The Nueces estuary is found where the Nueces River enters the Gulf of Mexico. This estuary, which is part of the Gulf Coast Prai

ries and Marshes ecoregion of Texas, provides wetlands habitat for many aquatic and land-dwelling species.
Which of the following illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands?
A.
Erosion by the river carries soil from the wetlands to the deep waters of the Gulf.
B.
Weathering by the river breaks up soil so it can be removed from the wetlands.
C.
Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients.
D.
Regular flooding by the river keeps all of the wetlands' soil permanently underwater.

Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands.

Option: C

Explanation:

A river in its lower course leave the high elevated area and enters into the flat land. In the lower course of the river deposition is the prime work of a river. Estuary, delta are some of the landform that formed in the lower course of a river. Here, Nueces estuary is formed where Nueces river enters into the gulf.

In this gulf a wetland is formed which supports aquatic life and a dwelling place for them and land species also. Here, river deposits all its sediments and replenish the soil of wetland with new sediments and nutrients.

What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?​
kakasveta [241]

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place.  A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.

What can you determine about mechanical energy from this graph?​
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

What can be determined from the graph includes;

a) The Mechanical Energy M.E. = 1.0

b) The initial K.E. =  1.0, The initial P.E. = 0

c) The period for the kinetic energy = The period for the potential energy = 0.25

d) The frequency of oscillation of the kinetic and potential energy = 4 Hz

e) The object starts with its maximum velocity

Explanation:

The equation between kinetic energy, K.E., potential energy, P.E. and total mechanical energy, M.E. is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

From the graph, we  have;

a) M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = 1.0

b) At time t = 0,

The initial K.E. = M.E. = 1.0, P.E. = 0

At time t = 0.125,

P.E. = M.E. = 1.0, K.E. = 0

c) The period for the kinetic energy, K.E. = The period for the potential energy, P.E. = 0.25

d) The frequency of oscillation of K.E. and P.E. = 1/T = 1/0.25 = 4 Hz

e) The object starts in motion with maximum velocity at time t = 0.

What is the DNA sequence for the following mRNA sequence: CUCAAGUGCUUC? A. CUCAAGUGCUUC B. GAGUUCACGAAG C. AGACCTGTAGGA
Valentin [98]

B. GAGUUCACGAAG


Finding the complimentary bases always follows the same rules- the only difference is the use of uracil "U" instead of thymine "T"... so instead of replacing "A" adenine with "T" thymine, we replace it with "U" uracil
