Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Continental crust are the thick plates that are about 35-40 km in thickness on an average. They are rich in silicate rocks, and are very old forming land mass on earth.

Whereas, oceanic crust are thin crust that are about 5-7 km in thickness, and are not old like the continental crust and the rocks are mostly basaltic.

Both the continental as well as oceanic crust moves from one place to another due to the plate tectonic movement.

<u>The rocks in the oceanic and continental crust differs from one another. </u>The rocks in the <em>continental crust are made up of silica-rich rocks</em> such as granite, rhyolite. Whereas, the<em> oceanic crust are dominantly comprised of silica-deficit rocks</em> like gabbro and basalt.

Thus, the correct ans is option (D).

Which of the following apply to gymnosperm seeds EXCEPT:_______. a) enveloped by sporophyte tissues upon maturation. b) containe
Bess [88]

Answer:

Fully enclosed in an ovary

Explanation:

A gymnosperm is a group of a plant which can be distinguished from other groups of a plant is through the presence of seeds but they are not enclosed and are naked.

The seeds are considered naked as they are not fully enclosed in the ovary like in the angiosperms rather they are present as on modified leaves called sporophylls and the cones.

The seeds are sheltered by the sporophyll and when they mature are enclosed by the sporophytic tissues. Since they are not enclosed in the ovary, therefore, are considered the gymnosperms.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

ANSWER ASAP: Dead zones are caused largely by the input of agricultural fertilizers that stimulate phytoplankton blooms, which d
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Less oxygen dissolved in the water is often referred to as a “dead zone” because most marine life either dies, or, if they are mobile such as fish, leave the area. Habitats that would normally be teeming with life become, essentially, biological deserts.

Hypoxic zones can occur naturally, but scientists are concerned about the areas created or enhanced by human activity. There are many physical, chemical, and biological factors that combine to create dead zones, but nutrient pollution is the primary cause of those zones created by humans. Excess nutrients that run off land or are piped as wastewater into rivers and coasts can stimulate an overgrowth of algae, which then sinks and decomposes in the water. The decomposition process consumes oxygen and depletes the supply available to healthy marine life.

Dead zones occur in coastal areas around the nation and in the Great Lakes — no part of the country or the world is immune. The second largest dead zone in the world is located in the U.S., in the northern Gulf of Mexico.
