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.
Energy can be considered in two categories - primary and secondary. 1  Primary energy is energy in the form of natural resources, such as wood, coal, oil, natural gas, natural uranium, wind, hydro power, and sunlight. 2  Secondary energy is the more useable forms to which primary energy may be converted, such as electricity and petrol.
