The correct answers are:
- plates moving;
- breaking rocks;
- movement bellow the surface;
The earthquakes are a direct result of the plate tectonics. In order for an earthquake to appear, there should be a geologic activity caused by the movement of the tectonic plates. The movement of the tectonic plates causes a lot of pressure on the rocks. The rocks eventually break at certain places under the pressure. A they break, there's movement bellow the surface, or rather inside the crust, also referred to as adjustment. That movement and the release of power from it, causes lot of strong vibrations. The vibrations spread out and start shaking the ground in the surrounding area, which is actually the earthquake itself.
Transform= not destroyed or created
Divergent= crust created
Convergent= crust destroyed
BMI measures excess weight rather than excess body fat, therefore it doesn't take in to account the amount of muscle you have. This would mean that if you used BMI to judge your overall health, it would be false if you were very muscular. BMI may determine that you are overweight, but it is not necessarily correct as BMI is judging based off of excess fat rather than muscle.
Answer:
Pili in bacteria has the function of transmitting genetic information, which contributes to increase the diversity of prokaryotes and create resistance to antibiotics.
Explanation:
The pili is a structure of prokaryotic cells, no larger than 7 nm, which plays an essential role in the exchange of genetic material between prokaryotic cells, including bacteria.
Pilus is able to allow the connection between two prokaryotic organisms, establishing the connection between the cytoplasm. This cellular interaction allows the transfer of genetic material that:
- <em>Gives new characteristics to a cell population, including the ability to resist its environment.
</em>
- <em>Generate the necessary modifications to resist antibiotics.</em>
<u>Bacterial conjugation</u> and <u>genome transfer</u>, which are functions of the pili, is what allows the modifications to be shared, ensuring the genetic variability of prokaryotes and acquiring resistance to antibiotics.
