Answer: The earthworm contracts and extends in its movement, but the nematode moves side by side.
Explanation:
NOTE: By mode of location, we mean the way it moves.
The skin of a nematode is very unusual in that it secretes a thick outer cuticle which is both hard and flexible. And this cuticle makes it sustain a side by side mode of location. The closest thing a roundworm has to a skeleton is its cuticle and it uses it as a support and balance point for movement. Long muscles lie just underneath the epidermis and are all aligned longitudinally along the inside of the body, so the nematode can only bend its body from side to side, not contract or extend itself.
Whereas the earthworm extends and contracts as its mode of location.
An earthworm moves by using its two different sets of muscles: circular muscles for looping around each segment, and the longitudinal muscles for running along the length of the body.
The contraction of the circular muscles make the earthworm stretch becoming longer and thinner. The earthworm uses its longitudinal muscles to contract and thus becomes shorter and wider or it bends from one side to the other, pulling the body forward in the process. The earthworm withdraws the front setae and uses its rear setae to anchor itself at the back. Then the earthworm uses its circular muscles to lengthen and push itself forward again.
Answer:
C: Plates float on the liquid mantle located below the crust.
Explanation:
Plates at our planet’s surface move because of the intense heat in the Earth’s core that causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move. It moves in a pattern called a convection cell that forms when warm material rises, cools, and eventually sink down. As the cooled material sinks down, it is warmed and rises again.
Scientists once thought that Earth’s plates just surfed on top of the mantle’s giant convection cells, but now scientists believe that plates help themselves move instead of just surfing along. Just like convection cells, plates have warmer, thinner parts that are more likely to rise, and colder, denser parts that are more likely to sink.
Answer:
f. gneiss is foliated, whereas quartzite is unfoliated
Explanation:
The rock quartzite is a non foliated type of metamorphic rock. This kinds of rock has its formation caused by quartz sandstone getting metamorphic.
Metamorphic rock which are foliates such a s gneiss are formed due to heating in the earth which causes them to be soft even though they remain in the solid state. This occurs during regional metamorphism
In Ecuador, Europeans control most of the the wealth.
