How does the distribution of the world's major coal reserves support the theory of plate tectonics?(1 point)

B) Around 300 million years ago, the regions where coal formed were located in tropical climates that were partially submerged on the coasts

Explanation:

The distribution of the world's major coal reserves supports the the theory of plate tectonics because the regions where they formed were in tropical climates around 300 million years ago.

Coal is a fossil fuel used to produce energy when burnt.

They are formed in tropical swamps where there is luxuriant plants life.

To form a coal, a terrain such as swamp must have rich plant life. The plant is rapidly buried and cut off from the oxic environment. Further burial under heat and pressure transforms the plant matter into coal.

  • The major reserves of coal in the world today is found in Europe and North America
  • These are temperate regions whose conditions do not favor the formation of coal.
  • Those regions must have moved from around the equator to their present day position.
  • The coal formed when they were much closer to the equator around 300 million years ago.

What is the life cycle of a parasite in stages ?<br> Please help me thank you
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Parasitism is a close relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life. Explanation: The entomologist E. O. Wilson has characterised parasites as "predators that eat prey in units of less than one". Parasites include single-celled protozoans such as the agents of malaria, sleeping sickness, and amoebic dysentery; animals such as hookworms, lice, mosquitoes, and vampire bats; fungi such as honey fungus and the agents of ringworm; and plants such as mistletoe, dodder, and the broomrapes. There are six major parasitic strategies of exploitation of animal hosts, namely parasitic castration, directly transmitted parasitism, trophically transmitted parasitism, vector-transmitted parasitism, parasitoidism, and micropredation.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: C. Microevolution is small scale change to the gene pool of a population while macroevolution is larger scale changes that lead to speciation.

Explanation:

Microevolution can be defined as a small change in the gene frequency within a gene pool of the species, these changes will be inherited by the organisms and there will not be any drastic change at the species level. But in case of macroevolution the large scale change occurs at the genetic level, which retain for long. This leads to development of new organisms or results in speciation.
