Answer:

Earthquakes are usually caused when rock underground suddenly breaks along a fault. This sudden release of energy causes seismic waves to be released, causing the ground to shake.

Earthquakes are caused by movement in the tectonic plates(known as plate tectonics).

This usually happens in plate boundaries(where one plate meets another), due to the pressure that builds up as the plates try to move, since tectonic plates are constantly moving

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

It cannot conduct electricity, however adding salt or sugar will make the water have impurities/other substance making it easier to conduct electricity

Explanation:

Distilled water by itself does not contain impurities, thus, it cannot <em>conduct </em>electricity.

When you put salt in water, the water molecules pull the sodium and chlorine ions apart so they are floating freely, increasing the conductivity.

Which of the following is an acid-base neutralization reaction? (1 point)
GuDViN [60]
It would be NaOH + HCl → <span>NaCl + H2O
</span>
NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base. HCl  is hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid. 

You have a strong base and a strong acid on the left side, however, at the result side, you end up with NaCl + H2O. Sodium chloride is simply table salt and H2O is just water, thus it has been neutralized.
