Answer:

The hill models gravity as a driving force in the water cycle.

Explanation:

Gravity (the gravitational force that pulls objects towards the centre of the Earth) drives the water cycle.

Gravity is responsible for precipitation (rain, hail, sleet, and snow) falling downwards towards the Earth's surface. It is also responsible for water at higher points on the Earth's surface flowing downwards to the lower points on the Earth's surface.

In Carlos' model, the hill represents a higher point on the Earth's surface while the valley represents a lower point on the Earth's surface. The river, flowing downwards from Carlos' hill to Carlos' valley, demonstrates the role of gravity as the driving force of the water cycle.

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is A) Histone deacetylation generally decreases gene expression.

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins that are responsible for the condensation of chromatin, which is directly linked to the capacity that a gene has to be expressed. The more condensed a gene is, the less expressible it becomes.

In order to regulate the gene expression, histones can suffer from many modifications that can change their conformation and the expressiveness of specific genes.

<u>Histone acetylation is linked with an increase of gene expression; while deacetylation and methylation decrease gene expression.</u>

How are currents in the Pacific Ocean affected by El Niño?
mylen [45]

The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west


Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.
