Answer:

Hawaii  islands are not formed at tectonic boundaries, but rather at a hotspot. This is a place where hot magma, from deep in the mantle rises to the surface, and through the crust, as the Pacific tectonic plate moves towards the northwest. This magma is very hot because it rises directly from the bottom layers that are hotter than upper mantle. This hotspot is at the boundary of two convection currents in the mantle. The hotspot’s magma pierces through the crust and erupts into a volcanic mountain. The hotspot is more or less stagnant, but in comparison, the tectonic plate above it is moving. Therefore, over time, there will a chain of the mountain as the plate moves over the hotspot.

How do sulfur and phosphorus move from the biotic to the abiotic pools during their cycles? A) Primary consumers eat producers.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:D) Decomposers break down the remains of producers and consumers

Explanation:A biotic pool is a tidal pool with diverse and changing habitats of living factors. We can say they are important mini ecosystems within the larger ecosystem.

The abiotic pool involves the elemental phases of nature,the non living parts of the ecosystem. Decomposition (break down) of elements/organic compounds is the characteristic bridge between both pools into what is known as nutrients.

This tell us that the ultimate dead part of producers and consumers are used up in this process.

Some of the nutrients released in the biogeochemical cyclic process includes sulfur and phosphorus and they move through the ecosystem.

Note: The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway of movement for chemical elements.

The chemical elements in nature moves through both biotic and abiotic components via abiotic and biotic interaction in the ecosystem

Few abiotic factors includes rocks, air, water, and chemicals while biotic factors includes living organisms activities.

All living and non living elements of nature play vital roles in the great biogeochemical cycle.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

(d) None of the above

Explanation:

The pH of your stomach must be highly acidic, because the optimum pH for pepsin, the chief stomach enzyme, is 1.5.

(a) and (b) are wrong, because both conditions are basic.

(c) is wrong, because pH 7 is neutral.

Design an experiment that answers this question: "how is stomach acid neutralized in the small intestine?"
Lelechka [254]
The stomach normally secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process and this helps in the breaking down of food during digestion. Acidity is responsible for ulcer, dyspepsia, heartburn and the formulation of the ulcer. One way to experiment on how the acid is neutralized is by using vinegar and starch.
