The correct answers are:

- plates moving;

- breaking rocks;

- movement bellow the surface;

The earthquakes are a direct result of the plate tectonics. In order for an earthquake to appear, there should be a geologic activity caused by the movement of the tectonic plates. The movement of the tectonic plates causes a lot of pressure on the rocks. The rocks eventually break at certain places under the pressure. A they break, there's movement bellow the surface, or rather inside the crust, also referred to as adjustment. That movement and the release of power from it, causes lot of strong vibrations. The vibrations spread out and start shaking the ground in the surrounding area, which is actually the earthquake itself.

What would you expect to happen to levels of mevalonate in human plasma if an individual were to go from a meat-containing diet
enyata [817]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

The mevalonate pathway is known to generate isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, which are used to synthesize diverse compounds including cholesterol and steroid hormones. The levels of mevalonate in human plasma may be used as a measure of cholesterol synthesis. When the cholesterol level is low, it stimulates its endogenous production by the mevalonate pathway. Since it is well known that the vegetarian diet reduces cholesterol, this diet also increases mevalonate levels.

A healthy Caribbean reef is home to over 50 species of coral and over 400 fish species. In this simplified model, we only consid
N76 [4]

Answer:

Without the model, we can't help you. But a healthy coral reef would most likely have some kind of productive ecosystem.

Explanation:

I would assume the the diagram includes a reference to fish, algae or other plant-like life, and the coral itself. The coral polyps are in a symbiotic relationship with algae; the algae provide the polyps with energy via photosynthesis and the polyps build "homes" for the algae and other species living in the reef (the "home" for algae is literally the coral reef).

Other species like animal life use the reef as a place of protection against larger predators. Fish frequent reefs since many types of aquatic predators dislike shallow waters and coral reefs provide plenty of nooks and crannies to hide inside.
