Answer:

A) sebaceous glands

Explanation:

Sebaceous glands are responsible for producing and secreting sebum, a substance that can lubricate and waterproof the skin and hair, giving them a brighter appearance.

However, a <u>high</u> <u>production</u> of sebum through these glands can cause exaggerated greasiness in the hair as well as acne on the skin.

Meanwhile, low sebum production can leave the skin dull and dehydrated, causing premature aging, and leaving hair dry and brittle due to lack of lubrication.

Tectonic plates are pieces of the ________ that float on the more fluid ________ below. A. mantle; crust B. asthenosphere; litho
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The answer is E.) Lithosphere, Asthenosphere.

Explanation:

Tectonic plates belong to the layer called Lithosphere. The tectonic plates float on the Asthenosphere which is below the Lithosphere and more fluid than the crust.

From the Earth's surface to the its center we can say that the inside of the Earth is divided into four layers which, starting from the top , are:

i) the crust

ii) the mantle, (Lithosphere, Asthenosphere , Mesosphere)

iii) the outer core

iv) the inner core.

The tectonic plates are part of the Lithosphere and are constantly moving even though the crust is fairly solid. This is because the inner layers

( Asthenosphere , Mesosphere) are much are fluid and are constantly moving which tends to move the tectonic plates. When the tectonic plates collide they do so with tremendous force which leads to earthquakes and sometimes tsunamis as well resulting in a loss of life and property.

When you’re in a cold place in December and you’re planning a vacation for February, are you interested in a location’s weather
Elanso [62]
I think you would be more interested in the location's weather than the climate because if you are wanting to get away from the winter cold for awhile then you would probably plan to go somewhere close to the equator, where it is warmer. A location's weather could be scattered or generally misinterpreted as weather can be random at times.
