Answer:
because California is located on the San Andreas Fault
Explanation:
California is one of the states that have higher seismic activity because it lies on an individual fault known as the San Andreas Fault. Faults are regions where two tectonic plates are moving with respect to one another, thereby they are prone to suffer earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault is a continental fault that extends approximately 800 miles (1,200 kilometers) through the US state. Conversely, earthquakes in North Dakota are uncommon because this state is located in the middle of a tectonic plate. The last earthquake in North Dakota had a magnitude of 3.3 (Richter Scale) and it happened almost 10 years ago (2012), in Williston.
The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west
Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.
Answer: The given statement is true.
Sun is the ultimate source for energy on the Earth. It is the natural and renewable source of energy on earth as it can easily be renewed and never run off. All living organisms which are present on earth are dependent on food for survival. For this, they become part of the food chain which provides them energy in the form of food. Food chain begins with plants as they are the primary producers in the food chain. They get energy for preparing food from sunlight in the form of light energy.
Moreover, the life forms which existed millions of years ago were dependent on sun for energy. The dead remains of these life forms have provided the non renewable sources of energy like fossil fuels on earth.
Thus, the sun is considered as the ultimate source of energy on the Earth.
Answer:
The Genotype of an organism determines the genetic characteristics of an individual.
If a father produces sperm that carry only 't' alleles, the his genotype will be 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.
Hom.ozygous genotype contains the same type of genes responsible for a particular phenotype.
Hence, the correct answer is 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.
