B. Both continental and ocean-floor topography are measured relative to sea level

Explanation:

On a topographic map, both continental and ocean-floor topography are measured relative to sea level.

The sea level is the reference surface for the continental and ocean floor topography.

  • A topographic map is a map that shows landform using series of contour lines.
  • The lines joins places of equal elevation.
  • The elevation is usually referenced to the sea level surface.
  • The sea level is taken as the surface with 0 depth or height.
  • Continental topography is all places above the sea level.
  • Ocean floor is below the sea level surface

What is water preservation and why do we need it?
Vadim26 [7]
We cannot live without water. Saving water helps to preserve our environment. It reduces the energy required to process and deliver water, which helps in reducing pollution and in conserving fuel resources. Saving water now means having water available in the future for recreational purposes, too.

<span>Fresh, clean water is a limited resource. While most of the planet is covered in water, it is salt water that can only be consumed by humans and other species after undergoing desalination, which is an expensive process.

You are at the aquarium looking at a freshwater mammal tank and a manatee swims close to the glass. On his front flippers you se
SashulF [63]

The fingernails on the manatee are homologous structures.

Explanation:

The manatee is an animal that lives in the water, but it is not an animal that is related to the fish, instead it is a mammal. When the term mammal is mentioned, people often think of terrestrial animals, but some of the mammals are not living in the water, and have lot of characteristics that are very similar to the other marine animals. Mammals that live in water are:

  • manatee
  • whales
  • seals
  • walrus

Some of these mammals, like the manatee, actually have fingernails, which is very weird considering that they are of no use. The fingernails are actually homologous structures, or rather structures that have been kept from their ancestors, and can be found at many other animals with which they share common ancestor. While the ancestors of the manatee were terrestrial mammals, over time they totally transformed as they were using the water more and more, but the fingernails remained, with the main reason for that being that they are not disadvantageous, so there is no evolutionary pressure for the animal to lose them.

Why is it that the average pay is higher in some parts of the UK than other?
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Bigger cities have more opportunities, have a more developed public sector that pays more and have more frequent economic activity.

Explanation:

  • <u>Difference between public and private sectors</u> – some regions have a stronger public sector and a bigger need for it, and the wages in the private sector are generally lower. The recession affected the private sector very much in 2008, and also the skills and occupations needed are not the same. <u>The cities and towns which have more need for public sector employees tend to generally have higher average pay.</u>
  • <u>Economic activity </u>– the large cities, like London, have higher economic activity and processes. The network that a person in the city creates is wider than people in rural areas,<u> which means the individual spends more and earns more to cover the expenses.</u>
  • <u>Companies and investors are more attracted to bigger cities </u>– the investors are likely to place money and start the business in London than smaller towns, and therefore will create more job opportunities and economic processes. <u>High-paying companies will first look into the prospects of starting a company in an area that is populated and has more economic activity.</u>
