The amount of water on the planet is fixed; it neither increases or decreases. Glaciers are sheets of moving ice. This water to form these extensive sheets must come from somewhere. The water comes from the most extensive store on the planet; the oceans. Ice Ages always corresponds to periods of low sea level because much of the ocean water is is land locked as glaciers.

critically evaluate the role of a persons rights and responsibilities when executing freedom of expression during verbal interpe
Stells [14]

A person does have basic human rights and one is the freedom of expression. Though this is the case, we should understand that our right to freely express ourselves (from political to religious views), it does not necessarily give us the right to impede another person’s. A play with words can easily hurt or even harass other people, and in return may be a form of human right violation.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
