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

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 is the concentration of a suspension that grew 89 colonies on a plate with a dilution of 1:100?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

8900 CFU/mL

Explanation:

Colony Forming Units (CFU) is a value that indicates the degree of microbiological contamination of an environment. It expresses the relative number of microorganisms of a given taxon in a volume of one cubic meter of water.

UFC is the minimum number of separable cells on the surface, or inside, of a semi-solid agar medium that results in the development of a visible colony of the order of tens of millions of descending cells. The CFUs can be pairs, chains or clusters, as well as individual cells. Colony forming unit.

Calculation

Colonies * Dilution = CFU/mL

89          *  (100/ 1 mL) = CFU/mL

8900 CFU/mL
