Answer:

D. is responsible for most of the skin's structural strength.

Explanation:

A. contains no blood vessels.

False. The dermis contains blood vessels together embedded in it along with the sweat and sebaceous or oil glands, hair follicles, and nerve endings.

B. functions as a padding and insulation.

False. The fat layer that is located below the dermis is the one responsible for padding and insulation.

C. is divided into three distinct layers

False. The dermis is divided into only two separate layers. These are the papillary layer or the upper layer and the reticular layer or the lower layer.

D. is responsible for most of the skin's structural strength.

Yes, the dermis functions for providing the skin's structural strength because of it's thick fibrous and elastic tissue layer. This layer consists primarily of collagen and elastin that also allows for the skin's flexibility.

E. is made of epithelial tissue.

False. The dermis is made up of fibrous and elastic tissue. It is the epidermis which is composed of the epithelial tissue.

Why do predictions by the European weather model sometimes differ from predictions made by the American weather model?

kramer

The European weather model sometimes differ from predictions made by the American weather model because The two models use different types of data measurements

The amount of solar energy that reaches Earth is changed by the Milankovitch cycles

Explanation:

(I)

Remember that in the United States, they use different SI units as compared to Europe. For example, Europe uses degrees Celsius as a measure of temperature while the United States uses Fahrenheit. In addition, the United uses Pounds for weight measurements while Europe uses Kilograms and grams. The US uses miles while Europe uses kilometers. The United States uses yards while Europe uses meters.

The differences can cause a difference in the input and output measurement gotten from the models. However, the models are the same because the basic principles of weather across the world are the same.

(II)

Milankovitch cycles are differential changes in the earth as it revolves, around the sun, in its orbit. They explain the changes in the orbital eccentricity of the earth's orbit, the changes in the tilt of the earth (obliquity), axial and apsidal precessions. All these affect how the earth is oriented, in space, towards the sun. The orientation affect how the sun rays ‘hit’ the earth. Differences in how different places on earth receive the sunlight affect the climate of the regions. These changes occur very slowly, relative to our time, hence the changes also are hard to perceive except over decades and millennia.
