The oceans cover about 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean water contains salts and we say that ocean water has a certain s

alinity. You are very familiar with a salt: NaCl. But there are other salts in the oceans. Scientists estimate that if the salt in the oceans could be removed and spread evenly over the Earth's land surface it would form a layer more than 500 feet thick, about the height of a 40-story office building (NOAA). Scientists also believe that the amount of salt in the Earth's oceans remains pretty constant. Salt water - fresh water. Where did the salt in the oceans come form?

Answer:

The salt in the oceans comes from weathering and the erosion of the earth's crust.

Explanation:

The weathering can be described as the breaking down of rocks.

During the weathering of rocks, minerals will be dissolved from the land and salt is one of them. These minerals (salt included) will then be delivered into the oceans by erosion of the Earth's crust.

Erosion can be aided by wind, ice or water. Erosion removed weathered materials. When these weathered materials are removed, new materials (rocks) will be exposed to weathering thereby promoting continuous weathering processes

How dose science influence the decisions made about social, economic, and political issues?
inysia [295]
This is a rather subjective question and has a lot to do with the type of society in which one lives. the more secular the world is becoming... gives science a huge spotlight on the stage. because science provides an answer with tons of evidence to back it up, it is seen as a reliable method to follow. So, socially speaking you may have experienced in a normal conversation where someone turns around and tells you that your opinions are just opinions and have nothing factual to back them up. This is where science comes in. Economically and politically speaking, science is used to justify different political aims of governments. However, this is done mostly through the misrepresentation of science by people who are trying to pursue their own agenda. So really this question can be answered in many ways and from many different perspectives but do not forget that science influences all streams for the better but also for the worse in the way in which it is represented.

Answer:

- Rh, normal insulin

- Rh, no insulin

- Rh-, normal insulin

- Rh-, no insulin.

Explanation:

This question involves two genes; one coding for Rhesus factor and insulin product. The allele for Rh blood and normal insulin dominates that of Rh- and no insulin.

According to this question, if both parents are heterozygous for both Rh and normal insulin production and cross, i.e. RrIi × RrIi, the following phenotype of offsprings will be produced (see punnet square):

- Rh, normal insulin (R_I_)

- Rh, no insulin (R_ii)

- Rh-, normal insulin (rrI_)

- Rh-, no insulin (rrii)
