In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.

This happens because there are several moon phases that occur over a month. Such as the new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter, etc. This changes the view of the moon from its' angle.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Leaves

Explanation:

Plants grow broad leaves to absorb sunlight. This is extremely helpful because this helps plants make food through photosynthesis. Roots don't absorb sunlight. They absorb water and nutrients from the soil and carry it up through the stems. The stems then transports the nutrients throughout the plant.

What evidence supports Hess's theory of seafloor spreading? Check all that apply.
Zarrin [17]

The direction iron in ocean rocks points

The new crust, formed at constructive/divergent boundary (regarding tectonic plate movement), has band-like patterns that orient in different directions (in alignment with earth's magnetic fields) and visible on the surface. This shows that it is newly made crust made from new magma.

Explanation:

These bands are firmed when the iron minerals in magma orient themselves with the earth's magnetic field before the magma cols into rock and lock the minerals permanently in position. This magma upwells from the mantle to fill the void made when the tectonic plates are moving away from each other.

The earth's magnetic field on the other hand is dynamic. Its angle increases gradually from the true north or south and then flips orientation over several hundred years. The iron minerals therefore will align differently depending on the orientation of the earths magnetic field at the time. This is why the new crust has band-like features visible on its surface.

One consequence of CFCS pollution is increased rates of skin cancer in humans. 
Cholofluorocarbons cause the breakdown of the ozone layer that protects the earth from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. Once in the atmosphere, CFCs drift slowly upward to the stratosphere, where they are brojken up by ultraviolet radiation, releasing the chlorine that catalytically destroys ozone.
