The answer is Faults are storing elastic strain. To simplify, seismic gaps are places where scientist think that faults are keeping elastic strain. In addition, scientists think that stress on a fault constructs up to a critical point and is then unconstrained as an earthquake. The seismic gaps are areas in which no earthquakes have occurred over a long period of time and therefore are probable to be under a high volume of stress.
The correct answer is A
volcanic eruption
Volcanic eruption is defined as the sudden rush of energy materials such as gas,lava and steam. all the others processes takes a great deal of time. For example decomposition takes a long time. Pond succession is dependent on settling of debris and hence takes a long time. regrowing of a forest after a a volcanic eruption can span several years,especially if indigenous trees are the main tree species.
<span>biomes vary in their rates of net primary production-biomass that remains after cellular respiration limited by sunlight and nutrients available
In general, warmer and wetter biomes have higher net primary productivity than colder and drier biomes. The reason for this trend is that plants require sunlight, water, and temperatures warm enough to grow. This is true even in aquatic ecosystems, where sunlight and the availability of nutrients determine the level of net primary productivity.</span>
C- mushroom
Mushrooms break down (decompose) dead cells of animals and plants.
Algae, lichen, and oak trees go through photosynthesis and are producers.
