The correct answer is (c) Can move in any direction.

The movement of tectonic plates that led to the shaking of surface of the earth. The energy is released in the form of seismic waves. The place from where the earthquake starts is called focus. These waves are very intense. There are two more types of waves that are responsible for the movement of ground surface. The raylegh wave makes the ground surface move up and down. They cause most of the movement of ground. The side to side movement of ground surface is controlled by love wave.

During an earthquake, the ground surface can move in any direction.

Further Explanation:

An earthquake is a phenomenon that is characterized by the sudden slip of tectonic plates one past the other. The fault plane is the surface where they slip. The hypocenter is the location beneath the earth's surface from where the earthquake starts. The epicenter is the location directly on top of the surface.

The earth has different layers :

  • Inner core
  • Outer core
  • Mantle
  • Crust

The edges of the tectonic plates are called plate boundaries.Many faults make up the plate boundaries and mainly earthquakes occur around these faults.

When the plates are moving they get stuck because the verge of the plates is uneven. Finally, when the plates have moved far enough from its edge in any direction this results in earthquake. Thus, at the time of earthquake surface of the ground can move in any direction. The intensity of an earthquake is measured by seismographs.

Sort the different barriers into their modes of reproductive isolation. A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to
Stella [2.4K]

Answer/Explanation:

Types of reproductive isolation include: temporal, ecological, mechanical, and behavioural.

A snail with a flat disc-like shell will not be able to mate with a snail having a conical shell - this is an example of mechanical isolation, where the animals are physically unable to mate due to incompatible body shapes and sizes.

The reproductive organs of male bush babies do not match with the reproductive organs of females of other bush baby species. - this is another example of mechanical isolation, as the sexual organs will physically not allow reproduction between these species

The mating call of a cricket is not recognized by a cricket of other species - this is an example of behavioural isolation, which results from incompatible mating rituals. I.e. the animals do not respond to each others mating behaviours

The signals sent by a male firefly are not recognized by the female firefly of other species. - this is also an example of behavioural isolation.

Temporal isolation is where species cannot interact because they do not have the same mating seasons or are not active at the same type of day. ?Ecological isolation occurs when two species do not come into physical contact to one another because they access different areas of the habitat. E.g. mating zones, food sources or nesting sites.

What is the approximate duration of sensory memory?
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

STM is capable of storing information for 10–15 seconds without rehearsal while working memory actively processes, manipulates, and controls the information. Information from STM can then be consolidated into long-term memory where memories can last a lifetime.
