A temperature inversion is a thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal convective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.

What activity led to the formation of Grand Canyon
Dahasolnce [82]
Weathering and erosion played a big role in forming the grand canyon. The rock was being weathered, most likely mechanical weathering, and then it eroded away. Think of a pebble that is in running water. When you pick it up, it is smooth, right. But before, it was pointy. So, the grand canyon was once a big rock, and weathering broke through it making it one of the wonders of the USA.

Brine shrimp live in salt water, but the level of salt in the water where they reside can differ dramatically from day to day or
Naily [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is "excretes; hypotonic; absorbs, hypertonic".

Explanation:

Cell's homeostasis is only conserved in an isotonic solution, since cells that are in an hypertonic solution (high salt concentration) tend to loss water, and in hypotonic solution (low salt concentration) tend to absorb water. Brine shrimp lives in waters that are both, hypertonic and hypotonic and has adapted to overcome this issue by excreting and absorbing salt across its gills. In very high salt concentrations, a brine shrimp "excretes" salt across its gills and maintains an internal salt concentration that is "hypotonic" relative to the water where it lives. In lower salt concentrations, a brine shrimp "absorbs" salt water across its gills and maintains an internal salt concentration that is "hypertonic" relative to the water where it lives.
