Since 2000, melting ice from the continent totaled enough to raise sea levels globally by about four tenths of an inch, according to the report which relied on the work of 90 scientists. With what’s already baked into the atmosphere, faster melting land ice will likely add between 7.5 and 9.8 inches to earlier U.N. estimates by 2100, the report said. And because of its position downstream, in an area of “preferential excitement,” South Florida could experience rise at the high end as water sloshes around the planet, Kirtman said. “Think of it as pushing down the ocean [in Greenland]. The ocean is fluid, so it’s going to respond somewhere else and that somewhere else is down here,” he said. In South Florida, planners already confronting flooding from sea rise have been more aggressive in assessing sea rise.

What benefit would an improved muscle tone from strengthening the quadriceps femoris muscles provide?

Which process helps make meiotic vlcells genetically different and occurs during prophase 1 ,but not during prophase 2

fiasKO [112]

So basically in Prophase 1 you will get a synapsis (pairing) between homologous chromosomes. Followed by this you have what is called the crossing over stage, this is where different sections of the chromosomes are exchanged.

When it comes to cytokinesis in meiosis II, you will have four genetically unique haploid cells, that will have a random combination/mixture of the parental and maternal genes

dangina [55]

Answer:

All the different plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, and variety of ecosystems found on Earth

Explanation:

Biodiversity can be broken down into "Biological" and "diversity" which means the how diverse in number and variety is the life found on Earth. Life represents all living organisms like plants, animals, microbes etc.

Based on this, all the different plants, animals, fungi, microorganisms, and variety of ecosystems found on Earth is the option that best defines biodiversity. The other options leaves out the variety (talked about only one species) and biological aspect of the term.
