Answer:

Basalt cools to form a new crust near the mid-ocean rift

Explanation:

lava can erupt into water, when it cools it can create new land which is called sea floor spreading.

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

The seafloor spreading refers to the separation or stretching of the seafloor. It leads to the expansion of the ocean basin and it primarily occurs due to the divergent plate motion, where two plates move in the opposite direction.

In a divergent plate motion, the two plates move apart and the new materials are added to the crust along the Mid-Oceanic ridge (MOR), where the hot magma comes out to the seafloor and solidifies, forming basalt.

The rocks that are present along the Mid-Oceanic ridge are the youngest rocks and the age of the rocks gradually decreases as one moves away from this ridge.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

A what can be the intermediate stage of speciation?
mart [117]
Speciation can be difficult to observe in  nature, but the it is hypothesized that the following occurs in a allopatric speciation's intermediate stage:

(1) closely related species are differentiated through geographic variation (2) then there's reduced fertility in one a geographic race of the species (3) and in the geographic race of subspecies that are to become species.

Match the following items. 1. insertion inner, light-sensitive layer of the eye 2. sympathetic system point where a muscle is at
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1. Inner, light-sensitive layer of the eye. Retina

2. Point where a muscle is attached to the more movable part. Insertion

3. Outer, fibrous layer of the eye. Sclera  

4. Translates sound vibrations into nervous impulse. Cochlea

5. Prepares the body for activity. Sympathetic system

6. Sense of balance. Semicircular canals

7. Coordinates our muscular movements. Cerebellum

8. Point where the muscle is attached to the less movable bone. Origin

9. Active when the body is resting. Parasympathetic system

10. In the brain stem, controls the activity of internal organs. Medulla oblongata

Explanation:

  • The retina is the internal layer of the eye. It receives the light from the exterior and transforms these stimuli into nervous stimuli, which travels to the brain to give an image.
  • The sclera is the outer layer of the eye. It protects the eye and keeps the eye's shape.
  • A muscle has an origin and an insertion. The first one is the part attached to the less movable bone and the second one to the more movable part. These two parts can be in different bones. When the muscle contracts, the bone attached to the insertion moves towards the origin of the muscle.
  • The cochlea and the semicircular canals are in the inner ear. The cochlea is the organ responsible for transforming the sound's vibrations into nerve impulses that will travel to the brain so that we can hear. In its interior, there are cells that have hairs, which move with the vibrations and transmit this message to the nervous system.

The semicircular canals are three and with liquid that moves as we move. The movement of this liquid moves hair cells that are in the canals. These hair cells inform our brain about our location in space and give us a sense of valance.

  • The cerebellum is part of the central nervous system. It involves the coordination of movements, learning new movements, and controlling them.
  • The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are part of the autonomic nervous system. The first one prepares our body for an emergency or an activity. It is the one that increases our respiratory frequency, our heart rate, dilates our pupils, makes us more alert, amongst other things. On the other hand, the parasympathetic system relaxes our body, slowing our heart rate, is involved in the digestion and the relaxation of our muscles. It activates, for example, after we eat.
  • The medulla oblongata is part of the brainstem. It controls involuntary actions such as heart rate, respiration, and vasoconstriction. As it controls these functions, it affects internal organs like the heart, lungs, arteries, etc.

iris [78.8K]

Sociologists argue that the division of the human population into two distinctive and  mutually exclusive categories, male and female, is best understood as a biological fact.

The division into these two major categories as male or female is mainly due to the biological and the physiological characteristics produced in both male and female.

Although in some cases, it may be argued that they are not mutually exclusive as there are some who have both.

Nevertheless, the above mentioned characteristics are just used to differentiate between a male and a female in humans and as well an individual self-concept of being a male or a female.
