____ [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

When an oceanic plate is pushed under a continental plate, it sinks into the hot mantle.  

Water is forced out of the subducted plate and seeps into the mantle above.  

The water lowers the melting point of the hot mantle, which then liquefies to form magma.

Art [367]
The continents do move as new material from the center of the Earth rises, hardens and pushes older pieces of the Earth away from each other.

Which of the following is a function of stomata?
Vedmedyk [2.9K]


The most accurate answer is release water vapor.

Stomata are special pores in plants  found typically on the outer leaf skin layer called the epidermis. They consist of two specialized cells called guard cells that surround a tiny pore called a stoma.

Their main function is to allow water vapor and gases such as carbon dioxide and oxygen to move rapidly in and out of the leaf.

The word stomata means mouth in Greek because they allow communication between the  internal and external environments of the plant.

Describe how greenhouse gases contribute to climate change
vladimir1956 [14]
Greenhouse gases arise naturally, and are part of the make-up of our atmosphere. Earths conditions are just right to allow life, including us, to flourish. Part of what makes Earth so amenable is the naturally-arising greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet at a friendly 15 °C (59 °F) on average. But in the last century or so, humans have been interfering with the energy balance of the planet, mainly through the burning of fossil fuels that give off additional carbon dioxide into the air. The level of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been rising consistently for decades and traps extra heat near the surface of the Earth, causing temperatures to rise.
