The correct answer is option C, Italy has experienced many earthquakes.

According to the theory of plate tectonics, Earth is an active planet. Its surface comprises various individual plates, which interact and move, continuously modifying and reshaping the outer layer of the Earth. Volcanoes and earthquakes both are the outcomes of the movement of tectonic plates.

Earthquakes take place on faults, strike-slip earthquakes take place on strike-slip faults, usual earthquakes take place on normal faults, and thrust earthquakes take place on reverse or thrust faults. When an earthquake takes place on one of these faults, the rock on one end of the fault slips in relation to the other.

Answer:

No, coyote will not become the apex predator.

Explanation:

No, coyote will not become the apex predator but greatly reduces the populations of foxes in order to reduce competition for available resources. Yes, The coyote population will decreases because t he gray wolf kills coyote to avoid competition for food resources. If another wolf is introduced to fit the same ni che, the coyote population will decrease because the wolf feeds on coyote. As the number of coyotes increase, the number of beavers will decrease because coyote feeds on beaver. If the gray wolf became extinct,  the coyote population increases in that location due to no predator.

Why can information only pass in one direction across synapse?? pls help !!
klio [65]
A Nerve electrical impulse only travels in one direction. There are several reasons nerve impulses only travel in one direction. The most important is synaptic transport.
In order for a "nerve impulse" to pass from cell to cell, it must cross synaptic junctions. The nerve cells are lined up head to tail all the way down a nerve track, and are not connected, but have tiny gaps between them and the next cell. These tiny gaps are called synapses.
When you get a nerve firing, you have probably heard that it is an electrical impulse that carries the signal. This is true, but it is not electrical in the same way your wall outlet works. This is electrochemical energy. Neurotransmitters are molecules that fit like a lock and key into a specific receptor. The receptor is located on the next cell in the line. When the neurotransmitter hits the receptor on the next cell in line, it signals that cell to begin a firing as well.
This will continue all the way down the length of the nerve track. In a nutshell, a nerve firing results in a chain reaction down the nerve cell's axon, or stemlike section. Sodium (Na+) ions flow in, potassium (K+) ions flow out, and we get an electrochemical gradient flowing down the length of the cell. You can think of it as a line of gunpowder that someone lit, with the flame traveling down the length of it. Common electrical power is more like a hose full of water, and when you put pressure on one end, the water shoots out the other.
Therefore, nerve impulses cannot travel in the opposite direction, because nerve cells only have neurotransmitter storage vesicles going one way, and receptors in one place.
