Answer:
<u>Liquefaction</u> refers to the tendency of a foundation material (such as soil) that is water-logged to lose its internal cohesion and mechanically fail to provide support during earthquake shaking.
Explanation:
Liquefaction occurs when an unbound material (usually sand), which is saturated in water, loses its resistance to shear due to intense and rapid vibration (earthquake), which breaks its granular structure by reducing its inter-granular pressure and flow like a liquid because of an increase in pressure.
Liquefaction usually manifests itself in loose, saturated and non-cohesive soils, formed by young deposits of sands and sediments of similar particle sizes. If the soil is dense there will be less chances of liquefaction. Older deposits, in general, are more dense and cohesive. At higher density, more interstitial pressure is needed for liquefaction to occur.
Answer:
As a result of the Hershey and Chase experiments, scientists believe
that the “transforming principle” is DNA.
Explanation:
Hershey and Chase determined that DNA, not protein, was the inherent material. They resolute that a defensive protein coat was molded everywhere the bacteriophage, but that the interior DNA is what discussed its capability to produce offspring inside a bacterium. Transformation occurs when one bacterium picks up free-floating DNA and incorporates it into its own genome. When scientists first observed this behavior, it seemed that genes were transforming one type of bacteria into another, so they concluded there must be a 'transforming principle' at work.
