According to the theory of isostasy, which statement must be true?

Biology

Korvikt [17]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The correct option is Option C </em>

<em>i.e. Asthenosphere is denser than lithosphere. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Asthenosphere is the layer situated below the lithosphere.

Theory of isostasy says that the layers above the other layer must have lesser density. This has two explanations. Firstly, if its not hold, then the denser above layer would sink below the less denser bottom layer. Secondly, as we go inwards, the pressure increases. This leads to the lower layers have greater density. So, as Asthenosphere is situated below the lithosphere, it has higher density.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Isostatic equilibrium is used to state why some regions of the lithosphere have greater elevation than others. The crust ‘floats’on the‘liquid’ mantle below and different regions  of the crust submerge into the mantle differentially depending on their local densities or weight. Heavier regions such as in mountainous region (like the Himalayas) are sunken deeper into the mantle that other regions.  Every local region has its own local isostatic equilibrium.

The _______________ community has low diversity with microorganisms primarily in the Leptospirillum groups II and III and from t
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The <u>Acidophilic Microbial</u> Community has low diversity with microorganisms primarily in Leptospirillum groups II and III and from Ferroplasma types I and II.

Explanation:

An acidophilic microorganism or plant is one which grows best in acidic conditions.

They are also referred to as microorganisms which occur in acidic natural (solfataric fields, sulphuric pools) and man-made (eg. Acid mine drainage) environments.

Acidophilic Microbes otherwise known as Acidophiles are an ecologically and economically important group.

They possess networked cellular adaptations for regulating intracellular pH. Several extracellular enzymes from acidophilic microbes are known to be functional at much lower pH than that inside the cells.

Acid stable enzymes have applications in several industries such as starch, baking, fruit juice processing, animal feed and pharmaceuticals, and some of them have already been commercialized. Acidophiles are widely used in bio-leaching of metals from low grade ores

Recent studies show that acidophiles are currently being considered to be utilized in bio-conversion and bio-remediation, as well as in microbial fuel cells to generate electricity.

Acidophilic microbes of similar characteristics are classifed in groups for ease of study and identification.

Leptospirillum Group II and II as well as Ferroplasma types I and II are groups of acidophilic microorganisms within the Acidophillic Microbial community.

Cheers!

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

C. You can see the parts in a heterogeneous mixture but can't see them in a homogeneous mixture.

Explanation:

a heterogeneous mixture is in other words, the one that does not mix or is not uniformly combined, hence leading to the creation of layers of the substances used.

a homogeneous mixture is the one that completely dissolves, or mixes, or is uniformly combined.
