Answer:

The elastic-rebound theory explain the occurrence of earthquakes in b. When bending rocks fail, stress energy is released in the form of earthquakes.

Explanation:

The energy released as earthquakes result from when bending rocks fail and there is a rupture from the fault line. Because earthquakes are sudden movements from ruptures, the answer a is not correct. c. is also not correct because it is not the surrounding crust that vibrates but the crust is divided between two moving plates. d is also not correct because the opposite rocks are under sheer stress and the energy released is a stress energy, not a tension energy.

How does sustainable food production meet the demands of the global population explosion
Masteriza [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Ensuring a sustainable supply of food for the world's fast growing population is a major challenge. Food production is one of the key areas that require action, alongside issues of food consumption, nutrition and food security. </em>

<em> It is estimated that by 2050 the world's population will reach 9.1 billion (34% higher than today). Food production will need to increase by 70% to feed the larger and most likely more urban population.1 More food will have to be produced using less land. In addition water and energy will become limiting factors. </em>

<em> Added to the challenge is that sustainable food products need to be nutrient-dense to allow people to have a diverse diet that contains a balanced and adequate combination of energy and nutrients to support good health.</em>
