Answer:

Uranus

Explanation:

A new study finds that the same impact that knocked Uranus sideways may have also created the planet's moons. ... However, Uranus is an oddball in that its axis of spin is tilted by a whopping 98 degrees (relative to the plane of the solar system), meaning it essentially spins on its side.

Answer:

Uranus

Explanation:

Uranus has a unique tilt which makes it appear to be tilted on its side. This means that one of Uranus' poles is often pointed towards the Sun, giving Uranus very long seasons.

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir

netineya [11]

The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.

Anastasy [175]

The options are:

A) Right Frontal Lobe

B) Right Temporal Lobe

C) Left Frontal Lobe

D) Left Parietal Lobe

E) Hypothalamus

Answer:

The correct answer is D) Left Parietal Lobe

Explanation:

Parental lobe plays an important role in combining and interpreting sensory information coming from various body parts. It process information which allows individuals to know about the position of his body parts.

The damage in the left parietal lobe will affect the right side of the body and cause numbness and impaired sensation in the right side of the body. So the individual who has damaged left parietal lobe will not able to sense any stimulus in his right hand but can still move his fingers. So the right answer is D.

Neville has low blood pressure and his pituitary started producing a homorone to maintain water balance his blood pressure event

Answer: The options are missing in the question,the options are;

A) Positive feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

B) Positive feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

C) Negative feedback will speed up the release of this hormone.

D) Negative feedback will stop the release of this hormone.

The correct answer to the question is option D

NEGATIVE FEEDBACK WILL STOP THE RELEASE OF THIS HORMONE.

Explanation: The hormone the will be produced is known as Antidiuretic hormone (ADH).it is otherwise known as VASOPRESSIN.It is secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The main effect of Antidiuretic hormone is to reduce urine output,(diuresis is the production of large amount of urine). Antidiuretic hormone acts in the distal convulated tubules and the collecting ducts of the nephrons of the kidneys,it increases their permeability to water and more of the glomerular filtrate is reabsorbed. Antidiuretic hormone secretion is determined by the osmotic pressure of the blood circulating to the osmoreceptors in the hypothalamus.

As osmotic pressure rises,for example as a result of dehydration, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone increases. With this,there is Increased reabsorption of water reducing the amount of urine produced.This implies that more water is retained in the body making the rise in the osmotic pressure of the blood to be low,for example,after a large fluid intake, secretion of Antidiuretic hormone is reduced,less water is reabsorbed and more urine is produced.

At high concentrations,for example after severe blood loss, antidiuretic hormone causes smooth muscle contraction, especially vasoconstriction in small arteries.this has a pressor effect,raising systemic blood pressure.
