Answer:

Convergent and divergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

In a convergent plate boundary, two plates move towards each other. Due to the impact, the heavier tectonic plate subducts beneath the lighter plate. This results in the formation of a subduction zone, and there forms a trench above this zone. The rocks at greater depths, melts and mixes up with the magma and eventually rises upward, towards the surface in the over-riding plate, giving rise to the formation of volcanoes and volcanic arcs.

In a divergent plate boundary, two plates move away from one another. Due to this opposite motion of plates, there occur cracks on the seafloor and land areas, from where the magma comes out. With continuous spreading, there forms a ridge, which is commonly known as the mid-oceanic ridge. This type of plate boundary is responsible for the formation and expansion of the ocean basin. For example, the mid-Atlantic ridge.

Answer:

1- One of the most immediate and obvious effects of worldwide warming is the increase in temperatures around the world. The average worldwide temperature has increased by about 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) over the past 100 years, according to the National Ocean-related and (related to the air outside) Management (NOAA).

The (related to the air outside) carbon dioxide concentration has risen from about 270 parts per million (ppm) before 1700 to about 355 ppm today. Climate changes, including a mean worldwide surface temperature rise of between 2.8 and 5.2°C, have been (described a possible future event) by five independent general circulation models (GCMs) for a doubling of the carbon dioxide concentration. The goals of this paper are to examine plant responses to rising carbon dioxide levels and (related to the Earth's weather) changes and to understand/explain the results of these changes on crop water use and water supplies for the United States.

2- Human activity has increased the direct warming effect of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 50 percent above pre-industrial levels during the past 25 years, according to NOAA's 10th Once-a-year (glass building where plants are grown) Gas Index.

I hope this helped you! Make sure you put this in your own words, and if you want me to put it in your own words for you, let me know! Also, you do not have to write all of that, just write the most important stuff! : )

51. What is the importance of the photic zone in aquatic habitats? a. Oxygen levels are very low in the photic zone, often resul
marshall27 [118]

Answer: e. The photic zone is where most primary production occurs.

Explanation:

The photic zone can be define as the sunlight or photosynthetic zone. It is the uppermost layer of the water body like lake, ocean, pond or others. This zone receives the maximum sunlight in the entire water body. Thus this facilitates the growth of large number of plants and other autotrophs like diatoms. This is called as the zone of primary productivity because in water the sunlight and dissolved atmospheric carbon dioxide are available for conducting the process of photosynthesis.
