1. Mountain ranges form along <u>convergent </u>plate boundaries via orogenic processes.

<h3>What is tectonic plates?</h3>

The formation of mountains is caused by tectonic plates. A mountain is formed when two tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, resulting in altitudes that can take years to reach but that eventually create massive mountains through what are known as convergent plate borders.

2. Rift valleys formed through the stretching of divergent plates occurs through a divergent boundary process.

When tectonic plates separate, they can leave low ground areas like the Rift Valley, which are produced by diverging continental plate borders. They can be found on the surface of the Earth or at the bottom of the ocean, and they are formed by the expansion of the seabed.

3. The formation of mountain ranges occurs as a result of <u>orogeny</u>.

This process occurs when one continental plate dips and the other rises, allowing mountain ranges to form. Orogeny is the name given to this process.

4. Scientists observe an extremely long <u>deformation </u>area in a continental plate during an orogenic process..

Scientists use tectonic plate simulations to study this deformation in order to better predict natural disasters such as earthquakes.

5. <u>Epeirogenic </u>process causes vertical plate motion along tectonic plates.

The vertical movement of a continent that generates soft arcs or rises parts uniformly is known as epeirogeny.

What is the end result of mitosis and cytokinesis? why is this so important?

makvit [3.9K]

The end result of mitosis is a cell that is exactly the same as the original cell. So, if you have Cell A and cell A goes through mitosis and produces cell B... Cell B is an exact clone/replica of cell A with NO VARIATIONS. It's literally like cloning (Asexual reproduction).

Cytokinesis is part of the cell cycle, it is the last stage where a plate forms between both the cells to separate them from each other and to form two individual cells.

Mitosis is important because it is a fast way of producing replicas of cells. Cytokinesis is important to differentiate or create boundaries between the cells.

Significance of plants in the carbon cycle

azamat

Answer:

Plants absorb carbon dioxide,water and sunlight to make their own food,grow and release oxygen through photosynthesis. They're also huge part in keeping our air clean, The carbon becomes part of the plant ; When humans burn fossil fuels, most carbon enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.

Why was the founder species of finches on the Galápagos Islands able to form such a large variation of beak types?

Anit [1.1K]

Through natural selection it happened over many generations and it was gradual, not a sudden change in the founder species. One bird was randomly born with a fatter beak and so could eat a seed that was harder to crack, this meant he lived longer than the other birds or was fitter, so bred more and so more of the offspring had this slightly larger beak. This continued and the birds moved to the islands with their ideal seed and kept getting fatter beaks etc until they were no longer the same species (this is when they can't breed to produce fertile offspring).
