1. Why is California at hingher for earthquakes than North Dakota

Answers

Answer 1

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.

Scientists believe that there are three jeans what contribute to skin color in humans.


Which of these best describes the inheritance pattern of skin color?

A. Multiple allele in which offspring recessive three allele from each parent.

B. Multiple allele in which offspring recessive three allele from only one parent.

C. Polygenic in which offspring recessive three allele from each parent.

D. Polygenic in which offspring recessive three allele from only one parent.

Answers

Answer:

C. Polygenic in which offspring receive three allele from each parent.

Explanation:

In genetics, a polygenic inheritance is an inheritance that involves more than one gene i.e. more than one gene controls a particular trait. This is the case of the skin color trait in humans, which is controlled by three genes.

However, since each gene contains two alleles, each parent will contribute three alleles for the three genes to the development of an offspring i.e. three alleles from the father and three from the mother will result in three genes in the offspring, each containing two alleles.

a cross that results from a yellow and a purple allele together will result in what color corn kernel?

1.) yellow
2.) purple
3.) orange
4.) doesn’t exist

Answers

Answer:

1.) yellow

Explanation:

The high possibility of corn kernel colour is yellow if the yellow colour allele is dominant because the dominant trait or allele always appear in the offspring while on the other hand, the recessive allele does not appear in the shape and structure of the offspring so we can say that dominance is the reason for the appearance of colour in the seed or kernel.

Des a magnetic field flows though the inside of a magnet

Answers

Answer:

Magnetic field lines are defined to have the direction that a small compass points when placed at a location. (a) If small compasses are used to map the magnetic field around a bar magnet, they will point in the directions shown: away from the north pole of the magnet, toward the south pole of the magnet.

Explanation:

Answer:

However, the magnetic field lines do not just end at the tip of the magnet. They go right through it, so that inside the magnet the magnetic field points from the south pole to the north pole. Thus the magnetic field lines form a closed loop and do not have any ends.

Or else the food can be used up by plants to carry out their metabolic activities ( activities at cellular level which keeps the plant alive ) like cellular respiration

Answer:

The food that is prepared by the plant is utilized for its metabolic processes, the excess food is stored in the form of starch, in the plants. ... The plants prepare starch by a process of photosynthesis with the sunlight along with "water and carbon dioxide

The food produced by the plants is in the form of sugar and the extra sugar produced is changed to starch and is stored in different parts of the plant such as in roots, stems, leaves, fruits and flowers.

how does shell color work to protect the egg from sunlight?

Answers

Answer:

Birds that live in cool climates lay darker eggs, as darker colors absorb more heat from the sunlight

Birds that live in hotter climates lay lighter eggs to prevent the egg from overheating.

The pigmentation acts to thermo-regulate the internal temperature of the egg, acting as a buffer between the embryo and the outside world. It does this by preventing overheating of the egg, through reflecting the sunlight off the pigmentation, rather than allowing it to be absorbed through the shell

For each of the following minerals, say what properties of the material make it important in carrying out it's particular function.
a. tar roads
b. iron bulgar bars
c. plastic furniture
d. metal jewellery
e. clay for building
f. cotton clothing

Answers

Answer:

1. Tar Roads: The qualities of Tar that makes it ideal for road construction are:

The tar-like material that is used for road construction is a combination  (emulsion) of water and liquid asphalt. It serves the purpose of permeating and closing up small lacerations in the existing pavement.

When the emulsion sticks to the "gravel" it reduces the potential for vehicles to skid on the road thus enhancing safety. The "gravel-like" emulsion is applied by rolling and sweeping.

Qualities of Tar are:

Adhesive: its the ability to stick to surfaces including materials such as gravel which it holds together makes it great for road construction;Waterproof: It is not water-soluble. Hence is not easily susceptible to the effects of running water. Resistant to High Temperature: The melting point of Tar is 54 degrees centigrade. The ground can heat up to 45 degrees celsius thus making Tar perfect for road construction as it can remain rigid even in the worst temperatures.

2. Iron Burglar Bars

Steel bars are made from iron. The qualities of steel which make it perfect for securing places and things are:

Strength; This is the ability to withstand breakage and or destruction.  Toughness: Steel is very tough and can not easily bend or break under static loads. Weldability: Most steel bars are actually welded together. Without this ability, steel probably would be useless as a material that can be used for protectionDurability: The only factor that degrades steel is rust. Rust happens when steel is exposed to oxygen which can be found in air and water.

3.) Plastic Furniture

The primary qualities of plastic that make them suitable for furniture are:

Chemical stability: It does not rust or degrade when exposed to weather elements such as oxygen, water, etc. Good impact resistance: Depending on its thickness, plastic can bear a lot of weight and can take a lot of impact without deforming or breaking Good transparency and wear resistance: Plastic can be made transparent. This quality is essential for aesthetic purposes and hence can be used for various kinds of good-looking furniture. As furniture, its surface does not come off like hence it's durability.Low thermal conductivity: This means that it can bear heat without transmitting it easily.  Ability to General formability, good coloring, low processing cost.

4) Metal Jewellery

One of the best metals for jewelery is Tungsten. This is so because it is more durable and stronger than any other kind of material that can be used for jewelery purposes. It is about ten times harder than 18K gold and about four times harder than titanium. Other materials that can be used are:

titaniumstainless steel and cobalt

5) Clay

In it's raw form, clay used for building might not be the best idea as it susceptible to water absorption and hence deformation which generally leads to a collapse of the structure. However, it becomes an excellent material of choice after it has been hardened into brick.

Brick is preferred in construction due to the following qualities:

hardnessHigh Compressive strength, Low Water AbsorptionFrost resistanceFireproofGreat Insulation

6) Cotton is usually preferred as the material of choice for most kinds of clothing due to the following qualities:

Softness. The cotton plant is soft and fluffy and results in a fabric often retains that soft feel. Durability: Its molecular structure makes it able to last very long. Absorbency: it is able to absorb moisture/water. Hence making it more comfortable than synthetic materials   High Dye Tolerance: Ability to hold dye well is an indespensable quality of a good fabric. You don't want to have a fabric whose colours are quick to fade. Breathability: This reduces is very important especially during summer or when the weather or environment is very hot.

Cheers

The tar is roads that have quantities to make them deal with the construction. The liquid is a mix of asphalt and can be adhesive and waterproof.

The iron bars are used for securing the place and things. plastic furniture is used to make suitable furniture and is used for chemical stability etc. The metal jeweler is of titanium, cobalt and stainless steel
