What do you know about earthquakes?

Biology

Travka [436]3 years ago

From class, earthquake is any shaking or rapid motion of the Earth's solid layer. the plate tectonics cause stress on rocks which leads to breakage and breakage causes energy which causes earthquake :) 

There are also different types of Earthquake waves such as P. Waves, S. Waves, and Surface Waves

-P.Waves: "Primary" or "push-pull" and it travel faster than other waves

-S. Waves: "Secondary" or "side-to-side" and it leaves the epicenter at the same time as the P. Waves but travel slower and it reaches the location after the
P.waves hit

-Surface wave is the strongest and it only travel on the crush. it is a combo of the P. and S. waves

An earthquake is the sudden release of energy from the crust of the Earth, that results in a seismic wave. Using a seismograph, the interior of the Earth is mapped, finding the epicenter (origin) and magnitude (strength) of the quake.

what is the difference between the closed conformation and open conformation of chromatin packing? biology
Oduvanchick [21]

The shape of chromatin, which can be either open (euchromatin) or compact (heterochromatin), is dynamically regulated during the phases of the cell cycle is the two types of conformations.

  • The main distinction between conformation and configuration is that whereas the configurations of the same molecule do not easily interconvert, their conformations do.
  • With a predefined location in the nucleus and a certain form, such as metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, or telocentric, chromosomes are primarily heterochromatic in this stage.
  • All DNA-mediated processes, including gene regulation, can be significantly impacted by the degree of nucleosomal packaging.
  • While heterochromatin (tight or closed chromatin) is more compact and resistant to factors that need to access the DNA template, euchromatin (loose or open chromatin) structure is permissible for transcription.

muminat
The carbon cycle is one of earths natural resources that enables all living organisms to inhabit the planet. For example, with out this vital resource we would run out of oxygen. Flora (plants and trees) use the carbon that is a by product of cellular respiration by fauna (humans and animals) to reproduce oxygen and this cycle continues. which is what keeps all living organisms in harmony and alive.

Scientists calculated the net primary productivity at two different forest sites. Both forests have the same gross primary produ
Katen [24]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Net Primary Productivity is a term that is used to express the difference between CO2 that is taken in by the plant with photosynthesis minus CO2 that the plant releases.

The two forest sites given in the example may not have the same biodiversity and the same species of plants so we can't be sure of option B.

Again for the same reasons, we can't be sure of option D because we do not know the specific plant species in each forest since they are in different areas.

Option A can be ruled out for the same reasons, the lack of information about the forest sites, since we do not know the death rate of the plants in either of the forests.

Option C can be true because forest A has a higher net primary productivity rate which can be an indication of lower respiratory activity hence lower CO2 production, resulting in the given higher net primary productivity.

I hope this answer helps.
