Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis has to do with the synthesis of sugar molecules from inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide. Respiration on the other hand has to do with breaking down of the sugar molecule from photosynthesis to release the energy locked up in the sugar for various metabolic processes in the plant's body.

<em>If both processes are balanced, there will be no net sugar production. Hence, if an excess of sugar produced fossil fuels, it thus means that there was net production of sugar in the past. The rate of photosynthesis was more than the rate of respiration in the past.</em>

Describe how a volcano would form along a divergent boundary convergent boundary and hotspot
daser333 [38]
For divergent boundary: when the crust of the earth fractures it allows magma to reach the surface. For convergent boundary: When one of the converging plates move underneath the other, a process also known as subduction; the new magma rises and can erupt to form volcanos. For the Hotspot: magma pushes through cracks in the crust to form volcanos. Hope this helps!!
