The CORRECT answer is:

The theory of plate tectonics explains how continental movements could occur

I know this for a fact because I am an online student, this was a question on my quiz,  I used the other member's answer and I got it wrong. However, after submitting my quiz, it gave me the correct answer which is what I said above.

You are welcome.

Answer: A. the theory of plate tectonics explains how Continental movement could occur.

Plate tectonics is the scientific theory proposed by scientist Alfred Wegener in 1960. This theory substantiate the fact that the a large landmass got splitted and drifted into continents which were drifted to different locations from the site they were originated. The theory provides the reason for continental drift. It explains the fact that plates (continents) above the earth surface gets split into different subplates (small continents) because of natural effects like volcanoes, mountain formation, earthquakes.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:1) medulla to the diaphragm, increasing the rate of breathing

Explanation:

Basically involuntary respiration is controlled by the Respiration centers in the brain Stem. They  are group of respiratory neurons ;  the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups located in the medulla oblongata , and the pontine respiratory group located in the Pons varolii.

The  primary function of this center is for creation and maintenance  of  respiration rhythms and  adjustment of the sequences  to fluctuation  in body homeostatic balance .

In order to regulate respiration rate and its depth, it collects its input signals from chemoreceptors ( cells that generate biological signals from chemical substances), mechanoreceptors( receptors which relay external physical stimuli of touch,  and pressure  to internal stimulus  by regulation of gated ion channels), the hypothalamus and the cerebral cortex. The fluctuation in the levels of plasma C02, oxygen, and blood pH, stimulated the input progression.

Therefore an elevated C02 blood levels, marked by low pH send input signals to the respiratory  centers in the medulla.The latter sends signals to the respiratory muscles (and the diaphragm,)  to initiate mechanism of rapid  breathing to exhaled more C02 so that the acidity of the blood is reduced..
