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.

Barnacles and mussels are filter feeders that attach themselves to rocks in the intertidal zone. A scientist observed a dense co
baherus [9]

The barnacles are only able to attach them selfs to surfaces in the water. Since the surface is limited, barnacles are attaching themselves to the other barnacles, crowding the rock. The muscles were not able to grow or attach themselves off the surface of the rock. Same thing with the mussels that are growing on the rock. So not only barnacles are crowding the rock, but Mussels as well are crowding the rock.

How does natural selection or human evolution affect disease susceptbility
devlian [24]
<span>Investigations of the legacy of natural selection in the human genome have proved particularly informative, pinpointing functionally important regions that have participated in our genetic adaptation to the environment. Furthermore, genetic dissection of the intensity and type of selection acting on human genes can be used to predict involvement in different forms and severities of human diseases.</span>
