Answer:

Due to the earth spherical shape, different latitudes of the planet receive varying solar energy levels from the sun. This is due to the differences in how the sun rays hit the earth surfaces and differences in the length of atmosphere the rays have to travel before they reach the earth's surface.

The equatorial regions get the most energy levels from the sun hence their atmosphere gets heated faster and the hottest. The air mass in this latitude, therefore, gets less fast dense  and begins to rise. The cooler and denser air mass from the poles rushes in, through the  lower atmosphere, to replace the void of the rising air.

When this air mass also gets heated, it too begins to rise. Remember the initial air mass cooled as it rose into the upper atmosphere. This now makes it denser than the air mas below it. As the hotter air mass begins to rise from below it pushes the cooler air mass above laterally. After the lateral movement, the air mass begins to sink slowly as it moves towards the poles because the incoming air mass gets denser than the local air mass.

The lateral movement of the convection current moving to the north is deflected to the north-west due to the Coriolis effect of the earth rotation while the lateral movement of the convection current moving south is deflected to the south-west. These pockets of convection currents are called Hadley cells.

At the cellular level, membranes; for the whole organism, the skin is what
Katen [24]

Answer:

Reproduction.

Explanation:

At the cellular level indicate that the living organisms are made up of the smallest building blocks called cell. It refer to unicellular organisms i.e organism with one cell.

At the cellular level, membranes; for the whole organism, the skin is Reproduction because a single parent cell divides into two cells (offsprings), two divides into four cells and so on. It is called cell division and cell reproduction because a single cell skin divides to produce many cells.

How is modern earth different from earth over 4 billion years ago?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Earth and its atmosphere are continuously altered. Plate tectonics shift the continents, raise mountains and move the ocean floor while processes not fully understood alter the climate. Such constant change has characterized Earth since its beginning some 4 billion years ago.

The per capita ecological footprint is the total ecological footprint for a given country or area
Phantasy [73]

The per capita ecological footprint is the total ecological footprint for a given country or area is false and is therefore denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Ecological footprint?</h3>

This is referred to as the amount of land which is required to ensure that there is adequate use and sustainability of the resources which are present in area at a given period of time.

The per capita ecological footprint is the average ecological footprint for a given country or area and not the total ecological footprint which is therefore the reason why false was chosen as the most appropriate choice.
