The most biologically devastating oil spills in the marine environment are usually a result of the sinking of oil tankers.

An oil spill is a type of pollution that occurs when a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon is released into the environment, particularly the marine ecology.

Oil releases into the sea or coastal waterways are generally referred to as marine oil spills, however land-based spills are also possible.

Oil spills can result from crude oil discharges from tankers, sinking of oil tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs, and wells as well as refined petroleum products (like gasoline and diesel) and their byproducts, heavier fuels used by big ships like bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily waste or garbage.

Which person would need more body fat than the others? a. A pregnant woman b. A high school basketball player c. A professional
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is: A) a pregnant woman.

Explanation:

Bodybuilders in particular need the lower body fat percentage possible in order to succeed in their career, since most of their bodies must be muscle. Professional ballet dancers need to be light and skinny to be able to perform their dance moves and to be lifted by their partners; a basketball player also needs a lower fat percentage and a higher muscle mass percentage to be able to play at his best; and a ranch hand as well needs to not be packing that much fat in order to make his job easier.

Pregnant women, however, need body fat to have healthy pregnancies. This doesn't mean that they do not need to take care of themselves, because a higher body fat than what it's needed can lead to diabetes, high blood pressure and can difficult the pregnancy.

Which choice best describes the parts of the water cycle? The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The w
Travka [436]

Answer:

The sun's thermal energy causes water on the earth to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses and forms precipitation. The precipitation then falls back to the surface of the earth.

Explanation:

<u>The water cycle is an illustration of how water continuously moves or circulates between the atmosphere and the various parts of the earth. </u>

<em>Evaporation of water from the surface of the earth by the thermal energy from the sun causes water to leave the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. When the atmospheric water vapor (humidity) at the upper strata of the atmosphere becomes high, the vapor condenses to form clouds which later forms precipitation that falls back to the surface of the earth.</em>

The ocean's tidal energy does not cause water to cycle on earth.

Which of the following is NOT part of the peripheral nervous system?
Ksju [112]

The correct answer is: B. spinal cord  

The nervous system can be divided into two subdivisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The spinal cord and the brain are part of the CNS, whereas the PNS consists of the nerves that radiate from the CNS to all parts of the body. The PNS includes all neurons that sense and transmit information to the CNS.

The CNS controls thinking processes, movements, and registers the sensations throughout our body. Moreover, the PNS acts to transmit information from the CNS to all parts of the body.

The PNS is in turn divided into two main parts:

1-The Autonomic nervous system (ANS), which regulates involuntary functions and glands. The parasympathetic nervous system is one division of the ANS that controls visceral organs such as glands.

2- Somatic nervous system (SNS), which regulates voluntary muscle movement and transmits information from eyes, ears, and skin to the CNS.
