At which type of plate boundary do tectonic plates slide past each other?

Biology
2 answers:
melamori03 [73]3 years ago

The answer would be conservative plate boundaries.

They occur where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. Friction is eventually overcome and the plates slip past in a sudden movement. The shockwaves created produce an earthquake.

I hope this helped and is correct! :)

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Plate motion takes place due to the generation of the convection current in the mantle. This mechanism forces the lithospheric crusts to move over the asthenosphere layer. This plate motion takes place in three ways-

1) <u>Divergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move in the opposite direction.

2) <u>Convergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move towards each other.

3) <u>Transform plate motion</u>- here, the <u>two plates slide past each other</u>. This type of plate boundary is also known as the <u>conservative plate boundary</u> as in this type of plate boundary, the plates are neither destroyed nor created. There occurs the conservation of plate boundary. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated due to this type of plate motion.

Thus the correct answer is option (4).

What are some examples of commensalism in an ecosystem?.
harina [27]
Commensalism is when one organism benefits off the other one without harming it. Examples are tree frogs that use plants for protection or jackals that have been expelled from packs trailing tigers and feeding on the remains of its kill. Barnacles on whales get shelter by attaching to a whales body

Answer:

Answer is option A.

Orchid bees are to Brazil nut trees as breezes are to pine trees.

Explanation:

In Brazil nut trees, the female orchid bees act as pollinators that help in pollination. In pine trees, wind or breeze helps in pollination.

Pine trees are gymnosperms and so they do not have flowers to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies or birds. They are wind-pollinated. Pine trees are monoecious i.e., both male and female reproductive structures (pine cones) are present on the same tree.

The male cones (catkins) produce pollen grains that are lightweight, less sticky and have air bladders or small wing-like structures. As a result of these features, the pollen grains can be easily carried and dispersed by the breeze. In order to prevent self pollination (pollen falling on the female cones of the same tree), the male cones are normally located on the lower branches of the pine tree.  

The female cones are located on the upper branches of the tree and the center of the cone contains eggs or ovules. The pollen grains that are carried by the wind, fall on the female cone of another pine tree. Each pollen grain grows a pollen tube into the center of the cone and the nucleus cell of the pollen travels through the tube and reaches the egg, where it combines with the egg to form an embryo. The embryo eventually grows into a seed. The seeds of pine trees are then dispersed by wind or animals such as squirrels.

Why is carbon so important in biology molecules?
KATRIN_1 [288]
Complex molecules are made up of other elements bonded with carbon. Carbon is able to bond with other molecules so easily because it has four valence electrons.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

The correct option is <em>B) ultraviolet region, especially below a wavelength of 320 nm.</em>

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light carries an enormous amount of energy in it. It is invisible to the human eye. When UV light with enormous energy and wavelength lesser than 320nm, hits the DNA, it causes changes in the structure of the DNA. Mostly, it affects the thymine nitrogenous base regions and forms pyrimidine dimers. The structure of the DNA changes on all the sites where dimers form and hence, they cannot be properly transcribed.
