Answer:
B. Stress caused by forces that stretch an area of the crust made the rock to break
Explanation:
From the picture inserted to this problem, we see a unit that has been severely fractured.
Fracturing results from the brittle deformation of a rock under applied stress.
- Rock fracturing results in the formation of joints and faults.
- We can obviously see different sets of joint sets on the body of the rock in the picture attacked.
- Also, a prominent fault which resembles an extensional fault can also be seen.
- Therefore, the stress caused the stretch of the area which in turn makes the rock the rock to break.
Answer:
C) Interaction increases the survival and reproductive rates of mutualistic species.
Explanation:
A) Mutualism offer more biodiversity to a community.
Biodiversity is the different species living in one environment. Since mutualism is only involving two species, it wouldn't increase the biodiversity of one ecosystem, making it incorrect.
B) Individuals partaking in a mutualistic relationship relationship are more resistant to parasites.
Mutualism is only benefiting two species, not their immunity to diseases and parasites. These two have no correlation with each other, making it incorrect.
D) Mutualistic interaction lessens competition in communities where it is present.
Since mutualism is only benefiting two species, they have no correlation since the relationship doesn't affect the different species in the environment.
E) Mutualistic relationships allow organisms to synthesize and use energy more efficiently.
Although there could be some relationships involving energy transfer between the species, that would sound more like commensalism or even paratsitism if you think about it. However, it is very uncommon and usually energy has no relationship with species relationships, making it incorrect.
Hope this helps! My deepest apologies if I got in incorrect!
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship between organisms in which each species benefits and is unharmed.
An example would be flowers and bees. Flowers give bees pollen and nectar, and the bees help with the reproduction of flowers.
