Setler [38]

Answer:

4) d

Explanation:

In the given figure, A is a wavelength which is the distance between two crests of a wave. B is a crest which is the highest point located on a wave at maximum distance upward from the middle of the wave. C is a trough which is an opposite of crest meaning that it is the lowest point on a wave from the middle.

Lastly, equilibrium is a point located in the middle of wave. In other words, it is the average of crests and troughs located on a wavelength.

Step 1: Stella's urine contains protein due to inadequate filtration.
Step 2: High toxin levels in the blood are due to Secretion.
Step 3: Increased Metabolic wastes are due to inadequate Reabsorption.
Step 4: The presence of vital Vitamins in urine is due to inadequate Reabsorption.

Thus, Step 1 belongs to filtration, Step 2 belongs to secretion, and Steps 3 and 4 belong to reabsorption.

What is the composition of the asthenosphere?

BartSMP [9]

The asthenosphere lies 80-200km below the surface under the lithosphere. Convection also occurs in the asthenosphere. The asthenosphere is mostly made of up rock material (magnesium and iron silicates). The asthenosphere makes up 6% of the mantle and lets the lithosphere move.

Best of Luck!
