These boundaries between plates is referred to as transform boundaries. As two plates slide past one another, in a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary, nor destroyed. The result of two massive plates pushing against one another is that massive amounts of energy build up.
Daily energy expenditure is composed of three major components: 1) resting metabolic rate (RMR); 2) the thermic effect of feeding (TEF); and 3) the thermic effect of activity (TEA).RMR constitutes 60 to 75% of daily energy expenditure and is the energy associated with the maintenance of major body functions.MR accounts for the largest portion of daily energy expenditure no matter whether youâre sedentary or very active â 80 to 56% respectively (Landsberg, et al., 2009). Energy expenditure from exercise/activity is thus small relative to the energy expenditure at rest.
In general, there is more âenergy inâ. When it comes to âenergy out,â the bodyâs energy needs include the amount of energy required for maintenance at rest, physical activity and movement, and for food digestion, absorption, and transport.e convert potential energy thatâs stored within our food (measured in Calories or kcals) into three major âdestinationsâ: work, heat and storage. As the image below shows, the average number of available calories per person in the US is increasing.
