3. It's because of the heat underneath the crust of the Earth. Because heat rises, the molten rock and such underneath the crust rises to the top and then the movement underneath causes things on top to move.
4. Plates are the different sections that the lithosphere has been cracked into. These plates once all fit together as a giant plate called Pangaea.
5. An earthquake is a sudden, sometimes violent shaking of the ground, as a result of the shifting of tectonic plates, or volcanic eruption.
6. On the magnitude scale, earthquakes range from 2.5 or less (usually never felt but strong enough to be detected by seismograph) to 8.0 or higher. Causes extreme damage; enough to destroy whole cities at once if close enough to the epicenter.
7. Depends on what kind you're looking for. I'd look it up for your specific topic.
8. To apply a forces to something, usually resulting in a stretch.
9. The action of compressing something, to flatten or squeeze by pressure
10. A strain on the layers of something because of pressure, resulting in the shifting of those layers.
11. In areas undergoing extension or stretching. It's when the crust is extended.
12. The hanging wall drops relative to the footwall.
13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)
14.
Answer:
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.
Dodo bird, Passenger Pigeon, and Tasmanian Tiger. Hope this helps!
Answer:
An increase in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
Liquid; gas
Lacking oxygen
To decrease the temperature in the compost pile
Explanation:
1. Methane is one of the greenhouse gases. When these gases are released into the atmosphere, they increase the temperature of the earth surface because they trap heat within the earth. Other examples are carbon dioxide and water vapor.
2. Evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas. During this process, heat is supplied to a liquid. When the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy, they then begin to break off into gaseous form. The reverse process of evaporation is condensation.
3. Anaerobic is a process that lacks oxygen. Aerobic processes are carried out with the availability of oxygen.
4. The reason why compost should be regularly mixed is to decrease the temperature in the compost pile. Portions of the compost can have a higher temperature than other parts. Therefore, mixing the compost will help to redistribute the heat in the compost.
