The overwhelming amount of seismic activity particularly happens along convergent plate boundaries. In particular, reverse or thrust faults occurs on convergent plate boundaries.Converging plate boundaries are classified into two types of activities.First is the subduction boundary where the oceanic lithosphere is pressured beneath a continental plate or oceanic plate thus it overrides the other plate then slowly directed to the mantle where it will become a magma. Second is the collisional boundary where earthquakes occur because of the continental crust squeezed together then plates are pushed upwards.Reverse faults are correlated to earthquakes with magnitude of 8 or more.Hence, earthquakes of magnitude 8 or more are considered powerful and mega thrust earthquakes.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Organisms are well preserved in mud because mud has high water holding capacity. It retains water and does not allow oxygen flow which can destroy the remains of organisms. There are some microbes that preserved whose growth are enhanced in water related environment like mud.
But sand cannot retain or hold water. It drains it off and all oxygen bearing water to flow which enhance decay compared to mud. It can't preserve organisms because of the above reasons.
Answer:
Pioneer species/organisms help modify the environment because they are the first organism to live on that "terrain" or environment and they open up the chance to make more organism, also when they die and decompose they make more soil so that more organisms can grow.

Explanation:
Electrophoresis describes the movement of particles in a gel, influenced by an electric charge.
It is use to separate DNA particles based on their charge and size. Some of its types are native or buffer gels, gradient gels among others.
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Franz Boaz was a German-American scientist born in Minden, Germany in 1858. He is known to be the first to develop scientific method of studying human cultures and societies. This renowned anthropologist became popular for his theory of cultural relativism and his contributions to anthropology. He believes culture is the product of human character rather than cultural determinism. His revolutionary discoveries when studying European immigrants to the US, including studies of the cultures, histories, and languages of Native Americans and Kwakiutl led him propound the theory of cultural relativism. His works and theory helps in discouraging racial divide. Franz Boas is known to be the Father of Modern Anthropology and most especially, he is said to be the founder of Modern American Anthropology.
