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.

13. This is what happens when the hanging wall <u>rises</u> relative to the footwall. (The opposite of a normal fault)

Answer:
b. They cannot reproduce outside of a host cell.
Explanation:
Viruses are <em>parasitic organisms</em> that need a<em> host</em> in order to<u> thrive</u> and <u>reproduce</u>. This means that they cannot replicate outside of a host cell, but can only do this by parasitizing it. They have to find a host cell in order to continue their life-cycle or else they won't thrive. The word "obligate" means <em>being restricted to a specific mode or function in life</em>. This shows that the virus has a restriction when it comes to <u><em>reproduction.</em></u> It cannot reproduce without finding a host cell.
The weathering process occurs when rocks are exposed to the hydrosphere (water) and atmosphere (air).
Answer: a.) Comic strip
Explanation: Red blood cells pick up oxygen in the lungs. Blood travels away from the heart and lungs through the arteries. Red blood cells drop off oxygen to the cells through tiny tubes called capillaries. Then starts all over back at the heart.
