3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move. 

4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea. 

5.  An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption. 

6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter. 

7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.

8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.

9.  The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure

10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.

11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended. 

12.  The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall. 

13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)

14.

What tissue makes up most of the wood of a tree? A. primary xylem B. secondary xylem C. secondary phloem D. vascular cambium
Over [174]

<u>B. Secondary xylem</u> tissue makes up most of the wood of a tree.

<h3><u>What exactly is secondary xylem?</u></h3>

Secondary xylem is a sort of xylem produced by secondary growth. During initial growth, in contrast, the primary xylem develops. As a result, the secondary xylem is linked to the primary xylem by lateral growth as opposed to the vertical extension.

The kind of cambium that gives rise to each difference is another point of differentiation. The vascular cambium produces the secondary xylem, while the procambium produces the primary xylem.

Unlike trees and shrubs, non-woody plants lack secondary xylem. It gives such plants mechanical support by depositing lignin into their cell walls, thickening them. Compared to the major xylem, the secondary xylem is made up of tracheids and veins that are shorter and wider. In comparison to the primary xylem, it is also richer in xylem fibers.

Possible growth rings in the secondary xylem (or annual rings). Sapwood and heartwood are two differentiators of the secondary xylem in big woody plants.
