Answer:

The Great Plains

Explanation:

Hot air has a much lower density than cold air and for this reason, the large plains would be ideal for an industrial city if the goal is to have fewer air pollution incidents related to temperature inversions. This is because if the large plains are lower, soon the hot air will rise while the cold air will tend to go down.

In short, within the great plains the hot air being less dense rises, in contrast, the cold air (more dense) descends, forming the convection currents.

I think that the plains, because the temp. is the same all around, cuz its flat... the mountains get cold at the top

How do frogs utilize extensor and flexor muscles in order to swim, jump, and do other frog things efficiently; include specific
ahrayia [7]
<span>The structure of the feet and legs varies greatly among frog species, depending in part on whether they live primarily on the ground, in water, in trees or in burrows. Frogs must be able to move quickly through their environment to catch prey and escape predators, and numerous adaptations help them to do so. Most frogs are either proficient at jumping or are descended from ancestors that were, with much of the musculoskeletal morphology modified for this purpose. The tibia, fibula, and tarsals have been fused into a single, strong bone, as have the radius and ulna in the fore limbs (which must absorb the impact on landing). The metatarsals have become elongated to add to the leg length and allow the frog to push against the ground for a longer period on take-off. The illium has elongated and formed a mobile joint with the sacrum which, in specialist jumpers such as ranids and hylids, functions as an additional limb joint to further power the leaps. The tail vertebrae have fused into a urostyle which is retracted inside the pelvis. This enables the force to be transferred from the legs to the body during a leap </span>
<span>The muscular system has been similarly modified. The hind limbs of ancestral frogs presumably contained pairs of muscles which would act in opposition (one muscle to flex the knee, a different muscle to extend it), as is seen in most other limbed animals. However, in modern frogs, almost all muscles have been modified to contribute to the action of jumping, with only a few small muscles remaining to bring the limb back to the starting position and maintain posture. The muscles have also been greatly enlarged, with the main leg muscles accounting for over 17% of the total mass of the frog.</span>

A children's liquid medicine contains 100 mg of the active ingredient in 5 mL . If a child should receive 150 mg of the active i
wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is 7.5 ml

Explanation:

The medicine contains 100 mg in 5 ml, that means that the concentration of the active ingredient is 100 mg/5 ml= 20 mg/ml

If we divide a concentration (in mg/ml) into a mass (in mg) we obtaine a volume (in mL). Thus, in order to calculate the mililiters of medicine which contain 150 mg of the active, we have to only divide mass (150 mg) into the concentration of active ingredient as follows:

mL = \frac{150 mg}{20 mg/mL}= 7.5 mL

Describe photosynthesis in as the key process producing new plant biomass.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

Plant biomass will increase as a result of photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy from the Sun. ... Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction as it requires light energy to react carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
