It does this by blocking the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) which is a protein in the kidney that is responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the body. Lowering high blood glucose can help prevent nerve problems, blindness, and kidney damage in people with diabetes.
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
Tsunamis occur after an earthquake. The earthquake can occur under a city (ex. The New Madrid Missouri fault line; or the Los Angeles area's fault lines), but many occur on the ocean or sea floor.n average, two tsunamis occur per year. Approximately every 15  years a destructive, ocean-wide tsunami occurs. Tsunami's occur  when an earthquake causes a significant ver â¦ tical deformation of the  seafloor.
