Answer:

This is antibiotic resistance. It occurs with over use of antibiotics.

When antibiotics are over used, likely targeted bacteria are being   killed constantly even in absence of an infection. However,  few  bacteria may resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure) , and therefore survived. If these resistant bacteria who were able to survive the selective pressure  reproduce, they pass the resistant trait/ gene into their offspring.

Therefore with continuous exposure to antibiotics, they will  resist the antibiotics effects(selective pressure),and thus reducing the effectiveness  of antibiotic treatments  with subsequent application.

Hey there!

The answer is

Newtons first law of inertia. "An object with no net forces acting on it which is initially at rest will remain at rest. If it is moving, it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity"

How the seismic tracings recorded at station A and station B indicate that station A is farther from the earthquake epicenter th
VMariaS [17]

The seismic traces recorded at station A and station B indicate that station A is further from the earthquake epicenter than station B because the ground movement detected at B was greater than that detected at A, with seismic waves more frequent and less frequent respectively.

<h3>Seismograph</h3>

A seismograph is a device that detects ground movements, including those generated by seismic waves. It consists of the basic sensor of the seismographic instruments of which the seismograph and the seismoscope are part. These movements are then recorded in seismographs, which have been plotted graphs called seismographs.

<h3> Propagation speed</h3>

Seismic station A is located 5,400 kilometers from the earthquake's epicenter. How long would it take for the first S wave produced by this earthquake to reach seismic station A? The propagation speed of this type of waves varies with the medium in which they propagate, with typical values ​​of

  • 330 m/s in air
  • 1 450 m/s in water
  • and 5 000 m/s in granite.

They are not as destructive as S waves or the surface waves that follow them. The propagation speed of these waves is, in general, slightly less than twice that of S waves.

With this information, we can conclude the velocity of propagation of seismic waves and how a seismograph enumerates the distance from the epicenter of an earthquake.
