Scientists use triangulation to find the epicenter of an earthquake. When seismic data is collected from at least three different locations, it can be used to determine the epicenter by where it intersects. Every earthquake is recorded on numerous seismographs located in different directions. Each seismograph records the times when the first (P waves) and second (S waves) seismic waves arrive. From that information, scientists can determine how fast the waves are traveling. Knowing this helps them calculate the distance from the epicenter to each seismograph.
To determine the direction each wave traveled, scientists draw circles around the seismograph locations. The radius of each circle equals the known distance to the epicenter. Where these three circles intersect is the epicenter.
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
"Ammonification" is NOT a process that drives the carbon cycle.
<u>Option: B</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The organisms circulate carbon-di-oxide in carbon cycle by going through respiration, decomposition, sedimentation, and photosynthesis process but not ammonification. Basically the actual source of nitrogen is agricultural, when a plant or animal passes or an animal disperses waste.
In the remains, bacteria or fungi turn the organic nitrogen back into ammonium, a cycle called ammonisation or mineralisation. Then the micro-organisms generate metabolically required energy from organic nitrogen oxidation into ammonium. Ammonium is then essential for assimilation and absorption into amino acids or for use in other metabolic applications.
