In prehistoric times volcanic eruptions caused mass extinctions of many species of marine organisms attached to the ocean floor.

What is the MOST LIKELY reason for this?
Biology

Volcanic eruptions spew alot of carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases when mixed with rain and run into oceans increase their pH. Additionally, these gases are greenhouse gases that increases atmospheric temperatures and consequently those of the seas and oceans.
Low pH and high temperatures kill marine life.

Protein Function may be terminated, disrupted, destruction of both the secondary and tertiary structure through the process called DENATURATION. Denaturation process does not break the primary structures since the link or sequence of peptide bond are greatly hold by Hydrogen bonding.

In which location would the rate of soil erosion most likely be higher than the rate of soil formation?
Over [174]

The question is <u>incomplete,</u> options are given below:

A. A tropical area with moderate rainfall

B. A temperate forest

C. A steep slope

D. A river delta

Answer:

<em>C.</em><em> A steep slope</em>

Explanation:

Erosion is a <u>weathering process</u> that causes removal of the top layer of sediments from any geological material (rock, plain area, etc) and then transports that material to another place. This process is governed by the combined action of wind, water (precipitation), gravity, and other meteorological parameters.

For this question, four options are given among which rate of erosion would be faster than the rate of soil formation for a steep slope. For a steep slope, the movement of water and wind would be stronger along with high gravitational pull as compared to the tropical area, river delta, and temperate forest. In principle, in the temperate forest, the erosion would be lowest due to the presence of plant roots that support the soil material to stay aggregated and resist against weathering.

Consider the diagram of an internal feedback mechanism that the body uses to help maintain homeostasis.
enyata [817]

In homeostasis the body has a target set point which it tries to maintain, with the use of the negative feedback loop the body strives to stabilize the internal environment by regulating the temperature of the body.

Please help 5 mins!!!!!!​
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Force of gravity!

Explanation:

The reason I say this is because a "dependant varible" is a variable that is being measured in a science experiment. Even though potential energy could be the answer it isn't because in this experiment the kinetic and potential energy are being measured. Depending on the height of the ball on the ramp the force of gravity will depict whether it goes faster and longer.

Hope This Helps :)
