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.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

Cohesive forces are responsible for surface tension, a phenomenon that results in the tendency of a liquid’s surface to resist rupture when placed under tension or stress. Water molecules at the surface (at the water-air interface) will form

Adhesion and cohesion are water properties that affect every water molecule on Earth and also the interaction of water molecules with molecules of other substances.

Given the parents AABBCc × AabbCc, assume simple dominance for each trait and independent assortment. What proportion of the pro
galina1969 [7]
The answer is C) 3/4

Let's analyze separately each of the traits:

Parental generation: AA x Aa
F1 generation:       AA AA Aa Aa
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.

</span>Parental generation: BB x bb
F1 generation:       Bb Bb Bb Bb
So, all progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.
</span>
Parental generation: Cc x Cc
<span>F1 generation:       CC Cc Cc cc
</span>Only 3 (CC, Cc, Cc) out of 4 progeny will <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent.

The genotypes for first two traits will not affect </span>phenotypical resemblance to the first parent. So, it only counts the third trait, for which the chance to have progeny that <span>phenotypically resemble the first parent is 3/4.</span>
