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.

<span>There are so many societal issue that scientists will be able to address using the sequence of the human genome. For example, health epidemics. Using the genome, scientists can easily found how a pathogen affects a population and search for genes that can inhibit the pathogen. But no all health epidemics are caused by a pathogen. The obesity, nowadays a social health issue in so many countries, is an epidemic that can be address using the human genome. Also, the drug Abuse and Addiction. Scientific have found genes that are related to obesity and also genes related to drug addition. A person who have these genes is more likely to suffer those conditions. But, the discover of these genes and the disease relation help scientists to search for a better treatment.</span>

What are some structural explanation for why animal and plant cells differ in response to changes in the extracellular space?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

The animal cells produce the collagen but the plant cell does not produce collagen that responsible for producing the complex structure of protein and carbohydrates that is called extracellular matrix cell. Collagen is an important protein that provides strength to the structural integrity. On the other hand, the plant has not collagen so they have their extracellular supportive structure. The cell wall is so rigid and covered by the cell that protects it that provides shape and support to it. The plant cell also made up of molecules and these are called cellulose. These cellulose structured into the fibers that are called micro-fibrils
