Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.

Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.

Explanation:

Question 1: Magma seeps up along plate boundaries and forms mountains.

When lithospheric plates move apart they create divergent plate margin where magma seeps up along the plate boundary and forms series of mountains. The mid oceanic ridge was formed this way.

  • The lithosphere lies on the weak and molten asthenosphere.
  • Different plate interactions produces a wide range of plate movement.
  • Along a divergent margin usually, two oceanic plates are forced to move apart.
  • The forces the asthenosphere to rise through seeps as magmatic bodies.
  • The rising magma them crystallizes along the margins of the plate to form mountain chains like the mid-oceanic ridge.
  • It is common to find young rocks at the plate margin and the older ones away from spreading centers.

Question 2: Factor 1 creates competition and factor 2 creates genetic variation.

Scarcity of space leads to competition between organisms and availability of mates creates genetic variations.

  • In an ecosystem with limited space, there will pressure on available resources.
  • This will lead to different organism developing strategies to efficiently adapt to their environment.
  • Organisms will in turn begin to compete with one another for the limited resources.

When we have a diverse number of mating options, genetic variation occurs. This suggests that we can have different gene combination as a result of the mating organisms.

A variation in the genetic pool of a place leads to better adaptable traits to survive the environment.

The techniques earthquake is a term which refers to the science of constructing buildings that are able to withstand the effects of an earthquake. 

The instruments used to measure the intensity and direction of an earthquake are known as a seismograph and a seismoscope. The seismograph measures the movement of the ground during an earthquake. The seismoscope shows the direction of an earthquake.

The Intensity Scale is a scale that measures the intensity of an earthquake. It also measures the effects of an earthquake.

How does phosphorus reach surface waters​
egoroff_w [7]

It is an essential element for plant life, but when there is too much of it in water, it can speed up eutrophication (a reduction in dissolved oxygen in water bodies caused by an increase of mineral and organic nutrients) of rivers and lakes. Soil erosion is a major contributor of phosphorus to streams.

If the tube incubated at 100°C was placed back in the optimum temperature, would a reaction occur?
Paha777 [63]
The optimum temperature of salivary amylase ranges from 32°C to 37°C.<span>This applies to the human body since salivary amylase is suitable to function within these temperatures. After </span>37°C<span>, the graph then steeply declines as a result of loss of activity. At 50°C and 70°C, salivary amylase is denatured.</span>
