Lunar maria (plural form of the Latin word mare, which means sea) are dark surfaces that can be found all over the moon (17% of the Moon is covered in them) that have been created as a result of volcanic eruptions. These areas are made up of basalt, and given that they seemed almost waterlike, the astronomers in the distant past mistook them for seas, whence their name comes.
When it comes to craters, their origin is quite similar - volcanic eruptions created them. When lava starts erupting from a volcano, it has to get out from somewhere - and thus craters are created. If you are referring to lunar craters, however, there are many speculations as to how they were created: due to volcanic eruptions, meteoric impact, or glacier activity.

Select TWO events that occur when a neurotransmitter binds and activates an excitatory synapse.
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Key points

Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.

Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.

At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:The based on this information interaction between these two species can best be described as COMPETITION. Correct option is B

Explanation:

Competition occurs between two species that shares the same requirements ( especially food) for survival.

Both the Western Toad and the Bull Frog has a similar niche because they require the same type of food (beetles, bees, and small aquatic insects) to survive in the environment of Arroyo Seco. Only one of the species will coexist in that environment and it's usually the survival of the fittest.

This explains the competitive exclusion principle proposed by Georgii Gause in 1934.
