Explanation:
In reference to evolution, homology can be described as the comparative similarities in the structures of organisms that make it more alike to one organism than the other organisms. It also shows the characteristics that might have evolved in an organism over time. Developmental homology are the similarities which arise between organisms due to similar embryological source.
Developmental studies can be made by researching the embryological developments of different organisms and looking for similarities among them.
For example, studying the snake embryos showed that some of the embryos have hind limb buds in them which disappeared in the mature snake. This study made it clear that snakes evolved from organisms that had hind limbs. As the snakes do not need the limbs, so with time the species of snakes evolved and lost their hind limbs.
Answer:
a. Earthquakes shake the rocks to slide horizontally, vertically, or side-ward.
Explanation:
The correct answer is - a.Earthquakes shake the rocks to slide horizontally, vertically, or side-ward.
Reason -
A fault is a fracture or zone of fractures between two blocks of rock.
Faults allow the blocks to move relative to each other. This movement may occur rapidly, in the form of an earthquake - or may occur slowly, in the form of creep.
During an earthquake, the rock on one side of the fault suddenly slips with respect to the other.
The fault surface can be horizontal or vertical or some arbitrary angle in between.
