The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis.This allows only certain particles to go through including water and leaving behind the solutes including salt and other contaminants. In the process of reverse osmosis, thin film composite membranes (TFC or TFM) are used.

The zika virus was first identified in Uganda in 1947. The virus is transmitted from person to person by a bite from a mosquito.
UNO [17]

Answer:

1. It is a highly contagious disease transmitted from person to person and thereby it is expected that infected persons carried the virus to America  

2. Microcephaly is a serious birth defect where a baby’s head is much smaller than expected.

3. Occipital bone. CNS malformations: ventriculomegaly, parenchymal and periventricular calcifications and cortical migration anomalies

Explanation:

The Zika virus (Flaviviridae) causes a contagious disease and it is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which are also the main vectors of the dengue virus. Microcephaly is a condition where the baby’s brain has not developed properly during pregnancy, and it has been shown that this birth defect is associated with the Zika virus. During 2015 in Brazil, the incidence of infants with microcephaly born from mothers that contracted this disease during pregnancy was higher, thereby suggesting an association between both conditions. Baby health problems associated with Zika infection include microcephaly (skull partially collapsed), joints with limited motion, etc.

The magnetic particles in seafloor ridges are aligned differently in a repeating pattern. How
Mademuasel [1]

A. Earth's magnetic field reverses over time;  the changes show that seafloor spreading  has taken place over time.

Explanation:

The pattern of the magnetic minerals in seafloor ridges are aligned in a repeating pattern because the earth's magnetic field reverses overtime.

This provides evidence because the changes shows that the sea floor spreading has taken place over time.

  • The concept of sea floor spreading was first suggested by Harry Hess in the early 1960's.
  • Using sophisticated tools, he was able to discover stripe patterns of magnetic minerals in rocks.
  • The earth can be likened to a giant bar magnet
  • The geomagnetic field originates from the core where the movement of molten metals induces magnetism.
  • In a fresh cooling magma, the metallic minerals are able to align their domains with the prevailing magnetic field.
  • At some point the magnetic field is normal with a very strong intensity. At other times the intensity is low and it reverses.
  • The minerals keeps track of the changes.
  • This leads to striped pattern that has been used to suggest sea floor spreading.
