1. Blood in the gills runs in the opposite direction as the water outside the gill filaments. By running in the direction opposi

te the flow of water, the blood is always exposed to an area of water that has a higher level of oxygen. Oxygen moves across the membranes by diffusion. So if the gill had more oxygen than the water, the fish would lose oxygen to its surroundings. This is an example of:

Answer:

Counter current  system  for oxygen exchange. This  process allow the exchange through diffusion of oxygen from higher concentration of water to lower concentration in the fish blood, from the surface of the  fish lammela,Therefore as  blood flows through the gill capillaries,oxygen at higher diffusion gradient,enters the capillaries, sustained by higher diffsuion rate of Oxygen Counter by opposite blood flow.

The Old Faithful geyser found in Yellowstone Park is an example of _____. a feature resulting from earthquake activity a feature
Monica [59]

The given blank can be filled with a feature resulting from hot volcanic rock.  

The geysers refer to the rare characteristics on Earth, only about 1000 of them prevail, and more than half of those are situated in Yellowstone. For a geyser to develop, there must be a source of volcanic heat, enough groundwater, and a geologic plumbing system via which the heated water can escape.  

The absconding of water takes place when the groundwater is heated by the hot volcanic rocks. The intensifying steam bubbles push the water above via the fissures in the rock until they overflow from the geyser.  

With the absconding of the top layers of the water, the pressure on the hotter waters below diminishes, leading to a violent chain reaction of explosions, which expand the volume of the rising boiling water by up to 1500 times or more.
