In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.
<u>Explanation:</u>
They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.
Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.
Answer:
D. Osmosis
Explanation: a process by which molecules of a solvent tend to pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution into a more concentrated one, thus equalizing the concentrations on each side of the membrane.
A community refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location or area. This is part of the levels of organization of life. Arranged from the least complex to most
complex it falls 8th in the category. Below are the organization of life:<span>
a. Organelles - the basic part of a living
organism. It refers to the different structures of the cell, whether
prokaryotic or eukaryotic. (Ex. Mitochondria, nucleus)
b. Cells - building blocks of life that are
composed of different molecules responsible for the function of an organism.
(Example: prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells)
c. Tissues - combinations of cells that carry
out a specific function in an organism. (Example: Human skin)
d. Organs - collections of tissues that perform
specific functions. (Ex. heart, lungs)
e. Organ Systems - composed of interconnected
organs that function as a whole. Many organisms, particularly mamamals, are
composed of organ systems. (Ex. respiratory, circulatory systems)
f. Organisms – individual entities that
specifically make-up a population. (Ex. Each tree in the forest is an organism,
each animal in sea is an organism)</span>
g. Population – species living within a specific location. It could be
the same or different species that inhabit a place. (Ex. Birds are species in
the forest as well as bears)
h. Community – refers to the total number of populations that inhabit a
specific location. (Ex. All of the trees, insects, birds that inhabit the
forest are a community)
i. Ecosystem – consists of all living things that function together as a
group which also includes the non-living parts of the environment. (Ex. Rain
water, nitrogen in the soil)
<span>j. Biosphere – the highest organization of life that consist of all the
collection of ecosystems in the planet. It includes the land, air, water, even
the atmosphere of the planet. </span>
Explanation:
The environmental sciences have documented large and worrisome changes in earth systems, from climate change and loss of biodiversity, to changes in hydrological and nutrient cycles and depletion of natural resources. These global environmental changes have potentially large negative consequences for future human well-being, and raise questions about whether global civilization is on a sustainable path or is “consuming too much” by depleting vital natural capital (13). The increased scale of economic activity and the consequent increasing impacts on a finite Earth arises from both major demographic changes—including population growth, shifts in age structure, urbanization, and spatial redistributions through migration and rising per capita income and shifts in consumption patterns, such as increases in meat consumption with rising income (19, 20).
