Where does stress build up and eventually release within a fault?

Biology
1 answer:
nadezda [96]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Across the surface of the fault.

Explanation:

In the event of a fault, the rocks do not disintegrate immediately. Instead friction generated between the surfaces of a fault hold the rocks together.

The forces separating the rocks builds and accumulates stress over time on the surfaces of the fault until they let go.

The sudden slip of the rocks is what causes the shaking of the earths surface that is refereed to as earthquake.

How do body parts at different levels of organization vary in complexity?
user100 [1]
The levels of organization in an organism may be broken down, from simplest to most complex, as:

1. Cell
2. Tissue
3. Organ
4. Organ system
5. Organism

A cell is the basic building of life and almost all cells in an organism's body are far more similar than they are different in both structure and function. Next are the tissues, which are groups of cells combined to carry out a special task. These tissues combine to form an organ, which a large part of the body that partakes in an important task, such as the heart pumping blood. Then is the organ system, which may contain multiple organs all working in conjunction to achieve a change in the organism's body. Finally, the organ systems combine and form the organism. The degree of complexity therefore increases.
