What is the main cause of an earthquake?

Biology
2 answers:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

The earthquake is a natural phenomenon that takes place mainly because of the stress that generates due to the motion of the plates. Due to this plate motion, the rocks adjust themselves along the fault line, releasing a certain amount of energy. This released energy is carried from the focus towards the surface of the earth in the form of waves, commonly known as the seismic waves.

The focus is defined as the point (source) from where an earthquake originates and the point that lies directly above this focus on the ground surface is known as the epicenter.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).

suppose a cell wishes to make a protein that has 100 amino acid. How many water molecules will be created in the making of this
slega [8]
The answer is 99.

Amino acids <span>contain a carboxyl group (carbon-containing) and an amino group (nitrogen containing). Proteins are made by forming peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino group of amino acids.
</span>If a protein is made of 100 amino acids, that means there are 99 peptide bonds (because the last, 100th amino acid will not bind the next (101st) amino acid). For each peptide bond that is created, one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms are taken. Therefore, one water molecule is created for each peptide bond. If there are 99 peptide bonds, 99 water molecules are created.

What is meiosis getting ready for
Nady [450]
The process of meiosis is the cell division that prepares the species for sexual reproduction. Through meiosis cells goes from diploid (2n) cells to haploid (n) gamates. Each daughter cell carries exactly one half of the genetic material from the mother cell. In females the result of meiosis is the production of egg cells, where in the male, the result of meiosis is the production of sperm cells.
