I believe it is because the glass has a smaller coefficient of linear expansion than the water. The glass undergoes thermal expansion and thus when it heats up, it expands and when it cools down it contracts. The inside and the outside of the glass does not reach an equilibrium temperature very quickly since the glass has a low thermal conductivity. The surface of the glass rapidly contracts while the inner surface is expanding which causes the glass to crack.

What is an example of why the process of photosynthesis is important to life on earth
ruslelena [56]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy stored within carbohydrates, like molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy

Carbohydrates molecules that supply energy and provide support; they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. Inclusive of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers), their basic makeup comprises C, H, O -with many polar OH groups.

The energy they store, is required by all living organisms for biological processes; these undergo respiration, in order to release energy stored within its bonds, in the form of the molecule ATP.

The modern synthesis refers to a. the combination of Mendelian and blending inheritance. b. the combination of modern genetics a
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

B. the combination of modern genetics and Darwinism.

Explanation:

The modern synthesis refers to the concept which combined the theory of inheritance by Mendel and theory of evolution by Charles Darwin. The theory also used the concept of Theory of germplasm.

The modern synthesis concept came in the early 20th century when the studies were going on Mendel's theory and the evolutionary aspects.  The concept led to the formation of new concepts like the macroevolution, microevolution and the evolution affected by mutation of genes.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

What happens if a defendant is acquitted
Yuliya22 [10]
A verdict of not guilty constitutes an acquittal. In other words, to find a defendant not guilty is to acquit. At trial, an acquittal occurs when the jury (or the judge if it's a judge trial) determines that the prosecution hasn't proved the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
