What would happen to the oceans if continental and oceanic crust had the same density?

Biology
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The oceanic crust is formed by partial melting of the mantle at mid-ocean ridges. The continental crust is formed even more cycles of partial melting over time, resulting less dense rocks.

Explanation:

The mantle, oceanic crust, and continental crust all have different compositions due to a process called partial melting.

This is where you start to melt a rock, but don´t melt it all the way.

When you partially melt a rock, certain chemical elements tend to stay in the solid rock while others tend to go into the melted part.

As a result, the rock that forms from that melt is less dense than the original rock.

If you then partially melt that rock, you get a rock that is even lighter.

In what way do the nervous and endocrine systems differ in a way
Simora [160]

The nervous system communicates through electrical impulses and the communication is very fast. It works in a relay fashion, from point to point comparable to the way the old telephones systems used to work.

The endocrine system communicates by chemical signals via the bloodstream. Hormones are secreted into the blood and extra cellular fluids, then transported to target cells, which must bear a receptor to be able to bind to a specific hormone, and respond. 

Hormones are chemical messengers secreted into blood or extracellular fluid that affect the function of other cells.

Endocrine communication is not quite as fast as the nervous system communication

Natural killer cells destroy target cells or pathogens by ingestion and destruction of particulate matter in a process called ph
podryga [215]

Answer:

<h2>False</h2>

Explanation:

Natural killer cells (NK cells) are a type of lymphocyte and also a component of innate immune system. NK cells play various functions in immune system and they play a major role in the host-rejection in virally infected cells.

NK cells are activated in response to interferons  and also by various other responses. NK cells work to by secreting IFNγ and TNFα. Natural killer cells play a very important role in early host defense against viruses.

Answer:

Relative age only tells us the order in which events occurred, from the earliest to the most recent. Knowing the actual date of an event allows us to say exactly how old something is or how long ago it actually took place.

What are the differences between mitosis and meiosis in human cells? Pay particular attention to the types of cells, number of d
Nezavi [6.7K]
Mitosis Involves one cell division? Results in two daughter cells Results in diploid? daughter cells? (chromosome? number remains the same as parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically identical Occurs in all organisms except viruses Creates all body cells (somatic?) apart from the germ cells? (eggs and sperm) Prophase is much shorter No recombination/crossing over occurs in prophase. In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Meiosis Involves two successive cell divisions Results in four daughter cells Results in haploid? daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell) Daughter cells are genetically different Occurs only in animals, plants and fungi Creates germ cells (eggs and sperm) only Prophase I takes much longer Involves recombination/crossing over of chromosomes in prophase I In metaphase I pairs of chromosomes line up along the equator. During anaphase I the sister chromatids move together to the same pole. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Similarities Mitosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase In metaphase individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis. Meiosis Diploid parent cell Consists of interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (but twice!) In metaphase II individual chromosomes (pairs of chromatids) line up along the equator. During anaphase II the sister chromatids are separated to opposite poles. Ends with cytokinesis.
