Missouri, Indiana and other states in the central United States have experienced significant earthquakes, yet none of these states are located near the edge of the North American tectonic plate. What causes earthquakes in areas between tectonic plates?

A) Earthquakes occur because there are no volcanoes to relieve the pressure from heat in Earth's core.

B) There are faults deep under the surface of the earth in these areas caused by motion of the tectonic plates.

C) These earthquakes are all the result of human activities such as oil and gas production, not natural seismic activity.

D) The crust is thinner in the center of a tectonic plate because magma in the lithosphere flows to the edges of tectonic plates.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
