The given blank can be filled with rebound.

The elastic rebound theory refers to an illustration for how energy is discharged at the time of earthquakes. As rocks on opposite ends of a fault are subjected to force and shift, they gather energy and gradually deform until their inner strength is exceeded.

As adjacent plates on the surface of the Earth move in reverse orientations, the rocks that cover the opposing ends of the incipient fault are imperiled to extreme shear stress.

What information can a scientist learn directly from a single fossil? A. The organism's shape and size B. The life expectancy of

Elena L [17]

C. How the organism is related to others

Explanation:

From a single fossil, a scientist can learn how the organism is related to others. Fossils are the preserved remains of organisms that are usually found in rocks.

Organisms must posses certain characteristics to ensure their preservation as fossils.
Most organisms that are preserved usually have hard parts.
Some climatic influence can also arrest decay and provide a platform organisms to be preserved wholly.
Fossils are used for relative dating of events in nature.
They can also be used to determine how an organism is related to another.
This is called phylogeny. It is the study of evolution and how organisms relates to one another.
Fossils are very good and useful phylogenetic tools.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

a.)fault:A fault is a planar crack or discontinuity in a volume of rock over which rock-mass motions have caused considerable displacement.

b.)focus:The focus is on the location where an earthquake begins deep under the Earth's crust.

c.)epicenter:The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the earth's surface that is vertically above the epicenter.

d.)seismic waves:Seismic waves are elastic waves that occur in the ground as a result of an earthquake or other natural occurrence.
