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 is prokaryote and eukaryote? give there characteristic .
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer & Explanation:

<u><em>Prokaryote</em></u>: a microscopic single-celled organism that has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles. Prokaryotes include the bacteria and cyanobacteria.

<u><em>Characteristic of prokaryote</em></u>: lack an organized nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. Prokaryotic DNA is found in a central part of the cell called the nucleoid. The cell wall of a prokaryote acts as an extra layer of protection, helps maintain cell shape, and prevents dehydration.

<em><u>Eukaryote</u></em>: an organism consisting of a cell or cells in which the genetic material is DNA in the form of chromosomes contained within a distinct nucleus. Eukaryotes include all living organisms other than the eubacteria and archaebacteria.

<u><em>Characteristic of eukaryote</em></u>: larger than prokaryotic cells and have a “true” nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and directs the synthesis of proteins and ribosomes
