What are the tectonic features and actions that result in seismic waves

Biology
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:  

The tectonic features and actions that result in seismic waves are: movement of the Earth's tectonic plates, explosions, volcanoes and landslides, etc.  

Explanation:

Seismic waves occur when during an earthquake, the rocks beneath the Earth's surface breaks along the fault. This results in excessive release of energy which produces seismic waves these waves make the ground shake. When two plates were wiped each other, they attach little bit. They keep on pushing each other but are not able to move away smoothly.

A pressure is developed between them, as a result the rocks break and earthquake occurs. During and after the quake the plates keep on moving till the time they get stuck up again. The place where the 'rock breaks' are called 'the focus of an earthquake'. And the place immediately above 'the focus' is called the 'epicentre of the quake'. Seismic waves are can also be caused by underground explosions. These explosions occur while making tunnels for roadways, railways or during mining activities.

Which lipid has the greatest influence on blood cholesterol levels?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer;

-Saturated fats

Explanation;

-Cholesterol is transported in the blood by different carriers. The relative amounts of cholesterol transported by each carrier can affect one’s risk for heart disease. The two major blood cholesterol carriers are LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein).

-LDL cholesterol is known as “bad” blood cholesterol, and functions to deliver cholesterol to cells throughout the body and can be deposited as “plaque” on artery walls.

-Dietary fat, especially saturated and trans fats, may raise blood levels of total and LDL cholesterol. High total blood cholesterol levels and LDL cholesterol levels increase risk of heart disease.

Does epinephrine trigger a direct or indirect signal transduction pathway? How do you know?
lys-0071 [83]

Epinephrine triggers a direct signal transduction pathway.

I know this because when epinephrine binds to it's receptor example on a muscle cell,this is known as a type of G protein -coupled receptor,signal transduction cascade is triggered and this involves the production of a second messenger molecule cyclic AMP(cAMP).

Epinephrine also know as Adrenaline or sus-phrine.

It is a vasoconstrictor,broncho dilator and a sympathetic stimulant.

It constricts the peripheral abdominal organs as well as a stimulating the heart beat thereby raising the blood pressure,it also relaxes the spasms of the bronchial muscles thereby promoting ventilation of the lungs.
