Answer:

Explanation:

It affects organic evolution because it may tend to shift land masses and as a result, it would change the climate of the area as well. The adaptations animals may have, in the past, had changed to a hot/cold climate and might no longer be needed and the animals will need to evolve further in order to survive successfully.

Give three instantaneous scale (time) examples of Earth's systems, two long-term scale (time) examples of Earth's sytems, and th
Goshia [24]

The Earth comprises many spheres of subsystems, which associate with each other to develop a composite and spontaneously changing system of the Earth. The processes taking place in the system of the Earth occurs on spatial scales changing from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales, which varies from milliseconds to billions of years.  

The examples of instantaneous scales are a rotation of the Earth, breathing, an earthquake.  

The examples of long-term scales are making coal and plate tectonics.  

The system of the Earth is featured by various overlapping cycles in which matter is recycled again and again. The cycles involve interactions between multiple spheres and systems. The examples of cycles are rock cycle, day and night, and seasons.  

Volcanoes discharge a huge concentration of particulate matter into the atmosphere. These particles function as nuclei for the development of droplets of water (hydrosphere). The rainfall, that is, hydrosphere usually upsurges after an eruption, initiating growth of the plant (biosphere). Thus, volcanoes and volcanic activities are a good illustration of system interactions.

The __________ of the heart rests on the diaphragm, and from its __________, the great vessels emerge (hint: not chambers)
Sergeu [11.5K]
The answer is apex and base. To simplify, the apex of the heart rests on the diaphragm and from its base, the great vessels emerge. In addition, blood vessels that are nearer to the pumping heart and must enlarge to endure pressure variations are named elastic arteries and foramen ovale permits blood to pass from the right to the left atrium, therefore avoiding to pass the fetal lungs.

Explain the chemical properties that cause water to have a relatively high specific heat and how that, in turn, affects water's
RideAnS [48]
Water is a polar molecule bcz oxygen bears partial negative charhe and hydrogen bears partial positive charge. This results in extensive hydrogen bonding btween water molecules. The temperature is another way of saying the average kinetic energy of gases liquids or vibration for the case of solids. The Heat Capacity is the ability of matter to absorb thermal energy. Water's specific heat is defined as one. Water has high heat capacity because it can store heat in many ways. Which makes its capacity higher than anything

The pupil opens and closes automatically in response to light.What part of your nervous system controls this response and is it
Zigmanuir [339]
Pupillary response is a physiological response that varies the size of the pupil, via the optic and oculomotor cranial nerve. Involuntary reflex reaction to exposure or inexposure to light—in low light conditions a dilated pupil lets more light into the eye. :)
