Answer:

d. Melting ice and expansion of heated water.

Explanation:

As the planet gets warmer, sea level rises.

The two major causes are melting of ice and expansion of seawater.

It is estimated that rising sea levels are caused

  • One-third by melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica
  • One-third by melting of ice in mountains
  • One-third by thermal expansion of the warmer water

a. is wrong. Increased precipitation comes largely from the oceans by the water cycle.

b. is wrong. Melting ice is responsible for only two-thirds of sea-level rise.

c. is wrong. Increased carbon dioxide levels increase the acidity of the water but have little effect on the volume.

The main problem that your central nervous system will try to solve is how to get out of this place.

<h3>B. What is the somatic nervous system probably doing?</h3>

It is releasing stimuli so that the pupil dilates and the blood goes to the muscles, to give greater physical vigor.

<h3>ç. Which part of the autonomic nervous system is likely to be active and what is it doing?</h3>

The autonomic nervous system is a part of the nervous system that functions independently of will and consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system (brain and/or spinal cord) to the glands, smooth muscle and heart muscle.

<h3>What are the physiological responses of adrenaline binding in the sympathetic autonomic system?</h3>

Adrenaline increases the overall activity of the heart, increasing both the heart rate and the force of contraction. The heart has β1 receptors in both contractile and specialized myocardium. When turning on, a series of cardiac effects can happen.

With this information, we can conclude that the main problem that your central nervous system will try to solve is how to get out of this place.
