Crumple zones are one of the greatest innovations made with cars to protect the passengers in the event of an auto accident. Crumple zones cause impulse‚ or the change in momentum when an object acts on by a force for a certain amount of time. Though first‚ we need to know why crumple zones were made.

The concentric zone theory demonstrated by Ernest Burgess is a theory that might be a little dated. It used to be that cities would form around one central nucleus in order to make sure that all important things were done in that specific area and people would come to this center area to administer and watch whatever may be going on in the town circle‚ as you get further out to reach the factory area in the CZT. Today‚ cities don’t really follow that pattern as you would not want a cluster of factories

Induced fit theory is a variation of the lock-and-key theory of enzymatic function. It is proposed that the substrate causes a conformational change in the enzyme such that the active site achieves the exact configuration required for a reaction to occur. The overall effect would be a tighter binding for the substrate and enzyme. Think of it as a lock and key model. There are specific substrates that combine to a specific enzyme. The theory basically states that both enzyme and active site change
