During the Carboniferous period, which occurred approximately 360 to 300 million years ago, most of Earth was covered in dense r

ainforests. These rainforests were sustained by a humid and tropical climate that lasted for most of the Carboniferous period. At the end of the period, Earth's climate became much colder and drier, leading to a wide-scale collapse of the rainforests and a significant loss of vegetation.
How might the collapse of the Carboniferous rainforests have affected Earth's carbon cycle?

A.
The loss of vegetation would have decreased the total amount of carbon in Earth's carbon cycle.
B.
The total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle would have increased as the vegetation decayed.
C.
Over time, the decaying vegetation would have absorbed a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
D.
Over millions of years, the decaying vegetation would have been buried and its carbon turned into fossil fue

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Empty calories may be grasshoppers' downfall.

Explanation:

Andrei [34K]

5.0 x 10² KJ

From the question given above,

A snickers® candy bar contains 280 calories. Fat content = 120 calories

1 calorie = 4.184 j

120 calories = 120 x 4,184 = 502.08j = 5.0 x 10² KJ

The energy of the fat content is 5.0 x 10² KJ.

gladu [14]
Probably C. Neutral pH doesn't affect anything, and water is polar so D isn't correct. I don't know what liquid form is, and water does form intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which creates surface tension and makes water form globules. That's how water striders can walk on water because they use the bonds and surface pressure to support them
