Answer:

slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction

Explanation:

To understand better, let's consider an example. Make small pieces of paper and put them in a bowl containing water. Then heat the bowl. After sometime, you will see that the pieces are moving. This is because of same phenomenon (convection currents) forming inside the bowl of water. The water will warm move upward whereas colder water will come to its place. Convection currents in Earth are formed due to high temperature of magma (molten rock material) that rises up and colder magma takes its position.

This process results in slab push, volcanic eruptions, and subduction.

Slab pull: Slab pull is the force exerted by plates during subduction. Subduction is a process when a denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate. Thus slab pull is also caused by convenction currents.

Volcanic eruption: During subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate until it reaches magma. There, the lithosphere destroyes. On a weaker lithosphere zone, the magma moves upward and break the crust thus leading to volcanic eruptions.

Subduction: As mentioned above, during subduction, denser plate moves beneath the less denser plate which is driven by convectin currents.

Se efectúa un experimento en el que a la planta 1 se le suministra CO2 normal pero agua que contiene átomos de oxígeno radiactiv

algol [13]

Answer:

The Oxygen liberated in photosynthesis comes from photolysis of water.

The CHO formed from Calvin Cycle during photosynthesis comes from reduction of CO2 with H+ of photolysis of water.

Therefore,since Plant 1 contains labeled Oxygen(from water) it will give radioactive Oxygen as the byproduct of its photosynthesis. It CHO is normal.

However,Plant 2, will contain radioactive CHO,because its radioactive CO2 will be reduced by H+ from photolysis of water to form radioactive labeled carbohydrate(CHO)

elixir [45]

Answer:

(Bone deposition),

(Bone resorption),

Remodeling

Periosteal ,

Nedosteal,

The compact bone,

Spongy bone.

Explanation:

The constant, dynamic process of continual addition of new bone tissue (bone deposition) and removal of old bone tissue (bone resorption) is a process called bone remodeling. This ongoing process occurs at both the periosteal (outer) and nedosteal (inner) surfaces of a bone.

It is estimated that about nedosteal of the adult human skeleton is replaced yearly. This process does not occur at the same rate everywhere in the skeleton. For example, the compact bone in our skeleton is replaced at a slower rate than the spongy bone.

Which action would most likely increase the greenhouse effect?

natta225 [31]

Answer:

D. Burn more oil for heating homes

Explanation:

Encouraging people to conserve power would help weaken the greenhouse effect, not increase it. Stopping cutting down the trees in the Amazon forest would also heavily help weaken the greenhouse and not increase it. And unlike the others, using more nuclear power plants wont affect the greenhouse atfect but instead affect our air quality. Our problem is that burning coal, oil, and gas produces carbon dioxide, which adds to the supply already in the atmosphere, increasing the greenhouse effect and thereby increasing the temperature of the Earth so therefore its D.

Archaea and eubacteria were found to be most different because____

tatyana61 [14]

I disagree with the current answer. I believe the answer is the one you have selected. This is because the three domains of life are separated into 3 categories, bacteria, archeabacteria, and eukaryotes. Archeabacteria are prokaryotic, and possess no true nucleus.
