The statement is - True.
The five main factors that determine the weather at a certain place are the:
- geographic location/latitude
It determines the amount of sunlight, as well as the concentration of sun rays, which directly influences the temperature.
- altitude/height above sea level
The lower the place the warmer it is, the higher the place the colder it is, it is a simple rule that applies for all places on the planet, compared with places in their surroundings.
- ocean currents/large lakes
The ocean currents can bring cold and dry or warm and wet air masses, depending on what kind of an ocean current it is. The water also contributes to a more stable weather, with more moderate temperatures because of the thermal properties of the water to cool of and warm up slower than the land.
- winds
The air masses can bring cold and dry or warm and wet weather, so they influence the temperature and precipitation of a place.
- topography
Determines how much a place is exposed to the sunlight and the movement of the air masses.
Answer:
Viruses mutate very quickly The major reason that viruses evolve faster than say, mosquitoes or snakes or bed bugs, is because they multiply faster than other organisms. And that means every new individual is an opportunity for new mutations as they make a copy of their genetic material. Many of those mutations have no noticeable effect.
Explanation:
Answer:
increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress
Explanation:
Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
In fact, there is a Oceanic Carbon cycle! Carbon dioxide get absorbed by the ocean's surface from the atmosphere and then get converted into a dissolved inorganic compound and so on.
Answer:
The DNA must be copied so there is a full set of DNA to pass on to each daughter cell.
