<h2>Answer:</h2>

A subduction zone is the zone of earth crust where tectonic plates meet.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>
  • A subduction zone is the zone of the Earth’s crust where tectonic plates meet.
  • Tectonic plates are massive pieces of the Earth’s crust that interact with each other.
  • The places where these plates meet are called plate boundaries.
  • Plate boundaries occur where plates separate, slide alongside each other or collide into each other. Subduction zones happen where plates collide.

Result: Subduction zone is the zone of earth crust where tectonic plates meet.

9. Which structure helps animal cells maintain their shape?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

<em><u>D. Cytoskeleton</u></em>

Explanation:

It is really none of these answers. The correct answer would be a microtubule which is a component of the cytoskeleton which is in the cytoplasm.

The Cell Walls are only in plant cells so that won't work.  So, A wouldn't work.

Chromosomes are the things that both your parents give you as genes. They have nothing to do with keeping the structure of the cell alright.

Cytoplasm cannot be a answer choice because, the thing is in it but, it doesn't do anything with it. So C wouldn't work either

The correct answer is microtubule however, it is a component of cytoskeleton so therefore, that is your answer.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

birds

Explanation:

<em>Archaeopteryx</em> is an iconic fossil bird that lived during the Late Jurassic, approximately 150 million years ago. <em>Archaeopteryx</em> is iconic because it is a transitional fossil between non-avian dinosaurs (reptiles) and birds. The osteology of <em>Archaeopteryx</em> indicates that it was similar to that of nonavian theropod dinosaurs, i.e.,  dinosaurs characterized by hollow bones and three-toed limbs. Unlike modern birds, <em>Archaeopteryx</em> had a full set of teeth, a long tail, three fingers with claws and hyperextensible second toes commonly known as 'killing claws'.
