The destructive force of the wave is not felt while they are out at the sea but it is felt when they approach the shore.

Explanation:

When the waves are out in the ocean they are in deeper waters. Once they move towards the shore they approach shallow waters. This movement causes shoaling of the waves by which its amplitude increases.

When the wave reaches the shore its leading edge gets slowed down by coming in contact with the beach floor but its trailing edge which is still in deep water still moves rapidly. The wave thus gets compressed and its wavelength decreases. The amplitude of the wave then increases rapidly making the wave destructive.

Vesna [10]

The correct answer is:

_________________________________________________

→ " commensalism" .

_________________________________________________

Note: "Commensalism" refers to a symbiotic relationship {"symbiosis"} between two (2) organisms — in which one organism benefits and the other organism is neither helped nor harmed.

{ i.e. " +, 0 " ; that is: "plus" sign for "one organism benefits" ;

"zero" sign for "neutral" ;

(in that the other organism is neither helped nor harmed.}.

_________________________________________________

In the example given in the question, the two (2) organisms are:

1) the barnacles; and: 2) the shellfish.

The barnacles benefits by given a place to attach for the purpose of transportation (by using the shellfish to "cling to"}.

The shellfish are neither helped (benefitted in anyways from the attachment from the barnacles— nor are the shellfish harmed in any way.

The vestibular system is the only sensory system to send projection fibers directly to the cerebellum.

Greeley [361]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The above statement is false as, cerebellum receives the projection fibers from the other sensory system in which they are received in the different part of cerebellum. As, the cerebellum received the information from the sensory system and the spinal cords and also in the other part of the brain as it regulates in the movement of the motor.

Explain some of the ocean’s other benefits besides supplying us with water.

mojhsa [17]

The ocean moderates the Earth's climate. Most solar radiation occurs at the Equator, whereas the poles receive little radiation. The ocean transport warm water from the Equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the Equator. The oceans provide a habitat for much of the marine life exploited by humans, such as harvested fish. The oceans act as a massive carbon sink, as phytoplankton absorb carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. The ocean also provides a medium for large scale transportation of goods through shipping. It is unlikely that vehicles as large as container ships could ever be transported over land.
