When a wave reaches a beach or coastline, it releases a burst of energy that generates a current, which runs parallel to the sho

reline. This type of current is called a longshore current. The water in a longshore current flows up onto the beach, and back into the ocean, in a sheet formation. This action can cause significant beach erosion called A) ripping Eliminate B) parallel erosion C) longshore drift D) longshore rip

Answer:Longshore drift

Explanation:

Longshore drift which originates from longshore current  is a geological process which involves the movement  of sediments eg pebbles, sand along a coast in one direction which is determine by a prevailing wind, and so generates a water current which moves parallel to the shoreline at about 45 degrees.

A plane is traveling at 80 m/s. To prepare for landing, it decreases its speed to 50 m/s in 120 s.
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

Explanation:

Deceleration is the converse of acceleration.

From first law of motion, we have;

v = u + at

where: v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Thus,

v = 50 m/s

u = 80 m/s

t = 120 s

50 = 80 + 120a

50 - 80 = 120a

-30 = 120a

a = \frac{-30}{120}

  = -0.25

a = -0.25 m/s^{2}

The deceleration of the plane is 0.25 m/s^{2}.

What di eukaryotes most likely evolve from?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Most of the Eukaryotes most likely to evolve from the Prokaryotes.  Prokaryotes are basically unicellular organisms that lack internal membrane-bound structures. So, they do not carry nucleus and generally have a single chromosome. Most of them have a cell wall outside  the plasma membrane, which is a thin layer of lipid that completely surrounds the cell.  Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission method.

Which hazard has occurred when you are working in a grain bin and you stand on or below the “bridged” grain, causing it to colla
FinnZ [79.3K]

<span>Suffocation is a most leading reason of death in grain storage bins. Grain handling industry is a high hazard industry where workers can be exposed to numerous serious and life threatening hazards. These hazards include: fires and explosions from grain dust accumulation, suffocation from engulfment and entrapment in grain bins, falls from heights and crushing injuries and amputations from grain handling equipment.  </span>

Neurotransmission is unidirectional insofar as chemical and electrical conduction is concerned within the individual neuron. Of
jasenka [17]

Answer: The correct option is C (Dendrites, Cell body, Axon, Axon terminals)

Explanation:

The transfer of information from neuron to neuron takes place through the release of chemical substances into the space between the axon and the dendrites. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and the process is called NEUROTRANSMISSION.

The order of neurotransmitter/receptor interaction that results in an electrical signal impulse and the release of another neurotransmitter for interaction in the synaptic cleft (signal conduction through a neuron) is from Dendrites--> Cell body--> Axon-->Axon terminals>

DENDRITES extends from the cell body of a neurone to receive messages at neuromuscular junction from other neurons. The CELL BODY directs all activities to the axon. The AXON is a long single fibre that transmits messages from the cell body and ends in terminals forming a synapse. Nerve impulses arrives at the axon terminal causing the release of neurotransmitters. The neurotransmitters binds to receptors at the dendrites of another neurons. The electrical signal impulses generated causes the release of neurotransmitters in another neuron.
