An earthquake is the shaking and trembling that results from the movement of rock beneath earth's surface. earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.

why is this most likely the case?

a. seismic waves transmit through different media at different speeds. subduction zones at plate boundaries are ideal for transmission of these waves.

b. tectonic plates move along, against, or away from each other at their boundaries. these movements produce earthquakes.

c. many plate boundaries are bordered or covered by the ocean. water from the ocean seeps into earthquake fault lines, softening the rock materials so that they can move and cause earthquakes.

d. earthquakes can only happen near volcanic eruptions, and most volcanoes occur on or near plate boundaries.

In some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. the production of sterile male ligers is an example of read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. the production of sterile male ligers is an example of a postzygotic barrier the founder effect sympatric speciation a prezygotic barrier

Why are the majority of the world's economies mixed? what may happen to the "pure" types of economies (traditional, socialist/command, market capitalist) when they incorporate elements from other economic models?
