How is the energy of an earthquake stored before the earthquake?

elastically strained rocks would be the answer.

First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy cannot be created or destroyed. The energy we see in the form of earth movement releases potential energy stored in the rocks that have been subjected to stress of subsurface movement without an actual break in the rock. Once it snaps, that is called strain, and the waves of motion are kinetic energy.

hope this helps:)sorry if it doesnt

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.
