<span>By locating active faults, geologists can determine the likelyhood of earthquakes in a region. A fault is a crack in the earth's surface along which movement occurs. Movement along faults cause earthquakes. Seismologists use various intruments such as GPS and seismographs to monitor movement along faults to attempt to predict the likelihood of a quake. </span>

<span>The word that would best complete the sentence, "By locating active ____, geologist determine the likelihood of earthquake in a region", is fault line. The presence of the fault lines increased the risk of a certain area to the disasters such as earthquake when there is a movement underground. </span>

Starting on the outside of the skull, use a flow chart to order the following list in the

cestrela7 [59]

The order is:
Auricle (outer ear or pinna)
Auditory meatus (ear canal)
Tympanic membrane (eardrum)
The ossicles (ear bones) - malleus, then incus, then stapes
Oval window (where stapes transmits vibrations into cochlea)
Cochlea (the snail shell lines internally by specialized cells that form the organ of Corti)
Organ of corti (specialized “hair” cells that pick up vibrations from the fluid in the cochlea)
Vestibulocochlear nerve (transmits signals to brain for processing)
Temporal lobe (brain region that processes auditory information)

I’d recommend you do a quick google search as well to take a look at a diagram showing all this anatomy!

How might research on the flow of matter and energy through ecosystems be helpful to creating a colony on mars?

spayn [35]

Explanation:

This research could help determine how efficient energy and matter transfer is through the ecosystem. Currently, it is known that this transfer is very inefficient with a mere 10% energy transfer captured in biomass from one trophic level to another. Most of the energy is lost to the environment mainly as heat energy.

It is, therefore, critical that research determines ways of drastically enhance this efficiency so as to be able to colonise Mars. It will be required that whatever humans grow/rear on Mars in small modified fields translate into a high transfer of energy when consumed by humans. This makes it tenable to sustain humans on the distant planet.

Are scientific theories absolute truths? Why or why not?

dexar [7]

A scientific theory can always be disproved if someone comes along with better evidence which shows another theory is true. However, most other theories are small improvements on existing ones. Evolution and natural selection (the theory that animals' populations change over time because their environment encourages specific different features for individuals that happen with mutation) was an improvement on the existing "theory" that animals were built to be fit for their environments. The earth rotating around the sun was a theory improving on the idea that the sun and the earth move around so that it looks like the sun moves around the earth. All of these happened because there was evidence, so while theories aren't always absolutely true, many modern theories are typically well-tested and if they aren't, they are usually refered to as hypotheses or models (although models can sometimes also be theories, like the Standard Model)
