Biology
1 answer:
Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

because California is located on the San Andreas Fault

Explanation:

California is one of the states that have higher seismic activity because it lies on an individual fault known as the San Andreas Fault. Faults are regions where two tectonic plates are moving with respect to one another, thereby they are prone to suffer earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault is a continental fault that extends approximately 800 miles (1,200 kilometers) through the US state. Conversely, earthquakes in North Dakota are uncommon because this state is located in the middle of a tectonic plate. The last earthquake in North Dakota had a magnitude of 3.3 (Richter Scale) and it happened almost 10 years ago (2012), in Williston.

3. The mechanism in which organisms best suited for their environment survive<br> and reproduce.
lys-0071 [83]

The mechanism in which organisms best suited for their environment survive

and reproduce <u>NATURAL SELECTION.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

When individuals in a population compete for resources or live in their environment, the individuals with the slightest advantage over the others have an increased chance of reaching maturity and  reproducing to passing down their genes to the next generations.

Natural selection works on the variations of the population to ‘select’ the best alleles of genes in the population that offer an advantage in ‘survival for the fittest’. This how natural selection fits a population to its environment. The greater the variation within a population, the higher its capacity to adapt to changes in the environment.

shutvik [7]

Answer;

-Cell

Explanation;

-The cell is the smallest structural and functional unit of living organisms, which can exist on its own. Therefore, it is sometimes called the building block of life. Cells make up the smallest level of a living organism such as human beings and other living things.

-The cellular level of an organism is where the metabolic processes occur that keep the organism alive. That is why the cell is called the fundamental unit of life. Some organisms, such as bacteria or yeast, are unicellular; consisting only of a single cell, while others, for instance, mammalians, are multicellular.
