Answer:

someone can die at sea from thrist because there is no drinkable water.

Explanation:

You cannot drink the water surrounding you because it is salt water. (not the regular non-salt water we drink) the salt in the ocean water will actually dehydrate you more.

Hope this helps!!

Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.

9 . Our ability to make our legs move as we walk across the room is controlled by the ________ nervous system.
klasskru [66]

The SNS carries information to control movements of the muscles of the body.

<h3>What is somatic nervous system?</h3>

It is a part of the Peripheral Nervous System that is responsible for transmitting both sensory information and the muscles.

It is related to the innervation of skeletal muscle by motor axons that conduct impulses to skeletal muscles, to allow movements such as walking.

Therefore, we can conclude that the somatic nervous system is responsible for sending motor control information to skeletal muscles.

Explain how the fit of the continents can be used as evidence or continental drift
olasank [31]

So, all the continents can combine into a supercontinent we call Pangea. We believe Pangea was formed a long time ago. Because of different world events (earthquakes, fissures,ice melting, the meteor that hit the dinosaurs, etc)this supercontinent split and the continents drifted away eventually forming the modern day topography we know today. We have evidence that Pangea was formed a long time ago because of similar species on different continents that would be too far away to share a common ancestor otherwise. (think about birds being on every continent, they can't have flown all the way across the Atlantic/Pacific)
