thousands of years

Explanation:

A delta the size of the Mississippi River will take several thousand of years to form because the process of formation of a delta is geologically controlled.

A delta is a place where  river enters or drains into the sea with many mouth or outlets.

Deltas are depositional terrain full of dis-tributaries.

  • For a delta to form, a terrain must be close to the mouth of an ocean or a larger body of water.
  • The entering stream must be large enough and have large amount of sediment.
  • The river mouth must have been cut to the same level with that of the drainage basin.
  • Most rivers such terrain should be at their lower course where they flow with very low velocity.
  • Wave action should be minimal along such coasts.

These processes takes several thousands of years if not millions.

Answer: (1) photosynthesis occurred

Explanation: The photosynthesis process in cianobacteria changed the composition of earth's atmosphera, rising oxygen levels. This could be possible since photosynthesis used energy from the sun to produce energetic intermediaries to synthesize sugars, and as byproduct due to water photolisis, is oxygen.

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling
Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.

What is a stationary location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that ri
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.
