7 0
Upwelling is a process in which the deep and cold water rises to the water surface and not sea surface. This process plays an important role in maintaining balance in our ecosystem as it boost the marine productivity by washing the nutrients from deeper waters to the photic layer where photosynthesis is promoted.

NOT BIOLOGY ITS PHYSICAL SCIENCE how are the allotropes of carbon similar and how are they different?
Rashid [163]

Allotropes of carbon includes substances such as graphite, diamond or buckminsterfullerene.



They’re all similar in the thing that they’re all made out of carbon only.


However, their structure is different, such as graphite has a layer structure, diamond has a tetrahedral structure, and buckminsterfullerene has a spherical structure.  



Since they have different structures, they have different physical properties too. For example, diamond is hard because all the carbon atoms in the structure is held together by strong covalent bonds, while graphite are graphene layers that are held by weak intermolecular forces which makes the layers slide over each other easily thus making graphite soft.

Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. the p
Olenka [21]

Answer is hypertonic.

The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is concern for all living things, especially in in organisms lacking cell wall, <em>Paramecium</em> is one such protozoan. It has specialized structures called contractile vacuoles. A contractile vacuole collects excess water from the cell and release it out, keeping the cell from lysing as it takes on water from extracellular environment which hypotonic (a lower osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm) as compared to hypertonic environment inside <em>Paramecium</em>.

How do mountain barriers modify rainfall patterns on Hawaii's Big Island and island of Maui?
Iteru [2.4K]

The explanation is given below

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hawaii's Big Island:

Mountain barriers play a significant role in modifying the air masses and topography affects the distribution of precipitation.

The orographic effect takes place on Hawaii's Big Island (i.e) the rising air makes the windward side of the mountains rainy and leeward side of the mountains dry.

Island of Maui:

In the Island of Maui, the high mean of rainfall is found on the windward side of the mountain slopes and the low mean of rainfall is found on the leeward lowlands and on upper slopes of the highest mountains.
