The possible answers are:


A) the oysters evolved into clams and echinoderms


B) the oysters went extinct while these rocks were being deposited


C) the environment changed as sea level rose, displacing the oysters environment with marine conditions represented by the clams and echinoderms


D) There is not sufficient information to reach any conclusion from these observations.


The correct answer is C


Brackish waters are salt waters with less salinity than seawater due to their proximity to the coast and the confluences rivers that are bringing fresh water and lowering the salinity of the salt water in these areas.

If a geologist studies layers of stratified rocks an notices a change of the fossil type from oysters that live in brackish waters to clams and echinoderms that are marine organisms he can conclude that there was a rise in sea level.

After the rise of sea level at the place where there used to be a coastal brackish zone with oysters there was deep salty ocean water.

When a geologist working in stratified rocks observes a limestone bed with oyster fossils overlain by beds with clam and echinoderm fossils indicative of marine conditions, the fossils probably indicate ----- that the environment had changed as the sea level rose and it displaced the oysters environment with marine conditions represented by the clams and echinoderms.

According to research on behavioral decision theory, adolescents often decide to engage in behavior that seems risky to adults b
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

A)cannot consider as many consequences for their actions as do adults.

B)have thinking processes that are still predominantly preoperational.

C)place a different value on the possible consequences than do adults.

D)wish to assert their independence from adults in every possible way.

The CORRECT ANSWER IS C)

C)place a different value on the possible consequences than do adults.

Explanation:

Diverse research have shown that adolescents place a different value on the possible consequences of risk in specific areas than adults do but that they perceive the risks as it doesn't deny adolescents from undertaking these risk-taking behavior.

Neuroimaging research reveals that adolescents may have a higher emotional satisfaction with risk-taking behavior. This satisfaction can expose adolescents to pertake in behavior not minding the risks attached.

In the adult brain, we can pinpoint that the limbic section of the brain (emotion center) and the prefrontal cortex (judgment and reasoning center) are well established when perceiving images that shows risks unlike in the adolescent brain, after perceiving the same risks, the limbic area is well established, with little or no activity in the prefrontal cortex. Such kind of emotional-cognitive asynchrony could cause an adolescents to misjudged other’s feelings and emotions, whereas emotional-physical asynchrony could lead to adolescents being considered as older than their emotional level of development.

The rate of heat production is increased by increasing muscle contraction by movement is: Shivering thermogenesis Non- Shivering
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Shivering thermogenesis.

Explanation:

The rate of heat production is increased by increasing muscle contraction by movement is shivering thermogenesis because nerve impulses are transmitted to the skeletal muscles by the hypothalamus which will result to contractions that will produce heat.

Shivering thermogenesis is Contraction-mediated heat production High intensity shivering activates large muscles and produce more glycolysis which is then use as the main source for heat production
