Answer:

Movements of tectonic plates create volcanoes along the plate boundaries, which erupt and form mountains. A volcanic arc system is a series of volcanoes that form near a subduction zone where the crust of a sinking oceanic plate melts and drags water down with the subducting crust.

How can scientist explain our ability to feel empathy? Can evolution explain the types of group’s primates will organize themsel

Temka [501]

Empathy is a feeling that, in short, represents the ability to put yourself in the other person's shoes. This encompasses thoughts, actions or feelings regarding whatever subject is being addressed.

<h3>Can evolution explain the types of primates in the group into which they will organize themselves?</h3>

As they age, the saddles become larger and eventually cover most of their backs. The most common social group pattern among semi-terrestrial primates is the multimale-multifemale group. With this pattern, there are no stable heterosexual bonds--both males and females have a number of different mates.

<h3>How is Homo sapiens different from other non-human primates?</h3>

Upright posture, arms shorter than legs, extraordinary brains. While the natural "lottery" acted on these and other characteristics, primitive man climbed a new rung of the evolutionary scale. "In evolutionary terms, it is important to think that it is not adaptation that arises to respond to environmental needs; a variation happens and the environment ends up favoring it"

With this information, we can conclude that We are all descendants of Homo sapiens that originated in Africa. Thanks to genetics, we know that all Homo sapiens are descended from an African woman who lived about 200,000 years ago.

Cheamical structure or formula for photosynthesis

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

The overall balanced equation is...

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Sunlight energy

Where: CO2= carbon dioxide

H2O = water

Light energy is required

C6H12O6 = glucose

O2 = oxygen

hope this helps

Goryan [66]

Cell division has two checkpoints namely, G1 checkpoint and spindle assembly checkpoint. The checkpoint which determines if division has properly occurred is the G1 checkpoint. At this point, is a damage in the DNA is detected or the has not reach the optimum size, the cell is stopped in G1 and is not allowed to proceed to further process.
