Name three minerals that are abundant in both oceanic and continental crust

Biology
2 answers:
MatroZZZ [7]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Silicon, Magnesium and Aluminum

Explanation:

    The continental crust is formed essentially of alumina silicates (hence it was formerly called sial) and has an overall composition similar to that of granite. It is 25 to 50 km thick and the primary seismic waves propagate at 5.5 km / s.

   The oceanic crust is composed essentially of basalt, formed by magnesian silicates (hence formerly called sima). It is 5 to 10 km thick and is denser than the continental crust because it contains more iron.

The genetic information in human and chimpanzee DNA shows a high degree of similarity, as humans share about 96-99% of their DNA
EastWind [94]

This similarity can be explained by Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor wherein a number of million years ago, due to adaptation of their environment, human species branched out and eventually evolved into Homo sapiens.

PLEASE HELP. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST. What role do decomposers play in an ecosystem? Be sure to refer to the biogeochemical cycles.
iren2701 [21]
Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.

What binds to the prokaryotic chromosome to start dna replication?
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

DNA Helicase

Explanation:

The process of DNA replication is very complex and requires a variety of proteins in the form of Enzymes.

The DNA replication starts at the site which is about 245 base pairs long and is rich in AT sequences called Origin of replication. The origin of replication recognised by an enzyme called DNA helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds present between the bases and unwinds the DNA. The RNA primase enzymes then synthesizes an RNA primer which gets attached and to which DNA polymerase binds and add nucleotides.

Thus, the first enzyme that binds to the DNA is DNA helicase.

A school’s environmental club wants to reduce the ecological footprint that the student body creates annually. Which step would
Monica [59]

<u>Answer:</u>

Composting food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste would have the greatest impact in reducing the school’s ecological footprint.

Option: (C)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Reducing the ecological footprint means bringing about some changes in lifestyle and living to improve the biocapacity.
  • Compositing food scraps in the cafeteria to reduce landfill waste is the best option that the environmental club can apply to reduce the school's ecological footprint.
  • This step can help to increase productivity of soil as well as reduce waste in landfill site.
  • The option of incineration of trash causes air pollution. Likewise, reducing recycling bins will not be helpful in decreasing the ecological footprint.
  • Instead, it causes the unmanaged collection of trash in school environment.
