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)

Students in a science class tested different plant seeds to determine how long it took each type of seed to fall from the second
svetlana [45]

The correct answer is C.

Explanation

According to the information provided, a bar graph (option C) is needed since this type of graph allows us to express the variation in time, distance, temperature, quantities, weight, among others. In this specific case, a bar graph allows students to analyze the time that each type of seed takes to fall from the second floor. Additionally, this is the only graph that shows the data of the chart. For example, the first bar represents the black walnut and its time is 0,6 seconds, and this value is shown by the light blue bar in the graph, which represent the same seed. According to the above, the correct answer is C.

Which type of joint do you think allows for the greatest number of different movements? Explain your reasoning.
ella [17]

Answer:

Ball and socket joint.

Explanation:

In simple words a synovial joint is a type of joint which articulates two bones and also allows movement. Six types of synovial joints occur in our body at different locations. Ball and socket joint is one of that six types of joints. It is the joint which allows maximum movement of the joining bones because this joint is formed when one bone has a spherical end like a ball and the other bone covers this ball with a cup like structure called socket. Due to such arrangements of bones the joining bones can be moved in any direction and also they can be rotated to some extent.

liq [111]

He or she is said to be in a positive nitrogen balance state.

Nitrogen balance is the traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.
