Which of the following is not essential in the formation of black shale units?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

B. Aerobic bottom water

D. High organic productivity in the overlying oxygen rich water

Explanation:

A Shale is a sedimentary rock usually formed from silt and clay-size mineral. There are different colors of Shale. The Black Shale is formed under anaerobic conditions. This means that oxygen is deficient in the water where the Shale forms.

A little amount of organic materials is required for the formation of Black Shale and because Black Shale is formed in an environment lacking oxygen, an oxygen-rich water would not be necessary for its growth. Sediments are necessary in the formation of Black Shale.

Yall I need help on this science question about genes..​
tangare [24]

The correct answer is B. Cells divide, producing more cells.

Explanation

The cell is the basic unit of life for all living things. Likewise, it is a form of classification for them since living organisms can be classified according to the number of cells they have unicellular (a single cell), multicellular (more than one cell). In organisms that have more than one cell, they divide to produce more cells and form the organs and tissues themselves. Cell division can occur from two processes that are mitosis and meiosis in which two and four cells are produced respectively. According to the above, the correct answer is B. Cells divide and producing more cells.

State how hurricanes are predicted
andrezito [222]
Hurricanes are predicted using a Saffir-Simpson Scale. This scale is used to measure the intensity of hurricane most often than not. However, it may be used to identify a hurricane as well. A hurricane is categorised based on the wind speeds.  

74 - 95 mph --> category 1 
96 -110 mph --> category 2 
111 - 129 mph --> category 3 
130 - 156 mph --> category 4 
157 mph + --> category 5 

Typically, the formation of a hurricane occurs when moist warm air if absorbed from the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean and rises. The moisture will then evaporate further rising and heating until the moist air is twisted and circulation high in the atmosphere.
