3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move.
4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea.
5. An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption.
6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter.
7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.
8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.
9. The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure
10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.
11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended.
12. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)
14.
Answer:
Every living organism is made up of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphates. Nitrogen and carbon are found in amino acids which make up proteins. Phosphates make up DNA and ATP.
Explanation:
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A substitution is where a base is substituted by another base
A. ATGAT - this is not a substitution, the C has been <u>deleted</u>
B. UAGCUA - this is not a substitution, but is the complementary mRNA sequence (you can tell because there are Us instead of Ts)
C. TAGCTA - this is not a substitution, but is the complementary DNA sequence
D. ATGGAT - this is a substitution, the C in the original sequence has been replaced (substituted) by a G.
the molecules start slowing down til the molecules are able to move over each almost like a solids molecules
The Ring of Fire is an area on our world map where the a bunch of earthquakes and volcano eruptions happen.
The places where that happen make a Big, Red Ring
