Answer:

B) muscularis externa

Explanation:

Muscularis externa is a muscle layer of gastrointestinal tract (GI)that consists of an inner circular muscular layer and a longitudinal outer muscular layer.

Peristalsis is one-way contraction (followed by relaxation) of muscles found in GI which moves the caudal direction. Peristalsis involves rhythmic contractions of the longitudinal muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, most commonly in the eosophagus.

Segmentation is also process of muscular  contractions  in the GI.  Segmentation involves contractions of the circular muscles in the digestive tract and its function is to move chyme in both directions.

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.

Which best describes accuracy
aleksley [76]
Accuracy describes how well a measuring instrument determines the variable it is measuring. How close the value is to real value. The level of accuracy of measuring tool determines the detail to which it can measure. In order to be accurate in their work scientists need first select a measuring instrument that allows an appropriate measure of accuracy and then to calibrate it. Calibrating an instrument involves measuring already known quantities to check how accurately it is. In the laboratory accuracy of a test is determined when possible comparing results from the test in question with results geenrated from an established reference method.
