The present-day continent of North America was part of Laurasia 200 million years ago.

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The earth's crust is comprised of the lithospheric plate and they are constantly in motion over the viscous layer of asthenosphere due to the generation of convection current in the mantle. It is due to the heat radiated from the interior of the earth.  

These plates were once all together forming a supercontinent named Pangaea. This Pangaea got separated into Laurasia and Gondwanaland.

North America was formed from the separation of the Laurasia about 200 million years back.

This plate motion was proved by some of the evidence put forwarded by Alfred Wegener. The continental drift theory that was modified to Plate tectonic theory was able to explain the mechanism behind this plate motion.

Hence, the correct answer is option (A).

Bond [772]
In humeral fractures, the main nerves in the arm may have been damaged or compressed (by the cast) after manual reduction. The sensory nerve involved in this case is the musculocutaneous nerve which provide sensation in the hands, particularly here in the right hand. Compression by the cast interrupts nerve impulses in the musculocutaneous nerve owing to the loss of sensation and the removal of cast relieves the compression therefore there is regain of sensation.

Do you think it would be possible to construct a pyramid where the number of carnivores was more than the number of herbivores?
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Explanation:

Pyramid is the use of graph to represents the flow of energy in each trophic level. There are five trophic level and each has its own energy level pyramid help to show the energy at each level.

Each energy level must have at least One tenth of the energy level of the organisms before itself, this indicates that the energy in the lower tropic level is higher than the trophic level above.

Hence, carnivores cannot be more than herbivores in a biomass they need enough of herbivores to survive in the biomass as the energy level moves from the herbivores to the carnivores.
