No, India is not part of the Middle East.

Sometimes Pakistan (which used to be part of India, under the British Raj and which borders India) is counted in the Middle East, but often Middle East is thought to start only in Iran and not to include Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Describe three types of landforms and how they are shapes by surface events.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

A landform is a feature on the Earth's surface that is part of the terrain. Mountains, Hills, Plateaus and Plains are four major types of landforms. Minor landforms include buttes, canyons, valleys and basins. Tectonic plate movement under the Earth can create landforms by pushing up mountains and hills.

I need help please?!!
Nitella [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

The human brain is often said to be the most complex object in the known universe, and there’s good reason to believe that it is. That lump of jelly inside your head contains at least 80 billion nerve cells, or neurons, and even more of the non-neuronal cells called glia. Between them, they form hundreds of trillions of precise synaptic connections; but they all have moveable parts, and these connections can change. Neurons can extend and retract their delicate fibres; some types of glial cells can crawl through the brain; and neurons and glia routinely work together to create new connections and eliminate old ones.

These processes begin before we are born, and occur until we die, making the brain a highly dynamic organ that undergoes continuous change throughout life. At any given moment, many millions of them are being modified in one way or another, to reshape the brain’s circuitry in response to our daily experiences. Researchers at Yale University have now developed an imaging technique that enables them to visualise the density of synapses in the living human brain, and offers a promising new way of studying how the organ develops and functions, and also how it deteriorates in various neurological and psychiatric conditions.

The new method, developed in Richard Carson’s lab at Yale’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, is based on positron emission tomography (PET), which detects the radiation emitted by radioactive ‘tracers’ that bind to specific proteins or other molecules after being injected into the body. Until now, the density of synapses in the human brain could only be determined by autopsy, using antibodies that bind to and stain specific synaptic proteins, or electron microscopy to examine the fine structure of the tissue.

To get around this, the researchers designed a radioactive tracer molecule called [11C]UCB-J, which binds to a protein called SV2A, which is found exclusively in synaptic vesicles at nerve terminals, and which regulates the release of neurotransmitter molecules from them, a vital step in brain signalling. Other research teams have developed similar tracers that bind SV2A, but so far these have only been tested in rats, pigs and monkeys.

In order to determine that [11C]UCB-J is a reliable marker for synapse density, Carson and his colleagues injected the molecule into an olive baboon and scanned the monkey’s brain. This revealed that the tracer is taken up quickly by the brain tissue, becoming highly concentrated in the cerebral cortex, which consists largely of grey matter densely packed with synapses, but not in white matter tracts, which contains few or no synapses, within 6 to 16 minutes after the injection.

They then dissected the brain and took tissue samples from 12 different regions. Closer examination of these samples using antibody staining further revealed that SV2A levels correspond very closely to those of another protein called synaptophysin, which is considered to be the gold standard of synaptic density, and is used widely to estimate synapse numbers in brain tissue samples. Furthermore, SV2A distribution in the tissue samples was very closely correlated to the measurements obtained earlier by the PET scan, demonstrating that SV2A can be used to accurately measure the density of synapses.

Next, the researchers injected their tracer into five healthy human volunteers, and then scanned their brains, to obtain the very first images of synaptic density in the living human brain. The results were comparable to those seen in the monkey, with the radioactive signal peaking in the grey matter of the cortex within 6 to 15 minutes after injection, and then starting to decline steadily shortly afterwards.

Finally, they repeated this in three patients diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy. In all three, the scans showed decreased uptake of the radioactive tracer in the hippocampus, but only on that side of the brain that had previously been damaged by seizures. This not only confirms earlier reports that temporal lobe is associated with the loss of synapses, but also that [11C]UCB-J is sensitive enough to detect it.

Hope this helps darling!

What is the relationship between volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis in Asia? How do seismic events like earthquakes cause tsun
NISA [10]

The top layer of Earth is an interesting place. Also known as the 'crust,' this thin, solid layer is much more than meets the eye. If Earth were an apple, the skin of that apple could represent the crust in terms of thickness and location. But unlike an apple skin, Earth's crust isn't one large piece covering the entire planet. Instead, it's broken up into many different pieces called tectonic plates that fit together like a large puzzle.

Also unlike the apple, underneath the solid crust is not a deliciously crispy interior. Instead, directly below the crust, we have a thick liquid layer called the mantle. Because it is liquid, the mantle flows and moves around, which moves the plates sitting on top like pieces of ice on a pond.

When the plates get moved around, they wreak havoc because they crash into, and pull apart from, and rub against each other. And as you can imagine, these interactions can do some pretty serious damage. On Earth, these tectonic events result in dangerous natural disasters around the world, like earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis.

Earthquakes

Earthquakes can and do happen anywhere in the world, but the majority of them occur in a region known as 'The Ring of Fire.' As you'll learn a little later in this lesson, this is also where most of the world's volcanoes are found and where the name comes from.

The reason so many earthquakes occur in these areas is because this is where many of Earth's tectonic plates come together. Earthquakes begin deep underground along plate boundaries. Tension and pressure build up as the plates slide past and bump into each other and sometimes even stick together. Although the plate boundaries themselves may be stuck, the plates keep moving and pulling. Eventually, the pulling becomes too much and the plates suddenly break free from each other, causing an earthquake!

You can think of an earthquake like a game of tug-of-war. If you and your friend are both pulling on opposite ends of the rope and suddenly your friend lets go, all of that tension quickly leaves the rope and down onto the ground you go! An earthquake is very much the same - the plates get stuck together as they move, building up tension. Suddenly, the plates slip past each other and break free, sending that built-up tension through the ground in all directions.

Describe the general trend for the average insolation reflected by the Greenland ice sheet from 2006 to 2012 and state what can
DiKsa [7]
It is clear that from 2006 to 2012, the average insolation reflected by the Greenland ice sheets is decreasing. This indicates that each year, the amount of solar radiation that the ice sheets are able to reflect is decreasing. The level of insolation reflected is dependent on the area of ice sheets capable of reflecting the solar energy. Since the insolation reflected has decreased, this may mean that the area of the ice sheets has decreased as well.
