Which statement correctly describes one way that the properties of water affect heat and temperature? Water retains more heat th

an other materials, making coastal ecosystems warmer year-round. Water absorbs heat when it freezes, helping to insulate lakes and ponds from cold temperatures. Water absorbs heat when it changes to vapor, helping to keep animals cool through perspiration. Water retains less heat than other materials, keeping aquatic ecosystems cooler than those on land.

I believe the correct statement is that Water absorbs heat when it changes to vapor, helping to keep animals cool through perspiration. Water has a high heat of vaporization, the amount of energy needed to change one gram of a liquid substance to gas at constant temperature. In humans and other organisms, the evaporation of sweat, which is 90% water, cools the body to maintain a steady temperature.

Answer: Water retains more heat than other materials, making coastal ecosystems warmer year-round.

Explanation:

The water retains more heat than any other material because it has high specific heat. The specific heat can be define as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of the substance of 1 gram to 1 degree Celsius. The water has high specific heat which indicates that it takes more heat energy to increase the temperature of water as compared to other substance.

It takes several hours to lower down the temperature of the water. The retain heat in water keeps the coastal ecosystem warm year round which favors the survival of the marine animals even in winters.

What are the body’s three defenses? How do they differ from each other.
Artemon [7]

Answer:

- Physical and chemical barriers

- non-specific innate responses

- specific adaptive responses

<u>The differences are...</u>

The first barrier is the physical and chemical barrier. It is the first line of defense when in contact with outside sources, this can be through the skin, earwax, nose-hair, etc.

The second barrier, the non-specific innate response, is after these outside sources have somehow managed to pass through the first barrier. They come into contact with cells and enzymes that help to defeat them.

The third barrier, the specific adaptive response, is the body's way of dealing with pathogens that the body has encountered before. (B cells activate)

Why do scientists need to study seismic waves to analyze the interior of the earth and the layers of the earth?
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Answer 1:

Seismic waves, the waves of energy that travel through the Earth as a result of an earthquake can tell us a lot about the internal structure of the Earth because these waves travel at different speeds in different materials. There are two types of waves that travel through the Earth: p-waves and s-waves.

P- waves are faster and they can travel through both solids and liquids. S-waves are slower and cannot travel through liquids. For both kinds of waves, the speed at which the wave travels also depends on the properties of the material through which it is traveling.

Scientists are able to learn about Earth’s internal structure by measuring the arrival of seismic waves at stations around the world. For example, we know that Earth’s outer core is liquid because s-waves are not able to pass through it; when an earthquake occurs there is a “shadow zone” on the opposite side of the earth where no s-waves arrive. Similarly, we know that the earth has a solid inner core because some p-waves are reflected off the boundary between the inner core and the outer core. By measuring the time it takes for seismic waves to travel along many different paths through the earth, we can figure out the velocity structure of the earth. Abrupt changes in velocity with depth correspond to boundaries between different layers of the Earth composed of different materials.
