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

Biology

Tanya [424]3 years ago

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.

Which level of biological classification do Mammalia and Hominidae represent, respectively?
cupoosta [38]
The answer is class and family.

<span>Taxonomic groups are used for biological classification. There are eight main taxonomic groups: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus and species, with the domain as the most inclusive and species as the least inclusive. If we take a look on Mammalia and Hominidae classification, we can assume that Mammalia represents class, and Hominidae represents family:</span>

<span>1. Domain: Eukarya</span>

<span>2. Kingdom: Animalia</span>

<span>3. Phylum: Chordata</span>

<span><u>4. Class: Mammalia</u></span>

PLEASE HELP ASAP IN A RUSH!!!!What do osmosis and diffusion have in common? A. Both are the net movement of randomly moving mole
NARA [144]

The right answer is A.

Osmosis is a phenomenon that considers only the exchanges between two liquid solutions of different concentrations in liquid phases separated by a semi-permeable wall. Osmosis is a phenomenon of diffusion of matter, demonstrated when solvent molecules pass through a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions whose solute concentrations are different; the overall transfer of solvent is then from the least concentrated solution (hypotonic medium) to the most concentrated solution (hypertonic medium) to equilibrium (isotonic media).

The diffusion of matter, or chemical diffusion, refers to the natural tendency of a system to render uniform the chemical potential of each of the chemical species it contains.

Chemical diffusion is an irreversible transport phenomenon that tends to homogenize the composition of the medium.
