Answer: To establish a point from which to measure a future distance, or if movement has occurred.

Explanation:

A reference point is a point with respect to which one comes to know whether any movement has occurred or not. A still point is required. When the object changes distance from that point, it means that object has moved. The distance can be calculated from one point to another.

Therefore, A reference point is used to establish a point from which future distance or if movement has occurred is detected.

Which process is the most scientifically plausible explanation for how the organisms released oxygen into Earth's atmosphere? Gr

Stels [109]

Answer:

Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Studies about the time period of oxygen accumulation suggests that free oxygen was first produced by prokaryotic and then later by eukaryotic organisms in the ocean. These organisms carried out photosynthesis more efficiently, producing oxygen as a waste product.

The organism mainly responsible for this is known as cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae. These microbes conduct photosynthesis: using sunshine, water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates and, oxygen.

When you have a pot of water on the stove, heat is transferred to the water. Describe the behavior of the water molecules and ho

NikAS [45]

Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.
