Study the illustration below of the plate tectonics affecting the continent of Africa. Divergent plates are causing the East Afr

ican Rift Zone to spread. This area is a deep valley surrounded by mountains, similar to a mid-ocean ridge. What do you predict will eventually happen at the East African Rift Zone?
- Lake Victoria will shrink and disappear as all the plates converge

- The African plate will grow larger as all of the plates converge

- water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

- The Indian Ocean will shrink and disappear as the Rift Zone gets larger

water from the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean will flow into the rift and flood the area

Explanation:

The rift in east Africa is a divergent margin where two plates are moving away from one another.

Eventually, what will happen is that the separation will lead to the formation of  a basin and the water from the nearby ocean will fill it up.

The proximal water body here are the water in the Indian Ocean.

The oceans of the world today were once together and the continents apart too.

When the continents started moving apart, the oceans filled the void left behind. This same process will occur in East Africa rift valley system.

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: False

Explanation: The COMPLEMENT SYSTEM consists of proteins synthesized in the liver. They are activated by inespecific harmful substance (antigen) and begins a cascade of proteins that finally forms an attack complex against bacteria.

The COMPLEMENT is part of the INNATE IMMUNITY, because it is an inherent response, something all humans born with, and it is part of the first defense barrier against any antigen. Part of the innate immunity are too: natural killer cells, neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages.

On the other hand, the ADAPTATIVE IMMUNITY, is the response that the body develops after being exposed to an antigen before. It is like something that the body recognizes, and then "learns" how to act against it. Part of the adaptative immunity are: lymphocyte T and B, and the antibodies (substances called Immunoglobulins). The immunoglobulins (Ig) are glycoproteins present in the blood.

Columnar epithelial tissue.

Explanation:

The above scenario confirms that these are simple columnar epithelial tissue because columnar cells are tall, narrow and nucleus in the tall column like cells located at the basal end of the cells. Columnar epithelial tissue are responsible for absorption and secretion of molecules. These are present at some part of digestive tract, female reproductive tract, and respiratory system.
