The earthquakes experienced in California are related to tectonic plates because these catastrophic events are the result of - a
two tectonic plates sliding past each other.
b
tectonic plates melting as they slide into the mantle.
c
tectonic plates being weathered over time.
d
two tectonic plates pulling away from each other.

A when two tectonic plates slide past each other.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
