Earthquakes have several natural causes. Plate tectonics cause earthquakes when rock bodies slide past each other along fault pl

anes. Volcanic activity can cause earthquakes by fracturing the rock surrounding a magma chamber. Isostatic adjustments can also cause earthquakes when rock bodies slide past each other vertically. Finally, the motion of large landslides can cause small earthquakes. Identify which of these causes involve the release of elastic energy and which do not. Recall that elastic strain is the result of a deforming force that distorts a body’s shape and size. When the deforming force is removed, elastic energy is released.

Answer:

<em>Natural causes of earthquakes </em>

Explanation:

Earthquakes are triggered<em> by the rapid energy release in some of the Earth's small rocks. Energy can be released by elastic stress, gravity, chemical reactions, or even massive body motion.</em>

The release of elastic strain is the most important cause of all these, because this form of energy is the only sort that can be stored in sufficient quantities on Earth to create major disruptions. This type of energy release related earthquakes is called tectonic earthquakes.

To promote the growth of vegetation, Aborigines __________.
castortr0y [4]
A. Used fire to do controlled burns

The result of  controlled burns were highly beneficial to both the Aborigines and the environment. The burnt remains of the burns were very fertile and encouraged the growth of new vegetation that would not have been able to flourish if the older growth had not been removed. The removal of old vegetation also resulted in a low chance of wild fires. Further more new vegetation was able to attract wildlife to graze, making hunting easier. 

The concept of controlled burns is still used today and was/is also practiced by First Nations in North America.
