The central nervous system is better protected than any other system or organ in the body. Its main line of defense is the bones of the skull and spinal column, which create a hard physical barrier to injury. A fluid-filled space below the bones, called the syrnix, provides shock absorbance.

Unfortunately, this protection can be a double-edged sword. When an injury to the central nervous system occurs, the soft tissue of the brain and spinal cord swells, causing pressure because of the confined space. The swelling makes the injury worse unless it is rapidly relieved. Fractured bones can lead to further damage and the possibility of infection.

In which Colorado Rockies scenario was there more erosion? Why was there more erosion in the scenario?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

There was more erosion in the Colorado Rockies scenario where there was steady rain compared to the scenario in the same area where there was only a drizzle. There is more erosion because the steady rain increased the volume of the river more than the drizzle did. Because there was more water added to the river, the river flowed faster. The faster a river flows, the more sediments it transports or erodes.

Ecosystems maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients obtained from external sources. At the first trophic level<span>, </span>primary producers<span> (plants, algae, and some bacteria) use solar energy to produce organic plant material through photosynthesis. Herbivores—animals that feed solely on plants—make up the second trophic level. Predators that eat herbivores comprise the third trophic level; if larger predators are present, they represent still higher trophic levels. Organisms that feed at several trophic levels (for example, grizzly bears that eat berries and salmon) are classified at the highest of the trophic levels at which they feed. Decomposers, which include bacteria, fungi, molds, worms, and insects, break down wastes and dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil
