Biology
2 answers:
mafiozo [28]3 years ago

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).

The answer is:

B. Worms consuming the blood from mammals.

Algae isn't causing any harm to the sloth, rather its providing it with camouflage to hide from predators. Both creatures benefits since the algae gets to eat any parasites and other things in the sloths fur, plus they get a free ride and home in the process. The sloth isn't harmed and is helped by the algae since it provides camouflage (mutualism).

Tree frogs aren't causing harm to the trees since they are only using them to hide from predators, the tree serves as protection for the frogs and aren't harmed in the process (commensalism).

Two fish protecting each other from predators aren't harming each other in any way, rather they are protecting each other from another animal that wants to eat them (mutualism).

The worms however are harming the mammals because they are consuming the mammals blood, this is parasitism since one animal is benefiting and the other is harmed.

Hope this helps! :)
