oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>Most of the charged particles from the sun are deflected around earth by the Earth's magnetic field.

Inside the Earth lies molten core. High percentage of the core is iron. This iron rotates around the center and create magnetic field. This field extends out of the Earth into the space. It surrounds Earth and protects it from the charged particles. Those particles are diverted to the magnetic poles and they create lights in the atmosphere by reacting with gases in atmosphere. On the north magnetic pole we can see northern lights (aurora borealis) and on the south magnetic pole we can see south lights (aurora australis).</span>

Describe the roles of temperature and precipitation in determining what parts of the earth’s land are covered with:
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

(a) Desert- In a desert environment, the temperature is relatively very high during daytime due to high absorption of sunlight and at night it again cools down. There is little or no precipitation here. This region includes the equatorial and some parts of the tropical region.

(b) Arctic tundra- This region lies in the higher latitudinal areas extending from the arctic to the extreme poles. The temperature here is extremely cold and precipitation is low. The plants and trees here are short in height.

(c) Temperate grassland- These are the mid-latitude areas covering the extensive grasslands of both the northern and the southern hemisphere. The temperature and precipitation level here are both moderate.

(d) Tropical rain forest- These are the regions that covers the vast rain forest areas in the tropical region of both the hemispheres. The temperature here is high is relatively high and high moisture content. As a result of which the rate of evaporation is high and rainfall is maximum. The region is rich in diverse trees and plants species.

(e) Temperate deciduous forest- These are the regions covering the mid latitudes that are rich in the deciduous forest. These are the dry forests comprised of various plant species. The temperature in this region is very moderate and summers are comparatively much cooler. Precipitation in this region is also quite moderate.

Describe what takes place during cellular respiration in complex organisms
V125BC [204]
Cellular respiration is the process in which an organism breaks down energy so it can be absorbed. The chemical equation is C^6H^12O^6+6O^2 ⇒ 6H^2O+6CO^2+Energy(ATP) Everything on the right side of the equation are the reactants and everything on the left are the products. This basically is saying that glucose(sugar) plus oxygen will give you carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Oh and I don't know how to type subscripts on here, so in the equation when I put ^ and a number, it was meant to be a subscript.
