Answer:

The correct option is D: Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Options A and B are incorrect because even though tectonic plates are constantly moving and crashing against each other at convergent plate boundaries, it is not responsible for causing an earthquake. Option C is also incorrect in the context of the question statement merely colliding does not result in an earthquake.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

Answer:

Faults form because crust gets cracked when plates move apart along divergent plate boundaries.

Explanation:

Due to the movement of the plates in two different directions, the crust gets cracked and this leads to the formation of divergent boundaries that pulls the two sides apart, and as a result, the earthquakes are created and some of them may occur in the same location. Rift valleys are also formed by this process.

Which is most likely not a beneficial contribution made by biologists?

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The activity that does not represent a beneficial contribution made by biologists is to improve the durability of non-stick coatings (option C).

Explanation:

The development and improvement of non-stick coatings does not correspond to an activity within the field of biology. Anti-stick coatings, such as Teflon, are products developed through industrial activity.

Biologists' activity is focused on living organisms and their interaction with the surrounding environment. Improving arable soils and food quality, as well as increasing life expectancy are activities that fall within the field of study of biology and its related disciplines.

(f) contact a local hospital and ask them the percentage of the population that is blood type o. why might the results differ?

Fudgin [204]

Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results.

The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients

I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa.

I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area.

Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)
