Prior to 1900, sea levels rose at maximum, 4 cm per year. Since 1900 sea levels have risen 11 cm per year.

<h3>How sea level is measured?</h3>
  • Tide stations and satellite laser altimeters are the main tools used to measure sea level.
  • The height of the sea as measured along the shore in relation to a particular place on land is what tide stations all around the world tell us about what is happening locally.
  • NASA uses satellites to measure sea level all over the world.
  • Height of the ocean's surface, often known as sea level, is measured by the Jason-3 satellite using radio waves and other equipment.
  • It studies how the global sea level is changing over time for the entire Earth every 10 days.
  • The average sea level is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi), and it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 mi) at the poles.

Hypersecretion of glucocorticoids, often caused by a tumor, results in ________.
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

Cushing's syndrome

Explanation:

Prolonged hypersecretion of glucocorticoid hormones by the adrenal gland causes a hormonal imbalance where the person begins to accumulate fat and lose bone and muscle mass.

Remember, one of the most important glucocorticoid hormone is cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, it usually helps us respond to conditions that are difficult for our body and where we need to use our strength and mental dexterity, when this hormone is elevate, we can respond to stress situations more easily. It helps us activate all the metabolism, as a result, we need to use more energy.

If cortisol remains elevated all day, despite not making physical and mental strength, our body will think it needs to eat, so people with this syndrome are always hungry, and accumulate fat. Thus leading to the appearance of the symptoms of the syndrome.

1. What is the difference between primary waves (P-waves) and secondary waves (S-waves)?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Primary waves travel faster, move in a push-pull pattern, travel through solids, liquids and gases, and cause less damage due to their smaller size. Secondary waves travel slower, move in an up-and-down pattern, travel only through solids, and cause more damage due to their greater size.

Explain how a starfish's body plan and anatomy enables invertebrate to perform the essential functions it needs to survive.
Vladimir [108]
Invertebrates are known as creatures that do not have backbones. Even though these creatures do not have backbones, they have been uniquely designed in order to survive. According to studies, most of these creatures are found in the sea and one of them is the Star Fish or also called as the Sea Star. Starfish's functions and ability to survive is not the same like other animals which make them unique in a different way. The starfish's body is hard and bony for protection purposes and they exist in a variety of colors for camouflage. Their essential functions in order to survive are as follows:
-The Ability to Regenerate: Starfishes have the ability to grow damaged and lost limbs or even their entire body as long as the center part is still present and intact. And this is their way of reproduction as well.
-Having Tube Feet: Its arms are covered with a suction-like tiny cups of tube feet. This unique design of the starfishes enables them to move and secure themselves, especially on rocks and ocean floors.
-Unique Feeding Ability: Sea Stars don't have mouths nor teeth to ingest food. Rather, these creatures have the ability to push open or turn their stomachs out and digest its food. After digestion, their stomachs retract back to their bodies. 
-Vascular System: How starfishes survive does not rely on having hearts, brains and blood. Rather, they use the seawater. The seawater serves as the one the circulates inside the sea stars' bodies and this is when nutrients and oxygen are being transported and absorbed.
