______ are geologic considerations when identifying physically safe places for human habitation.

1 answer:

3 0

The strength of the underlying geology, steepness of hillsides and faults in the Earth's crust which can potentially cause earthquakes are the geologic considerations during the identification of physically safe places for human habitation.

Geology basically deals with the study of the Earth and it finds a vital application in understanding the physical features of an area before it is inhabited by humans.

Human habitation on steep hillsides can be risky due to potential landslides and soil erosion which may occur due to rainfall or by rivers. It is also important to judge the strength of the underlying geology to ensure stability to the structures and buildings made to support habitation. The faults in the Earth's crust and the movement of the tectonic plates are responsible for causing Earthquakes. Seismic activity can lead to swaying of the structures and result in their instability which happens to risk human lives.

What is the ultimate source of energy of almost any terrestrial (land) food chain or food web? What process converts this energy

andriy [413]

Hey there!

Here are your answers:

1. The proper answer to this question is "the Sun".

Reason:

The Sun is the ultimate source of energy for organisms it allows plants to use photosynthesis to convert light energy into energy for that organisms and other organisms.

Therefore the answer is the Sun.

Here is your second answer:

2. The proper answer to this question is "photosynthesis".

Reason:

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to change (convert) light energy into energy (that other organisms can use). For example a apple tree uses photosynthesis to make apples for humans, and other organisms to consume for energy.

Therefore the answer is photosynthesis!

To sum up the answers are:
1.Sun
2.Photosynthesis

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

Which best describes independent assortment?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up randomly along the middle of the cell.

Explanation:

In diploid (2n) organisms, the homologous chromosomes are the two copies of each chromosome, where one of these homologs is the chromosome from the mother, while the second one is from the father. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes pair together at the middle of the cell. The law of independent assortment, also known as or Mendel's Second Law, states that homologous chromosomes line up in random orientations at the metaphase plate during this period (metaphase I).

What is mostly likely elevation of the mountain below

solniwko [45]

From the contour line that is a combination of two line segments that connect but do not intersect, 500 and 750 represent elevation on the topographic map. There are 5 contour lines in between the given elevations 500 and 750, therefore, the contour interval is 50. Since the peak of the mountain is 2 contour lines from 750, the elevation of the mountain is 850. Hence, the answer is 871 meters.
