Biology
1 answer:
lara31 [8.8K]3 years ago
6 0

<u>Answer</u>:

Smaller planets would dissipate heat more rapidly and this criteria doesn't satisfy the conditions of existence of life.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The existence of life on Earth was possible because it fulfilled the criteria needed for the conditions of generating life in a planet. Its distance from sun is appropriate, it is made up of rock, it is big enough to have a core which is molten and it has a magnetic field. If it was a smaller planet, then it would have a liquid hot core that dissipate heat at a rapid rate. This condition doesn't support the criteria of life's existence.

Which of the following statements is correct about the position of the foot and ankle complex during running movements?a. The fo
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

b. The foot and ankle should be pointing straight ahead in a dorsiflexed position when it hits the ground

Explanation:

Dorsiflexion is a movement in the ankle where the toes point in an upward direction allowing for correct foot strike if done properly at approx. 15 degrees. As you run, dorsiflexing your foot puts it in an ideal position to absorb the shock of the landing while simultaneously tensing your muscles to spring forward into the next stride which allows a reduced ground contact time per stride, allowing you to run faster and more efficiently.

If a runner has poor dorsiflexion they may experience a ‘loose’ or ‘floppy’ foot due to relaxation at the ankle joint which results in striking the ground through the toes which causes poor force distribution resulting in injuries such as shin splints and runner’s knee.
