The Importance of Freshwater Ecosystems. Water ecosystems, specifically freshwater ecosystems, are some of the most important resources in the replenishment and purification of water sources used by humans. ... One of the main functions of wetlands is to remove metals and sediments that make their way into water.
Answer:
Spinous process
Explanation:
The rhomboideus minor muscle originates on the <u>spinous processes</u> of vertebrae T2-T5
The rhomboideus minor muscle forms part of the superficial group of back muscles. The muscles in the superficial group are immediately deep to the skin and superficial fascia. They attach the superior part of the appendicular skeleton (clavicle, scapula, and humerus) to the axial skeleton (skull, ribs, and vertebral column).
These muscles are sometimes referred to as the appendicular group, since they are primarily involved with movements of part of the appendicular skeleton.
The rhomboideus minor is located deep to the trapezius in the superior part of the back. It inserts on the medial border of the scapula, is innervated by the dorsal scapular nerve its function is to adduct and elevate the scapula.
Answer:
Option 1, 2, 5
Explanation:
Options for the question
- car a and car b are both moving toward the origin.
- car a and car b are moving in opposite directions.
- car a is moving faster than car b.
- car a and car b started at the same location.
- car a and car b pass each other at the crossover point on the graph. time (s)
Solution -
The motion of any object is represented by position-time In such graphs the position of an object is fixed for any starting point on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
The slope of such curves determine the velocity of the object at all its position within the graph. The steeper the slope is, the faster the the object is moving.
Hence, the following statements are correct
Option 1, 2, 5
<span>A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
There are three types of weathering, physical, chemical, and biological.
For the physical weathering, there are two main types. Freeze-thaw cycles and exfoliation. Obviously the freeze-thaw cycles require water and the exfoliation generally happens through thermal expansion and contraction which doesn't require water. But since neither of these mechanisms were observed, that doesn't indicate if the area was wet or dry. Biological weathering is caused by plants or animals breaking down rocks via chemical (acid) or mechanical (root growth) means. Life generally indicates the presence of water, but since this form of weathering wasn't observed, we still don't have enough data. Chemical weathering is caused by rain water reacting with the rocks to form new minerals and salts. There are several types such as acidic rainwater dissolving part of the rock, and oxidation. With this in mind, let's take a look at the available options.
A moist environment because there is a greater density of oxygen in the atmosphere in the presence of water.
* Yes, we need a moist environment, but the density of oxygen is fairly constant world wide regardless of how moist or dry the environment is. So this is a bad choice.
A moist environment because physical weathering processes such as oxidation take place most quickly in the presence of water.
* Water speeds up chemical weathering of all types. So this is the correct choice.
A dry environment because the increased albedo of deserts encourages physical weathering processes such as oxidation.
* Yes, the increased albedo of deserts does speed up spalling, but oxidation is a CHEMICAL weathering process, not a PHYSICAL one. So this is a bad choice.
A dry environment because in the absence of water oxidation is the dominant weathering process.
* Water speeds up oxidation quite a bit. And since the observed oxidation is thick, there's been quite a bit of weathering. So this is a bad choice.</span>
Answer:
Carrying capacity for the jellyfish would reduce
Explanation:
Carrying capacity of a biological population in an ecosystem is the maximum number of population size the environment or habitat can conveniently cater for given the available resources such as, food, water supply, space etc.
The survival of the jelly fish largely in the small body of water would be largely dependent on how much food that is available.
The large number of mollusks harvested would reduce the available food in the small body of water, hence, reducing the carrying capacity for jellyfish.
