A barrage is a dam-like structure that is built in the tidal zone of an ocean to capture tidal energy.

Explanation:

It has sluice gates that can be controlled to harness the kinetic energy in the flow of water. The sluice gates also have turbines. During high tides, as the water flows into the barrage, it turns the turbines that generate electricity using the dynamo effect. During low tide, as the water recedes back to the oceans, and the barrage gets emptied, the water flow, again, turns the turbines.

Some barrages first capture the ocean water during high tide, until the dam-like structure is full, without generating electricity. When the tide is low, the sluice gates release the water and the turbines generate electricity. This kind is a one –way power generation.

Describe some events that could start primary succession and list the succession of plant communities in primary succession.

Bingel [31]

Primary succession occurs when a natural disaster like an EQ, volcanic eruption, or flood, occurs to an area where there is no plant or animal life. The first organisms to appear are lichens, which over a long period of tome, will begin to form soil.

Answer:

Peach orchards

Explanation:

Using the Elton's diversity hypothesis, the worst effect of Asian long-horned beetle will be peach orchard.

This is because according to the Elton's diversity hypothesis, a more diverse population is less susceptible to invasion by exotic pest. of the options, peach orchard is the less diverse and would most likely be more affected.

The theory of plate tectonics:

sertanlavr [38]

A) .was immediately accepted

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics was immediately recognized as the explanation for the moving continents. It provided a more scientific background as why continents drift apart and the seafloor keeps spreading.

The theory explains that the earth is broken up into series of slabs called lithosphere which moves on the weak, ductile and fluid asthenosphere.
The movement of part of the earth mantle provided the mechanism through which the lithosphere moves. This is now known as the mantle convection.
This theory provided a scientific mechanism through which the plate moves and seafloor spreads.
It was immediately accepted when the theory was propounded by Alfred Holmes in the 1930s
