What’s the smallest muscle in the human body?
The stapedius, in your middle ear, measures about 1mm in size (or
1/26 of an inch). Connected to the stapes bone, it contracts to pull
back the stapes and help protect your inner ear from loud noises. The
stapedius also contracts to keep your own voice from sounding too loud
in your head.
What’s the smallest bone in the human body?
Conveniently, that would be the stapes. It is one of three tiny bones
in the middle ear that convey sound from the outer ear to the inner
ear. Collectively called the ossicles, these bones are individually
known as the malleus, incus, and stapes. Those are Latin words for the
shapes the bones resemble: a hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What’s the smallest organ in the human body?
You’ll find the pineal gland near the center of the brain, in a
groove between the hemispheres. It’s not an organ like those in the
abdominal cavity. It’s the human body’s smallest endocrine gland, and it
produces melatonin, a hormone (derived from serotonin) that affects how
we sleep, wake up, and react to seasonal changes. It’s called pineal
because it’s shaped like a little pinecone.
What’s the smallest blood vessel in the human body?
<span>Capillaries, the smallest, thinnest-walled blood vessels in the body,
connect veins and arteries. They can be as small as 5-10 micrometers
wide — or 50 times thinner than a baby’s hair. Each of us contains about
10 billion of them, with the average adult body containing about 25,000
miles of capillaries.</span>
We see that this is a region near the continents, so it is probable that there is the boundary of a tectonic plates around there. Since there are islands there, it is quite probable that there is a subduction zone near them which means that the oceanic crust is going below the continental one and the continental is slowly elevated. This also shows that the boundary is convergent, since transform boundaries do not lead to elevation. Near convergent boundaries, there are frequently volcanoes and shallow earthquakes. Finally, the climate near Alaska is cold and this does not depend on whether islands are near a boundary or not. So, 2 4 and 5 are correct.
Answer:
To convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store the chemical energy for future use.

Answer:
The answer to your question is:
Explanation:
When carbon attached to oxygen, they form covalent bonds, in these kind of bonds, atoms share electrons to acquire stability.
Atoms acquire stability when they have 8 electrons in their outermost shell.
When carbon share electrons with oxygen they acquire 8 electrons and they are stable.
See the picture below
Red is carbon and blue oxygen
Answer: Not likely
Explanation:
Hurricanes can be devastating if they make landfall in an area and even if they do not, can cause excessive rainfall that can lead to flooding in other areas. One of such areas is Maryland.
Even though Maryland has seen its fair share of effects from hurricanes, tropical storms and tropical depressions, there has not been a single storm making landfall at hurricane intensity in Maryland since the mid twentieth century. Hurricane Agnes for instance, caused the deaths of 19 people due to the floods it caused.
