When energy builds up in a fault line, eventually it will overcome the friction that prevents the plates from moving, and the plates will move, producing an earthquake.

Why is it wrong to say that fossil fuels are stores of light energy?

It's wrong to say this because it is inaccurate. Fossil fuels are stores of potential energy which can be converted (through combustion) into heat energy. Light energy is the energy that gives off light, but fossil fuels do not give off light.


Nucleotide subunit made from ribose sugar adenine and phosphates that stores and transports energy?

ATP which is the energy molecule used by all cells


Examples of elastic energy?

Elastic energy is the potential energy stored in elastic materials when they are stretched or compressed. Here are a few examples:Stretching a Rubber Band: When you stretch a rubber band, it stores elastic energy. This energy is released when you let go, causing the rubber band to snap back to its original shape.Bouncing a Basketball: When you drop a basketball on the ground, it compresses slightly and stores elastic energy. The ball then rebounds as the stored energy is released.Pulling a Bowstring: In archery, when you pull back a bowstring, you're stretching it and storing elastic energy. This energy is released when you release the arrow, propelling it forward.Compression Springs: Springs in machines and vehicles, like car suspensions, store elastic energy when compressed. This energy can then be used for shock absorption or to provide a return force.Stretching a Slinky: When you stretch a Slinky toy, it stores elastic energy. When you release it, the Slinky contracts and bounces back and forth, releasing the stored energy.In each of these examples, elastic energy is stored in the material as it deforms (stretches or compresses) and is later released when the material returns to its original shape.
