The earth began as a cloud of dust and hot, shining gas. When our planet began to cool, its surface solidified, surrounded by clouds of water vapour. When this vapour condensed (changed into liquid) and began to fall like rain, seas, and oceans formed in the hollows of the Earth’s surface. Oceans are huge expanses of water which separate the Earth’s continents. The largest ocean is the Pacific Ocean, second, the Atlantic and third largest, the Indian Ocean. Seas are smaller expanses of water, almost always flowing either into oceans or other sea. The waters of the seas and the oceans are always salty, because they are rich in mineral salts and especially sodium chloride, which is the salt used in cooking.

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

b . chemical weathering

Explanation:

Chemical weathering is not affected the flow of groundwater through an aquifer but affect by the porosity and permeability. The rate of groundwater flow is controlled by two properties of the rock which are porosity and permeability. Porosity is the percentage of void space in a rock while on the other hand, Permeability is the quality of being permeable means able to be penetrated or passed through by a liquid or gas.

In the human brain, a great deal of synaptic pruning occurs in early childhood. This pruning appears to be:_______.

Alex

Answer: D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Explanation:

Synaptic pruning is a natural process between early childhood and adulthood which occurs in the brain. The brain removes the extra synapses during synaptic pruning. Synapses are brain structures that allow the neurons to transmit to another neuron an electrical or chemical signal.

Synaptic pruning is thought to help the brain transition from adolescence, when it can quickly learn and make new connections, to adulthood, when it is much more stable in its structure, but can concentrate on a single question for longer and conduct more complex thinking processes. Synaptic pruning make brain more adaptive to the external environment in early ages.

Hence, the correct option is D. An adaptive process that allows children to deal more efficiently with their environment.

Glycolysis is classified as an anaerobic process. What does it indicate

zloy xaker [14]

It indicates that glycolysis doesn't involve oxygen in its process unlike aerobic process.

Glycosis helps to process glucose to pyruvate in many cellular respiration procedure.

Cellular respiration is also considered a part of the metabolism process. This process actually helps in carrying the oxygen through the blood.
Two types: Anaerobic and aerobic respiration
Anaerobic respiration doesn't use oxygen during its respiration process while the aerobic respiration uses oxygen.
