What is the composition of the asthenosphere?

Biology
1 answer:
BartSMP [9]3 years ago
5 0

The asthenosphere lies 80-200km below the surface under the lithosphere. Convection also occurs in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mostly made of up rock material (magnesium and iron silicates). The asthenosphere makes up 6% of the mantle and lets the lithosphere move.

Best of Luck!

Five ounces of beef strip steak would count as ____ ounce equivalent of the protein foods.
Andrews [41]

The 5 ounces of beef strip steak would count as 5-ounce equivalents in the Protein Foods Group.  

Al the foods made from poultry, meat, seafood, peas and beans, eggs, processed soy products, seeds, and nuts are regarded as the component of the Protein Foods Group.  

Steak, like any other animal product, is a rich source of protein. A 5 oz serving of steak gives 38 grams of protein, more than 6 times of the amount in one egg. The proteins help in repairing muscles and other tissues and also helps in building muscles.

1.What is the difference between evaporation and transpiration? What role does each process play in the water cycle?
anygoal [31]
1. Evaporation is the escape of water molecules from their liquid phase to gas phase that go up into the atmosphere. Evaporation can occur anywhere where open liquid water is exposed to sunlight or any other source of energy. Transpiration, on the other hand, is the loss of water (by evaporation) from plants through the stomata. Evaporation and transpiration move water from the biosphere to the atmosphere.

2. Condensation is the return of water molecules from gaseous phase (vapor) back to liquid form. Precipitation, on the other hand, is the coming down of condensed water from the atmosphere to the earth (biosphere), which is a significant part of the water cycle.

3. Exchange pool is the pool from (or approximate amount) which water or other elements are shared (back and forth) between different spheres (such as biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) in a cycle. A reservoir on the other hand is analogous to a ‘container’ that holds large masses of water or other elements such as a lake and the atmosphere.

4. The answer is No. because, today’s waters, due to increased pollution from industrialization that spews a lot of pullutans into the atmphere, ae contamiated. The water that precipitates is tainted by gases such as sulphuric dioxide tha makes it acidic. The water also gets polluted by other pollutants in the atmpshre and biosphere and hence become a health risk to animals and humans that drink it.

Why does natural selection act on the phenotypes rather than the genotype of an organism?
o-na [289]
This is why natural selection acts on phenotypes instead of genotypes. A phenotype is an organism's physical traits, while a genotype is an organism's genetic makeup. This may sound counter-intuitive since the genetic makeup does get<span> passed on from generation to generation through reproduction.</span>
