The force that drives earthquake activity is

The force is plate tectonics.

The lithosphere, which is the inflexible peripheral shell of a planet, is broken into structural plates. The Earth's lithosphere is made out of seven or eight significant plates (contingent upon how they are characterized) and numerous minor plates. Where the plates meet, their relative movement decides the sort of limit: focalized, unique, or change.

Seismic tremors, volcanic action, mountain-building, and maritime channel development happen along these plate limits. The general development of the plates normally runs from zero to 100 mm yearly.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
