<span>This is a barrier island. These typically are formed as a way of protecting the mainland from storms and erosional forces. In addition, barrier islands typically form parallel to the mainland and in chains. These islands can allow wetlands to form once enough sand has built up near the shoreline.</span>
1. Evaporation is the escape of water molecules from their liquid phase to gas phase that go up into the atmosphere. Evaporation can occur anywhere where open liquid water is exposed to sunlight or any other source of energy. Transpiration, on the other hand, is the loss of water (by evaporation) from plants through the stomata. Evaporation and transpiration move water from the biosphere to the atmosphere.
2. Condensation is the return of water molecules from gaseous phase (vapor) back to liquid form. Precipitation, on the other hand, is the coming down of condensed water from the atmosphere to the earth (biosphere), which is a significant part of the water cycle.
3. Exchange pool is the pool from (or approximate amount) which water or other elements are shared (back and forth) between different spheres (such as biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) in a cycle. A reservoir on the other hand is analogous to a ‘container’ that holds large masses of water or other elements such as a lake and the atmosphere.
4. The answer is No. because, today’s waters, due to increased pollution from industrialization that spews a lot of pullutans into the atmphere, ae contamiated. The water that precipitates is tainted by gases such as sulphuric dioxide tha makes it acidic. The water also gets polluted by other pollutants in the atmpshre and biosphere and hence become a health risk to animals and humans that drink it.
False
<span>Marine ecosystems like lakes and oceans have aphotic zones. Aphotic zones refer to the zones in the water where there is little or no sunlight. It is found in bodies of water were depths only receive less than 1% of sunlight penetrations. Bioluminescence is essentially the only light found in this zone and most food comes from dead organisms that sink at the bottom of lakes or oceans. </span>
Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as mitosis or binary fission. ... Because the chromosomes of each parent undergo genetic recombination during meiosis, each gamete, and thus each zygote, will have a unique genetic blueprint encoded in its DNA.
