3.Why is the surface of the Earth in constant motion?

Biology
1 answer:

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.

A student drew the diagram below to model the process of binary fission, which is a type of asexual reproduction.
Leno4ka [110]
The answer would be: <span>Binary fission involves a single parent cell, so there is only one set of genetic information that can be duplicated and passed on to the daughter cells.

If you see the picture, it is clear that there is only 1 parent involved in binary fission. This will exclude the first and third option. 
The genetic duplicated before splitting, so the cells should have an equal number of parent genetic material, not halves. This will exclude the second option.
