Answer:
Dead zones are hypoxic (low-oxygen) areas in the world's oceans and large lakes, caused by "excessive nutrient pollution from human activities coupled with other factors that deplete the oxygen required to support most marine life in bottom and near-bottom water. (NOAA)".

Answer:
<h2>c. Division of these two groups occurred after the protostome developmental sequence appeared. </h2>
Explanation:
- Protosomes are such types of organisms in which the mouth part developed first during embryonic development.
- Those animals in which anus develop first are known as deuterostomes.
- This differentiation takes place during the embryonic development of the organisms.
- Since lophotrochozoan and Ecdysozoa both are protostomes animals and categorized on the basis of molecular evidence.
- Thus these two groups were formed after the appearance of the protostomes.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Seems most reasonable to me but I could be wrong
Answer:
Photosynthetic organisms (plants and/or phytoplankton) are at the bottom of the food chain.
Explanation:
C
A Land mass is large geographical area that is surrounded by oceans. Therefore this can be synonymous to continents.
Explanation:
The crust is divided into tectonic plates that are dynamic because they move on top of the semi-plastic mantle. The movement of the tectonic plates is driven by the convection currents of the mantle that drag along the crust above. The tectonic plates collide at convergent boundaries where tectonic plates are consumed as one is subsided into the mantle. On the other hand, new crust is formed at divergent boundaries where two tectonic plates move away from each other and magma rises from the mantle and cools into new crust.
The convection currents occurs because the lower mantle is hotter and less dense compared to the cooler denser upper mantle. Therefore the upper mantle always tends to sink as the lower mantle rises. These convection currents are the same as in any other fluids that are disproportionately heated.
