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.

<u>Slab pull</u>: 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.

<u>Volcanic eruption</u>: 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.

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

Consider the following claim: Group behavior can increase the chances for an individual and a species to survive and reproduce.
Alexeev081 [22]

Claim:

Group behavior can increase the chances for an individual and a species to survive and reproduce.

Evidences for the claim:

As the claim suggests that group behavior is favorable for organisms, it increases their chance of survival and reproduction. First of all we have to understand what is group. Group is a collection of same kind of organisms that travel, live as well as perform daily life work together.

  • When organisms are living in a large group they have better chances to find a mate.
  • Living in a group helps the organisms to save them from the attack of predators, because unity is strength.
  • Large groups have more power to access food sources and can find ample source with the assistance of fellow members, than solitary animals.

Additional reputable evidence:

We have often seen the birds that they form a V shape when they fly in air in a group. Now, this group formation in V helps those birds to navigate their pathways in a better way. They have more chances to reach in their destination even if that is far off from their place of departure, because the whole group's navigating ability help to reach a destination faster. They are better able to reproduce, survive there.

Similarly when fish swim in groups, they can avoid the attack of predators and are better able to swim for a longer period of time to reach theri destination.

Conclusion:

Group behavior equips the organisms with protection and support. It better adapts an organism to survive the harsh effects of the environment.

Abiotic Factors + Biotic Factors =
gogolik [260]

Answer:

Examples of abiotic factors are water, air, soil, sunlight, and minerals. Biotic factors are living or once-living organisms in the ecosystem. These are obtained from the biosphere and are capable of reproduction. Examples of biotic factors are animals, birds, plants, fungi, and other similar organisms.

If there was a chain of seven amino acids, how many possibilities are there for different proteins?
Alex17521 [72]
The diversity of proteins is caused by the mRNA codons and DNA. 
DNA has sequences that mRNA finds the pair for (ex. DNA says AGC, RNA says UCG) 
with that, they only come in 3 nucleotide increments. which is a codon 
one you have a codon, it goes thru tRNA to come out with an amino acid and a bunch of amino acids makes a polypeptide or protein 
It all depends on what the DNA's code says to make... 
DNA says AUG, RNA makes that UAC which is the amino acid tyrosine
