Answer:

The Australian Great Dividing Range creates a rain shadow on the country’s eastern coast and interior.

Explanation:

The Great Dividing Range lies in eastern Australia, in the states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. The mountains are built mainly of sandstone, granite and basalt. To the east, they fall steeply towards a narrow strip of coastal lowlands, while to the west they descend gently towards the Central Australian Lowland.

Lush savannas and mainly eucalyptus forests grow on the eastern slopes, while western slopes are dry savannas. This is because the Great Dividing Range acts as a climate barrier between the humid east side of Australia and the dry west side, thus acting as a rain shadow.

The Great Dividing Range has the sources of Australia's largest rivers Murray and Darling. The main ridge is the watershed between the Pacific Ocean catchment in the east and the Indian Ocean catchment and the valley of Lake Eyre in the west (hence the name of the mountains).

The correct answer is B. Cells divide, producing more cells.

Explanation

The cell is the basic unit of life for all living things. Likewise, it is a form of classification for them since living organisms can be classified according to the number of cells they have unicellular (a single cell), multicellular (more than one cell). In organisms that have more than one cell, they divide to produce more cells and form the organs and tissues themselves. Cell division can occur from two processes that are mitosis and meiosis in which two and four cells are produced respectively. According to the above, the correct answer is B. Cells divide and producing more cells.
