TiliK225 [7]3 years ago

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!

What would be the advantages of using “natural regeneration” over stem cell transplants?
Serhud [2]
In the science world today, both the natural regeneration and stem cell therapy can be used to generate new cells and both processes have thier advantages and disadvantages. The following are the advantages of natural regeneration over stem cell transplants:
1. Natural regeneration is cheaper compares to stem cell transplant.
2. The process of natural regeneration is safe and does not involve the fear of unknown, long time effects like that of stem cell transplant.
3. Naturally regenerated cells can not be rejected by the patient's body but a stem cell transplanted cell can be rejected by the patient's body.
