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.

Name the three different protists that you identified and mention the structures that they use for movement.
Kay [80]

Answer:

Animal-like protists are called protozoa. Most consist of a single cell.

Plant-like protists are called algae. They include single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweed.

Fungus-like protists are molds. They are absorptive feeders, found on decaying organic matter.

Julia created a chart to summarize the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. What in her table needs to be correct?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Um, first of all this isn't biology it's geography.

Explanation:

But I guess I could help. I think that table C needs to be corrected because divergent plate boundaries are known to separate instead of colliding to form new crust but I could be mistaken so you have to double check. If I am correct please make me brainliest
