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.

Microbes have very narrow optimum temperature ranges. Which of the following classifications of microbes are most likely to caus

dexar [7]

Answer:

mesophiles

Explanation:

Meophiles or mesophilic microbes are those microscopic organisms that thrives best in moderate temperature between 20 to 45 degree Celsius.

This region of temperature happens to overlap with the region of temperature that humans live, carry out their day to day physical and biological activities.

Hence, mesophiles represents the group of microbes that are most likely to cause human diseases.

Contemporary landscapes result from many causes, including variability in abiotic conditions, such as climate, topography, and soils; biotic interactions, such as competition, mutualism, herbivory, and predation, that can generate spatial pattern even when environmental conditions are homogenous; natural disturbances. I hope this helps :)

Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually. How is this better for them

lukranit [14]

Answer:

C. They can grow to larger populations more quickly

Explanation:

Bacteria are the key entities of biogeochemical cycles (Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, etc.) on Earth. The strength of these cycles is typically achieved when they can multiply faster in a relatively short time period. If all bacteria on Earth start reproducing via sexual means only, then many of the biogeochemical cycles would take forever, thus generating nutrients at a slower rate. Since higher organisms (e.g. eukaryotes) depend on the abundant supply of nutrients, the overall life on Earth would be compromised to a larger extent in the absence of sufficient nutrients supply. Thus, it is beneficial for all forms of life that bacteria reproduce mainly via asexual means.

PS: A simple bacterium can produce millions of copies in 24 hours period.
