Answer:A) Nitrogen

Explanation: nitrogen cycle ensures the movement of nutrients through the biosphere.it ensures that nitrogen is constantly reused and made available.

Nitrogen gas is available in the atmosphere but plants and animals cannot use it in that form.it must be converted to compounds such as ammonia or nitrate.

It is gotten from the atmosphere during rainfalls where it Is broken down and combines with oxygen to from nitrogen peroxide.

Nitrogen can also be fixated into ammonia by saprophytic bacteria.

Also when plants die their body tissues are broken down to form ammonia.ammonia can be oxidized into nitrates and nitrite which plants can use.

Nitrites can be released back into the atmosphere through denitrifying bacteria and the cycle continues.

Hypothesis that states that the continents were once one large mass that broke apart?
Talja [164]

Answer:

Continental drift

Explanation:

Alfred Wagener told about continental drift. He said that continents were a single land mass called Pangaea. They were separated and relocated in the form of different continents. The drifting happens due to the movement of tectonic plates above the magma. As a result, the land mass was broken down into different landforms.  These broken parts were carried slowly and form the continents. The continents are now also moving slowly

Evolution is likely to occur because of I. the potential for a species' population to increase. II. genetic differences in offsp
malfutka [58]
Lll. a limited supply of necessary resources. If there isn't enough resources the species will have to learn to adapt to be able to gather the new food supply they need. Such as birds and there beaks, if the insects population went down and that was the main food supply for that type of bird they would have to be able to adapt in order to survive, so evolution occurs. Over time that bird would change to adapt to its new feeding source.

Hope this helps!
