Answer:

The correct answer is E. A fault is best described as fractured rock that has been displaced.

Explanation:

Transforming faults are lithospheric plate limits where there is neither subduction nor creation of lithosphere. They are located on the edge of tectonic plates and cut the ridges perpendicularly. The borders near this type of fault are geologically active (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.).

The most famous transforming fault is that of San Andreas. It is in fact a set of transforming faults which ensures the sliding of the Pacific plate against the North American plate.

If producers contain 100% of the energy in a food web,what amount of energy does the tertiary level receive
tekilochka [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Energy is left behind the food chain starting with one trophic level then onto the next. </em>

In any case, just around 10 percent of the complete energy put away in living beings at one trophic level is really moved to <em>living beings at the following trophic level. </em>

The remainder of the energy is utilized for metabolic procedures or lost to nature as warmth. Energy that isn't utilized in a <em>biological system</em> is in the end lost as warmth.

<em>Energy and supplements are gone around through the food chain, when one creature eats another life form.</em>
