Answer:

Lamellated corpuscle

Explanation:

The subcutaneous layer is present beneath the dermis of the skin and contains areolar and adipose tissues. This layer also contains nerve endings that respond to the sensation of pressure.  

These oval-shaped vibration receptors located mainly in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue are called lamellated corpuscles. The lamellated corpuscle consists of concentric layers of a connective tissue that is wrapped around the dendrites of a sensory neuron. Therefore, lamellated corpuscles are the encapsulated nerve endings. The lamellated corpuscle responds to vibrations of high frequency such as that of an electric tool.

write a 5-7 paragraph explaining what you think is happening to the earths co2 levels through the year.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Climate change has been described as one of the biggest problems faced by humankind. Carbon dioxide is is the primary driver of global warming. Prof Joanna Haigh from Imperial College London explains why this gas has played a crucial role in shaping the Earth's climate.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) has been present in the atmosphere since the Earth condensed from a ball of hot gases following its formation from the explosion of a huge star about five billion years ago.

At that time the atmosphere was mainly composed of nitrogen, CO2 and water vapour, which seeped through cracks in the solid surface. A very similar composition emerges from volcanic eruptions today.

As the planet cooled further some of the water vapour condensed out to form oceans and they dissolved a portion of the CO2 but it was still present in the atmosphere in large amounts.
