Inner core  was found to be solid after observing the motion of P waves.

Explanation:

Seismologist Inge Lehmann, studied the seismic waves of an earthquake and discovered about inner core in the mantle layer of Earth. She States that there is a boundary of discontinuity between the outer and inner core of Earth.

She studied the travel of secondary and primary waves during an earthquake and how it flows at different shells of Earth's layer which helped her in finding about the inner core of mantle. She observed that the inner core is a solid layer inside the molten layer of outer core

List tim''s symptoms and identify the organ system (or specific organ) associated with those symptoms. (your may need to referen
pantera1 [17]
1. Tim's symptoms include deteriorated coordination, stamina and school performance, nausea, painful joints and an abnormal increase in growth rate. His personality also changed which manifested as depressive mood, introversion, anxiety and tension. These symptoms could indicate an endocrinological problem, therefore the organ system which could be associated with them is the thyroid gland.

2. The thyroid gland is an organ of the endocrine system which is located in the neck, behind Adam's apple. It regulates metabolism, protein synthesis and development. It does so by producing a number of hormones: calcitonin, thyroxine and triiodothyronine. The two thyroid hormones (thyroxine and triiodothyronine) regulate the body's metabolism by controlling the way cells produce and consume energy.

3. Hyperthyroidism is an endocrine condition in which there is an overproduction of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Under these conditions, the thyroid gland proves to be overactive and the main symptom is the acceleration of the metabolism. Tim's sudden increase of growth rate and inability to gain weight, along with his nervousness and mood swings, and his fatigue and loss of energy could indicate a problem of hyperthyroidism.

4. Cortisol is a steroid hormone which is produced by the thyroid gland. It is often called as the "stress hormone" as it is released in response to a stressful situation. It is also released in response to low blood glucose concentration. Some of cortisol's functions are the increase in blood sugar, the suppression of the immune system and bone formation. Cortisol is also involved in the metabolism of macronutrients.

Write a paragraph or two below to explain why there is a little change in the pH of battery acid when it is diluted with water.
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acid is becoming less acidic. Similarly, when an alkali is diluted with water the concentration of OH - ions decreases. This causes the pH of the alkali to fall towards 7, making the solution less alkaline as more water is added.
