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

Biology

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).

An example of chemical digestion is the breakdown of __________ into __________.
vodomira [7]
starch into glucose
proteins
into amino acids
lipids
into fatty acids

There are many more examples of chemical digestion which takes place in the body. Chemical digestion is the breaking of larger more complex molecules into smaller, simpler ones that can be taken up by the cells more easily and readily by the use of chemical agents.. Chemical digestion is carried out primarily using biological molecules called enzymes. For example, the breakdown of starch is done by an enzyme known as amylase, which is present in the saliva.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Parasympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The parasympathetic nervous system of the autonomic nervous system is activated to restore the body's energy level after the emergency conditions. This division of the autonomic nervous system triggers the digestion and absorption of nutrients so that body cells obtain and conserve energy.

Some of the responses generated by activated parasympathetic division are increased activity of glands associated with the digestive system and increased the contraction of smooth muscles of the digestive tract. The parasympathetic nervous system also slows down the responses required for physical activities such as heart rate and breathing rate.
