An environmental change is occurring due to continents shifting and moving to different parts of Earth’s surface. What kind of c
hange is this? A. a short-term change due to tectonic plate movement
B. a long-term change due to tectonic plate movement
C. a short-term change due to increasing levels of solar energy
D. a long-term change due to increasing levels of solar energy
This Is A Science Question And I Will Give Brainliest To The 100 % Correct Answer So Please Answer ASAP :)
The environmental change that is caused by the increasing levels of solar energy will cause the melting of the ice at the poles and hence increase the sea level, whereas, the movement of tectonic plates under the surface of Earth causes the drifting of the continents. We have surely come across the formation of new islands, mountains and vanishing of existing land masses due to the movement of tectonic plates in the past.
Hence the continent drifting is caused by the movement of tectonic plates. This is definitely a long-term change since the time period taken for such geological changes is large.
The answer is facilitated diffusion. It requires no energy because the ions are traveling down the concentration gradient. Facilitated diffusion is important for the regulation of ions in a cell. It also enables ions to pass across the hydrophobic layer of the cell membrane composed of phospholipids.
