For both continental and ocean-floor topography, gentler slopes are represented by widely spaced lines while steeper slopes are represented by closely spaced lines.

Explanation:

The contour lines are one of the main, and one of the most used methods on the maps for representing the topography. Basically, the contour lines are closed lines that connect dots on the same elevation. It may sound very simple, but they do provide good insight into the topography, especially if the reader of the map knows how to interpret them well.

The contour lines are used both for continental and ocean-floor topography. The rules are the same for both, including the representation of the slopes. When a slope is gentler, the contour lines are more widely spaced. When a slope is steeper, the contour lines are much more closely spaced.

Some elements of the contour lines or that go with them to give better representation are:

  • black dots (representing a top)
  • thicker lines (every fifth, so that the counting is faster and easier)
  • small lines with given direction (representing cliffs or highly steep slopes)
  • numbers (providing information about elevation)

Biologists sometimes say that “natural selection depends on the specific environment where a species lives.” What does this stat
denis23 [38]

Answer: Natural selection is one of the forces of evolution and the enviroment where the species lives is the selection agent. For example, suppose a mosquitoes population in a environment free from insecticides, in this environment there's a high frequency of non-resistant mosquitoes because the environment is not  exerting any pressure on the resistence trait. But when the environment changes and we use a insecticide upon the mosquitoes population, the populations changes because the non-resistant ones die but those resistant survive and beggin to reproduce more effectively. That's natural selection, differences in survival and reproduction between individuals with different phenotypes (traits) and this differences depend of environmental changes.

At what point do the pulmonary and systemic circulation systems meet up?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer: The Heart

Explanation:

The blood circulatory system (cardiovascular system) delivers nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body. It consists of the heart and the blood vessels running through the entire body. The arteries carry blood away from the heart; the veins carry it back to the heart. The system of blood vessels resembles a tree: The “trunk” – the main artery (aorta) – branches into large arteries, which lead to smaller and smaller vessels. The smallest arteries end in a network of tiny vessels known as the capillary network.

There are two types of blood circulatory system in the human body, which are connected: The systemic circulation provides organs, tissues and cells with blood so that they get oxygen and other vital substances. The pulmonary circulation is where the fresh oxygen we breathe in enters the blood. At the same time, carbon dioxide is released from the blood.

Blood circulation starts when the heart relaxes between two heartbeats: The blood flows from both atria (the upper two chambers of the heart) into the ventricles (the lower two chambers), which then expand. The following phase is called the ejection period, which is when both ventricles pump the blood into the large arteries.

In the systemic circulation, the left ventricle pumps oxygen-rich blood into the main artery (aorta). The blood travels from the main artery to larger and smaller arteries and into the capillary network. There the blood drops off oxygen, nutrients and other important substances and picks up carbon dioxide and waste products. The blood, which is now low in oxygen, is collected in veins and travels to the right atrium and into the right ventricle.

This is where pulmonary circulation begins: The right ventricle pumps low-oxygen blood into the pulmonary artery, which branches off into smaller and smaller arteries and capillaries. The capillaries form a fine network around the pulmonary vesicles (grape-like air sacs at the end of the airways). This is where carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the air inside the pulmonary vesicles, and fresh oxygen enters the bloodstream. When we breathe out, carbon dioxide leaves our body. Oxygen-rich blood travels through the pulmonary veins and the left atrium into the left ventricle. The next heartbeat starts a new cycle of systemic circulation. Below is an attachment of a diagram that explains the connection between pulmonary and systemic circulation from google.
