What property of water allows oceans to keep Earth's surface warm and insulated during

Biology
1 answer:
Scrat [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

This is the specific heat capacity

Explanation:

The specific  heat capacity of water is the quantity of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 degree.it is due to the  aggregation of hydrogen bonding  holding water molecules together.

Therefore,large quantity of heat energy is needed to be supplied to raise the temperature of water.

This is an advantage for earth temperature because  a significant rise in the earth temperature,would not  affect the earth because the ocean would have absorbed the heat.Therefore regulating the earth temperature within the narrow limits

However,during summer  little heat is released by the ocean and this cools the earth,this is because the specific heat capacity of the ocean is higher than that of the land,thus as the ocean warms up slowly its warms the earth.

Agricultural lands frequently require nutrient augmentation because
fenix001 [56]

The given is incomplete as the options are missing. The correct options for the given question are as follows-

(A) cultivation of agricultural land inhibits the decomposition of organic matter

(B) nitrogen-fixing bacteria are not as plentiful in agricultural soils because of the use of pesticides

(C) land that is available for agriculture tends to be nutrient-poor

(D) the nutrients that become the biomass of plants are not cycled back to the soil on lands where they are harvested

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

In order to carry out agricultural practices, the soil must be rich in essential nutrients for the growth of crops. The soil fertility is a key role in the production of crops.

This agricultural land often requires a large amount of these nutrients and minerals because some of the nutrient minerals are converted into plant biomass which is then used up to produce energy in other sectors. So, the nutrients that were present in the soil are taken away and not transferred back into the soil. This means that the nutrient cycle gets affected. Due to this reason, there requires a constant supply of nutrients into the agricultural fields.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

Inga [223]

Answer:

Natural Selection

Explanation:

In natural selection process of evolution, traits that are essential for an individual to be fit enough to survive under environmental stress become dominant.

Since the flowers are of blue or yellow color, it is essential for a bee to be able enough to perceive the blue and yellow color. Hence, the eyes of bee with time have evolved to perceive these two color so that they can pollinate flower.

Consider the diagram. mc002-1.jpg Which process is represented? nondisjunction translocation inversion insertion
sladkih [1.3K]

If this is the picture you are talking about, the right answer is non-disjunction

Non-disjunction is the non-separation of homologous chromosomes at the time of cell division which results in the formation of ova or spermatozoa leading to an abnormality in the number of chromosomes of the egg thus fertilized by the spermatozoa.

The fertilized egg consists of either a single chromosome, what is called monosomy, or, conversely, three chromosomes, this is called trisomy. While naturally, the fertilized egg has a single pair of chromosomes.
