Answer:
Snow falls on a glacier and is gradually compacted into ice over many years.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because it directly related to the phenomenon of transferring water from the atmosphere to the cryosphere. The cryosphere is the frozen part of Earth that mainly represent Antarctica and the Arctic. Therefore, snow falling on the glacier and continuous compacting over the years represent the transferring of water from the atmosphere to the cryosphere.
One the other hand, A, B, and C are incorrect options. A describes a phenomenon in which atmospheric water restore groundwater storage via seepage. B represents a situation where frozen water (cryosphere) melts and form surface water (oceanic water.) C is a condition where evaporation causes drying of a river resulting in drought.
The possible benefits of genetic engineering include: More nutritious food. Tastier food. Disease- and drought-resistant plants that require fewer environmental resources (such as water and fertilizer)
Common sense would say adulthood, but I would go ahead and say 5 feet
It is important to check sugar levels to prevent them rising above or below acceptable levels which would lead to a diabetic comma in either case.
In a diabetic person, regulation of sugar in the blood is impaired due to lack of enough insulin in the body. In some people, there is not even a little insulin being produced. This is usually due to a defective pancreas, the organ responsible for insulin production.
Insulin is a hormone that induces a rapid uptake of glucose into muscle and fat tissue. In Diabetes mellitus, lack of enough insulin or resistance to insulin cause sugar levels in the blood to rise and once they reach in excess of 28 mmol/l the danger of going into a diabetic comma becomes a reality.
In Diabetes insipidus, lack of the hormone vasopressin leads to low sugar levels in the blood and if not checked, lapsing into a comma may occur when sugar levels sink below 2 mmol/l.
Therefore regular checks of blood sugar levels in diabetic people is critical.
