Answer:

Ralph's radial nerve may be getting compressed

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it seems that Ralph's radial nerve may be getting compressed. This nerve, which is located in the armpit region, if compressed can cause temporary cessation of nervous transmission which is what causes numbness (as Ralph is feeling). If this compression continues for too long it can also cause permanent nerve damage.

1. List 2 interactions between the earth spheres and the water cycle.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The carbon cycle, as the nitrogen cycle, occurs in all the spheres: Biosphere, Atmosphere, Geosphere and Hydrosphere.

Explanation:

Most Earth events involve interaction between multiple spheres. For example, rain is the movement of water (the hydrosphere) from the atmosphere to the lithosphere where it collects in lakes, rivers, or streams. Water is an important resource for inhabitants of the biosphere.

The Atmosphere-contains all the air in Earth's system. The upper portion of the atmosphere protects the organisms of the biosphere from the sun's ultraviolet radiation. It also absorbs and emits heat. This sphere is also where weather occurs.

The nitrogen cycle occurs in all the spheres and ecosystems. It passes through rocks, water, atmosphere, plants, etc.

In atmosphere and biosphere: Nitrogen is about 78% of the gases in the atmosphere an it’s a essential component of the living organisms. It enters plants through the microorganisms that convert this nitrogen into ammonia. After this conversion, the plants absorb this substance. It can pass to animals when they eat these plants. Then, when they urinate, bacteria convert ammonia to nitrogen again and it returns to the atmosphere.
