The hotspots are regions, where the plumes of magma are present just below the lithosphere. The plume of the magma is the particles of the volcano and the gases, which is erupted during the volcanic eruption. It is generated by the fragmentation of the magma. Once, it reaches the lithosphere, it get spreaded laterally.

The plumes at the hotspots are present just below the tectonic plates, a high temperature r heat and the low pressure causes the rocks present in the lithosphere to melt resulting in volcanic eruption. At hotspot, the melting of rock takes time, sometimes it is very slow, due to the presence of various tectonic plates. Hence, the plumes can remain stationary for a very long period of time without erupting.

So, the first blank can be filled with Lithosphere and the second blank can be filled with Stationary.

Briefly explain how producers, herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, and scavengers are related in an environment.
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Producers are very important to ecosystem reason being without the producers we would not be able to survive. Producers make their own food by use of sun which turns simple raw materials into food.
 Herbivores are consumers who eat only green plants. Omnivores eat animals and plants. Scavengers only eat dead organisms. Scavengers help the environment in that they eat dead organisms and decomposes the broken organic material down to the raw material.

What would happen to the size of the carnivore population if the herbivore population increased?
Korvikt [17]
<span>The correct answer should be that the carnivore population would also increase. Since they eat the herbivores, if the amount of herbivores increased there would be more food for the carnivores so they wouldn't have to worry about anything and could thrive, feeding themselves without worrying for food.</span>

The cilia lining the upper respiratory passages (superior to the larynx) beat inferiorly, whereas as the cilia lining the lower
Anton [14]

Answer:

The cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus  down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the  lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.

Explanation:

Through the internal nares, the air enters nasopharynx from the nasal cavity. This air has dust-laden mucus. The nasopharynx is lined with ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium. These cilia move the mucus down toward the most inferior part of the pharynx. The lining of the larynx inferior to the vocal folds is made up of ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium and have ciliated columnar cells, goblet cells, and basal cells.

The goblet cells serve to produce and secrete mucus. The mucus from goblet cells helps trap dust that was not removed in the upper passages. Therefore, the cilia in the upper respiratory tract move mucus and trapped particles down toward the pharynx whereas the cilia in the lower respiratory tract move them up toward the pharynx.

lesya [120]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

The eco-system consists of various type of organisms in tge ecosystem. The all type of organism as producer, decomposer, consumers live in ecosystem.

Three adaptations of organism are:

  • By losing and gaining of organs: Some of the animals lose their organs to survive in some places like yak have more hair to survive in cold places.
  • By changing the colour of body: Some animals such as grasshopper changes their colour to survive in places.
  • By modification of organs: some animals modify their organs to survive such as legs and beak of ducks are modified to survive in swim and search foods.

The importance of adaptation are:

  • It helps organism to live a longer life.
  • The adaptation helps to make an organism fittest to any environment.
  • The adaptation helps an organism to search foods and live their life.
