Earlier in the body of text this question was provided for, you should be able to find the passages: "No matter where you walk, you are walking on the crust of the earth. You would be on the crust even if you were walking along the bottom of the ocean."  and "The lithosphere is the crust and the uppermost, rigid portion of the mantle. The crust can vary in thickness, and is made of two different types: oceanic crust and continental crust."

<h2>(Answer 1 points 3)</h2><h2>A. Taxon</h2><h3>3. the categories used in classifying organisms.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

In other words, we can also say that taxon is also known as a taxonomic group of any rank, such as a species, family, or class. It is a group of one or more than one different populations of an organism or the organisms viewed by taxonomists to make a system. These are the rules for naming new animals.

<h2>(Answer 2 points 3)</h2><h2>B. Taxonomy</h2><h3>1. the science of the classification of organisms.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

A taxonomy is said to be a scheme of classification or in other words, we can also define the term taxonomy as the branch of science involved with classification, especially of organisms, systematics. Organisms are grouped together. This science of gives name, describe and classify the organisms including all the plants, animals and the microorganisms of the world.

<h2>(Answer 3 points 3)</h2><h2>C. Family</h2><h3>4. A taxonomic category containing a group of similar genera.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

Family is the one that has been classified between order and genus. A family is also divided into the subfamilies. It is one of the eight main and important taxonomic levels. It is a primary taxonomic category of organisms ranking. This category comes on the sixth number of all the categories lies in a taxonomic group.

<h2>(Answer 4 points 3)</h2><h2>D. domain</h2><h3>2. The largest taxonomic category.</h3><h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the three-domain system of taxonomy, if we talk about the domain then we would define it as the superkingdom or empire. It can also be said to be as it is the highest taxonomic rank of organisms.

In general, the land changes temperature much more rapidly than the ocean. How does this fact explain the existence of land bree
Greeley [361]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Land and sea breeze are produced because the land changes temperature rapidly than the ocean. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>The rates of heating up of land and sea are different. Land gets heated up faster than water. Temperature is crucial in determining the density of air. </em>

When land gets heated up the air near the land turns hot and this temperature is greater than the temperature of the air near the water surface. <em>Hotter air has less density than the air which is relatively less warm. Density difference creates pressure difference. </em>

Denser air has higher pressure than less dense air making air move from area of high pressure to area of low pressure. During the day<em> the land is heated up more and thus air move from sea to land and it is called sea breeze. </em>Just like it absorbs heat land releases heat at a faster rate.  

<em>Thus at night land the sea will be warmer than the sea and thus air will move from the land to the sea and it is called land breeze. </em>
