During what event was the earth covered by 10% ice? How high were sea levels at this time?

1 answer:

6 0

There are two distinct Cryogenian ice ages called Sturtian glaciation between 750 and 700 million years ago, followed by the Varanger (or Marinoan) glaciation, 660 to 635 million years ago which covered the earth ice. Also the Global sea level has fluctuated widely in the recent geologic past.

Explanation:

Cryosphere is the part of the earth’ surface where the land areas exits in the solid form when the warming temperature low. The snow and ice covers the 10% of the earth permanently in the ratio of 60% in northern hemisphere and less than in snow in southern hemisphere.

Its is formed due to lesser warm temperature. snow and the ice covered on the surface it store the fresh water under the floating ice, most of the fresh water is present in the two major ice sheets Antarctica and Greenland.

Melting ice does not cause any impact on sea because it was already floating on the sea surface. If the temperature become warm, its melt on the ocean itself.

Answer:

That scrape on our knee will never heal and the blood loss due to bleeding will never be replaced. This is because RNA is inside of cells and without the ability to create new RNA you cannot replace missing cells. So the scrape will never heal if your cells cannot create new RNA.

The GO is a stage outside of the cell cycle commonly referred to as the "resting stage" because

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

G₀ being a stage of the cell cycle that is the resting stage, where there is no cell division, the cells that would remain in the G₀ stage throughout life are the neurons (option c).

Explanation:

In the G₀ phase, considered outside the cell cycle, there is cell metabolic activity but no cell division, since cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases disappear. Some cells, such as neurons, do not undergo cell division throughout the life of an organism, so they remain in G₀.

In some organs, such as the liver, the hepatocyte may remain in G₀ until the organ receives an injury, and may regenerate by cell division. This is not the case of neurons, which maintain a constant quantity throughout life.

The other options are not correct because:

a. Cancer cells are characterized by a very active and uncontrolled cell division process.

b. Liver cells can remain in G₀, but cell division can be activated when required.

d. Epithelial cells are constantly dividing, since it is a tissue that undergoes frequent cell replacement.
