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.

Explain what nuclear, or atomic, process most likely results in geothermal energy. Also state why this nuclear energy will last
ELEN [110]

Explanation:

Nuclear energy does not produce electricity on its own. The nuclear energy it produces is used to heat water . The hot water then turns to steam that is used to turn dynamo turbines. This is thermal energy turned to mechanical energy.  The dynamo turbines turn the mechanical energy into electric energy.

Nuclear energy lasts longer because the same volume as compared to fossil fuels produced a larger magnitude of energy, million of magnitudes larger. Therefore with the controlled release of this enormous energy, nuclear energy can last much longer than fossil fuels.

2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.

3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.

4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.

5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.

6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.

8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.
