Biology

Bogdan [553]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C. taphrogenic

Explanation:

The plate divergence can be described as a taphrogenic process. The taphrogenic processes are the processes through which gaps occur in the crust, and the crust is moving away from the gap that has opened up. This is exactly how the divergent boundaries form. The strong convection currents of the mantle manage to crack the crust, and the magma manages to penetrate through it and melt it. As the magma reaches the the surface, it starts to come out, propelling itself upward, and as it cools of it creates new crust. The magma continues to come out, and more and more new crust is pilling up, pushing the old crust away from the divergent plate boundary.

Disscus the importance of phytoplankton to the composition of the earth's atmosphere?​
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

Phytoplankton are essential for atmospheric and climate regulation.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are autotrophs, they use solar energy, along with inorganic carbon and water to produce their own food source via photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, they also produce oxygen, integral for the planet's atmospheric composition.

At their large biomass, phytoplankton contribute to a majority of the oxygen used by consumers (most animals).

             6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Along with fossil fuels, human agricultural practices have contributed large amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, This causes global warming, a major environmental crisis- global warming also leads to landmass loss, biosphere disruption and reduces biodiversity in mass extinction events.

Phytoplankton carbon cycling produces organic matter which functions as carbon sinks in our oceans. Thus, as phytoplankton use large amounts of CO2, they help combat warming cycles, along with producing O2 in atmospheric and climate regulation.
