lower temperatures than the water.
