What drives plate tectonics

Biology
2 answers:
ahrayia [7]4 years ago

"The plate tectonics theory suggests that the outer shell of the earth's surface is split into a few plates that move along the mantle, forming a hard shell, with pressure from mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones causing the shifting in the plates."

Which of these processes as a cooling affect on earth? (APEX)
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The answer is A. Evaporation of water due to warmer temperature causes low thick clouds.

Explanation:

Evaporation is the process in which liquid is changed into gas due to increases temperature or pressure. It is an important part of water recycling in nature. water from sea, rivers and streams evaporate and form clouds which brings water back to earth by raining. Evaporation also causes cooling effect as during evaporation heat is absorbed from the environment. On the other hand the cloud formation and rain also induce cooling by bringing down the temperature.

The theory that Francesco redi sought to disprove by his experiments was the theory of spontaneous generation.

<h3>What is the theory of spontaneous generation?</h3>

The theory of spontaneous generation is the theory that living-things can arise spontaneously from non-living things.

Early scientists believed this theory. The experiments by Francesco Redi sought to disprove this theory.

However, it was only the experiment by Louis Pasteur that finally helped scientists at the time to reject the theory of spontaneous generation.

In conclusion, the experiments by Franceso redi was aimed at disproving the theory of spontaneous generation.

Explain the function of the thyroid gland and the hormones it secretes. Include how the release of hormone is regulated and what
elena55 [62]
The thyroid gland releases triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). These hormones play an important role in regulation of your weight, energy levels, internal temperature, skin, hair, nail growth, and more. Thyroxine (T4) is produced by the thyroid gland under regulation from the hypothalamus and pituitary gland. T3 is a second thyroid hormone that is produced by the thyroid gland but also in other tissues through deiodination of T4. T3 helps maintain muscle control, brain function and development, and heart and digestive functions.

2. What is needed from fermentation to restart glycolysis?​
Shalnov [3]
How cells extract energy from glucose in the absence of oxygen. In yeast, anaerobic reactions produce alcohol, while in your muscles, they form lactic acid.





Both processes can happen thanks to alternative glucose degradation pathways that occur when normal cellular respiration that uses oxygen (aerobic) is not possible, that is, when there is no oxygen available that acts as an acceptor at the end of the transport chain of electrons. These fermentation pathways include glycolysis with a few extra reactions at the end. In yeast, the extra reactions produce alcohol; in the muscles, lactic acid.
Fermentation is a widespread route, but it is not the only way to obtain energy from fuels anaerobically (in the absence of oxygen). Some living systems use a different inorganic molecule instead of
