The medulla has the ascending and the descending tract which function to link the brain with the spinal cord.

<h3>What is the role of medulla?</h3>
  • Medulla oblongata is the lowermost part of the brain.
  • It is located at the place where the brain and the spinal cord connect thus it carries nerve signals between the brain to spinal cord thus help the entire body to communicate.
  • It controls biological processes like blood pressure, breathing and heartbeat.
  • Ascending tract functions to carry sensory information from the body (e.g.: pain) from the spinal cord to the brain (upwards).
  • Descending tract carry motor information (e.g.: instructions to move the arm) from the brain down the spinal cord to the body (downward).
  • Damage to medulla can lead to respiratory failure, paralysis, or loss of sensation.

Which statements about the cycle of weathering, erosion, and deposition are true? Check all that apply.
kompoz [17]

The correct statements are-

Erosion occurs even when the mountains are forming. Erosion is the movement of sediments from the broken rocks through the agents like gravity, wind, water and others. It is a constant process occurring even while the mountains are forming. It is affected by gravity.

When new mountains or plateaus form, the cycle starts over. Weathering is the breakdown of rocks by the weathering agents. These sediments move due to the process of erosion. A new sediment may be dropped nearby or in a new place by the process of deposition. Weathering, erosion and deposition occur together as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

Weathering, erosion and deposition have almost leveled earth’s surface. These three processes occur as a cycle and have almost leveled the land surface.

Atmosphere and geosphere is the part of the earth which is utilized in the nitrogen cycle.

Explanation:

In nitrogen cycle, the nitrogen which is present in the atmosphere comes down to the earth surface through rainfall. This nitrogen is absorbed by the earth and taken by roots of plants. Some amount of nitrogen is taken by many bacteria such as denitrifying bacteria which converts the soil nitrogen into atmospheric nitrogen and the nitrogen goes again to the atmosphere.
