Intermediate magma is also known as andesitic magmas and these are created when an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate. The magma is generated in the wedge of mantle rock beneath the crust. The Cascade Mountain Range is formed due to the subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the North American Plate.
Answer:
All are true of the movement of Earth's atmosphere except :
d. Warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface.
Explanation:
- When gases heat up, their volume increases and density decrease.
- A decrease in density causes a substance to become lighter.
- Thus, when air warms up due to heat from the sun its density decreases and it gets lighter.
- So, it will move up.
- The Cooler air in turn is denser and heavier so it will sink towards the Earth's surface.
- Hence, the statement d , which states that 'warm air is less dense than cool air so in tends to sink towards the Earth's Surface' is FALSE.
Lancelet is a chordate but not a vertebrate because it lacks a backbone
Explanation:
The subphyla of the phylum Chordata are - Vertebrata, Urochordata and cephalochordate
Those chordates with a structural backbone belong to Vertebrata.
Urochordates and cephalochordates lack a backbone and hence are termed invertebrate chordates.
Lancelet is an invertebrate chordate of the subphylum – Cephalochordata.
The lancelets consist of a notochord that extends right from the head till the tail at the dorsal surface. The notochord acts like the backbone and provides support and a semi-flexible structure to aid in the movement of the organism.
They lack a developed nervous system like vertebrates but only has a dorsal nerve tube
.
The connection between them is Vitamin D.
Vitamin D can be obtained from food and supplements, or synthesized by our bodies when we receive UV radiation in our skin, which is our major source. However, this vitamin comes <span>inactivated</span> and the only way to activate it is through enzymatic conversion (hydroxylation) in the liver and later in the kidneys.
This vitamin is necessary in the intestines because allows calcium and phosphorus to be observed, leading to normal growth and development of bones and teeth. Without enough vit D, bones become fragile, causing osteoporosis.
