I think Sea otters are an iconic species, representing the beauty and diversity of marine life found along California’s coastline. They’re also considered a keystone species because of their critical importance to the health and stability of the nearshore marine ecosystem. They eat sea urchins and other invertebrates that graze on giant kelp. Without sea otters, these grazing animals can destroy kelp forests and consequently the wide diversity of animals that depend upon kelp habitat for survival. Additionally, kelp forests protect coastlines from storm surge and absorb vast amounts of harmful carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Sea otters are also considered a sentinel species because their health reflects that of California’s coastal waters.

The answer to this question would be: during pregnancy

Body metabolic rate will be increased during pregnancy because the mother needs to supply the child needs too. In reduced-calorie diet, the body will adapt to the hunger by lowering the basal metabolic rate. The basal metabolic rate also will be decreased as we age and when we are sleeping.

Match the rocks with the material they are made of. igneous rocks /sedimentary rocks /metamorphic rocks

Vlad1618 [11]

The answers would be:

Igneous Rocks - They are made from hot magma.

Sedimentary Rocks - They are made from weathered pieces of rock.

Metamorphic Rocks - They are rocks, small or large which reformed due to high temperature.

If you'd like to know more, read on:

Igneous rocks are formed when hot magma is cooled and then it hardens into a rock. The word igneous comes from the word, "ignis" which means "of fire. They can be formed beneath the Earth or on the surface.

Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathered pieces of rock. These pieces are called sediments. They can also be made out of other material. When these sediments settle, it continues to do so until so much sediment accumulate and they start to press down on each other. The sediments then start to go through compaction and sedimentation which for a sedimentary rock.

Metamorphic rocks form under heat and pressure. They are squeezed and shaped and go through metamorphosis or go through change. A metamorphic rock can be formed from any other type of rock as long as it goes through changes due to intense pressure and/or heat.

How does the size of the moon’s core support the impact of the moon’s formation?

kogti [31]

The span of the moons center has nothing to do with the effect hypothesis, however has a remark with materials on the moon itself.
Since this hypothesis itself did not merged with regards to the arrangement for the lunar center however it emerged as a result of the materials that make up the moon itself in light of the fact that the materials that make up the moon contrasted with our own particular planet looks like an enormous similitude.

Or the answer will be:

If the event that effect the hypothesis is r8ght at that point after the impact material from the surface and mantle of the earth was brushed off into space gathering into the moon. There would be next to no material to shape a gigantic center.
