Lunar phases are basically the different positions of the moon that we see throughout its whole cycle, from new moon to full moon, back to new moon. Eclipses, though are more rare phenomena. These occur when the sun, moon, and earth line up at a specific position.

Asteroids are usually dense bodies, with many different formations on their surface. They are also believed to be the largest source of precious metals on our planet.

Comets are bright clouds of gas surrounding a center nucleus that speed toward the sun and heat up at the same time. They contain dust, ice, carbon dioxide, and other gases. As the comet soars toward the sun, the radiation pushes dust particles back, forming the tail they are known for.

Describe the different ways that the carbon cycle interacts with earth’s living organisms.(Name at least 2 ways.)

Tamiku [17]

1) Plants and plankton use carbon in the atmosphere for photosynthesis (CO2 + H2O -> C6H12O8 + O2).
2) Animals eat the plankton and plants, or decomposers/detritivores break down decaying plant material. This releases carbon back into the atmosphere via cellular respiration.
3) Dead organisms are buried and become fossil fuels, burned for fuel because of its carbon content (this returns carbon to the atmosphere)

What specific part of the brain processes nerve impulses from touch and pain receptors?

pogonyaev

TOuch and pain are controlled by different regions of the brain, so I gonna treat these terms separately:

PAIN: one thing seems certain: there is no single "pain centre" whose only activity could account for all facets of pain. In other words, no lobotomy of any particular region of the brain completely removes the pain. So there are many regions that are responsible for pain: The reticular formation and the thalamus (specifically the Deep lemniscal territory) which is responsible for both touch and pain sensations

TOUCH: touch sensation are processed by parietal lobe in the brain cortex (which is also responsible for sight and hearing), and the deep lemniscal territory in the thalamus.
