Answer:
The answers would be likely be to a.) improve the environment and b.) cut costs.
<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>
The correct answer is B. Meet current and future resource needs.
Explanation:
Sustainability implies an equilibrium between the natural resources available and the resources humanity requires. This equilibrium is reached when the natural resources extracted from nature are enough to satisfy human needs without depleting the resources or causing these are not available in the future. In this context, the goal of sustainable development is to make sure now and in the future resource needs are meet (option B). Moreover, this is possible through actions such as recycling, reducing deforestation, creating environment-friendly technologies, among others that reduce the depletion of resources or preserve the environment.
Parenchyma is the answer because whereas the other two, xylem and phloem are vascular tissues, parenchyma is a packing tissue.
A bacterial infection of the periodontium that causes rapid attatchment loss and poor response to periodontal therapy has a grade of Aggressive periodontal disease
<h3>Periodontium </h3>
The cementum, gingiva, periodontal ligament (PDL), and alveolar bone make up the complex structure known as the periodontium. The periodontium's main purposes are to protect the underlying structures of the tooth from the oral microflora and to enable the tooth to connect to the bone.
An orthokeratinized or parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium makes up the gingival epithelium. The gingiva, which has connective tissue and epithelial components, covers the supracrestal root surface and the alveolar bone. As it lines the gingival sulcus close to the tooth surface (enamel or cementum) and subsequently joins to it with hemidesmosomes, the gingival (oral) epithelium develops into the sulcular epithelium and junctional epithelium.
