The correct answer is plate tectonics. The outermost shell of Earth, called the lithosphere, is partitioned into different tectonic plates (7 or 8 major ones). When a plate breaks along what are called faults, there is a release of energy, which causes seismic waves (the ground shaking). This shaking then causes several plates to rub against each other, and when they break, the earthquake results.

Hope this helps! Feel free to mark me brainliest!

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Released.

Explanation:

The bonds between the phosphates in ATP are very high energy, meaning that the bonds really really want to break because phosphates don't like being so close to each other.  When the bonds do break, a ton of energy is released (think of it like a celebration that they aren't so close anymore).

inn [45]
The importance of the semi-conservative model is unhealthy old and new genes cancel each other. The result new cells are disease and mutation free. ...
