Answer:

Earthquakes are caused by a sudden release of stress along faults in the earth's crust. The continuous motion of tectonic plates causes a steady build-up of pressure in the rock strata on both sides of a fault until the stress is sufficiently great that it is released in a sudden movement.

When farmers in Central America do NOT use pesticides on bananas, it generally results in taller banana trees and larger bananas

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The farmers in Central America have been using pesticides extensively in the past several decades. While everyone would prefer that the bananas, as well as the other fruits, be all natural, organic, it is simply not practical and that type of production will result in deficit of the product on the market. The reason why the pesticides are used so much is so that the tree is not attacked by diseases and pests and the bananas to get destroyed.

The usage of pesticides actually contributes to the tree growing taller and being healthier, as the diseases and pests are mostly eliminated. The bananas themselves are too larger and in higher quantity, so the demand on the market is largely satisfied.
