<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.

Apa template about multiple sclerosis
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Multiple Sclerosis is an inflammatory disease in which myelin sheath of nerve cells of brain and spinal cord are damaged.

Explanation:

Cause:- (Exact cause of inflammation is not known)

  • But damage is caused due to attack by autoimmune cells or antibodies against myelin sheath.

Types of tissues attack:-

  • Oligodendrocytes and myelin sheath is damaged and stripped away from axon and the process is known as demyelination.
  • Myelin sheaths are made up of fatty tissues and help in transmission of electric impulse.

Result of immune system attack:-

  • Damaged myelin sheath stop forming whIte matter of central nervous system.
  • Hence disrupt coordinating communication between different brain regions.

Signs and symptoms:- vary from person to person

  • Diminished eyesight.
  • Disrupt motor coordination.
  • Weak sensory perception.
  • Fatigue and dizziness.
  • Speech disorder.
  • Muscle weakness and spasticity.
  • Difficulty in urination and stool.

Diagnosis and treatment:-

  • Diagnosis include MRI T2 findings and cerebrospinal fluid specific oligoclonal bands.

Eva8 [605]
<span>The answer is "Meiosis".
 
Meiosis is a cell division process which forms four daughter cells which are different from parent cell. Formed daughter cells have half of chromosomes when compared to parent cells. Hence, Daughter cells are haploid (have single set of chromosomes). This process occurs in the sexually reproductive organisms and formed daughter cells can be either sperms or egg cells according to the gender of living being.</span>
