Answer:

2-They also don't reproduce independently but must replicate by invading living cells.

Viruses are considered non living since they are not made out of cells, they can't keep themselves in a stable state, they don't grow, and they can't make their own energy.

What plate boundaries causes sea floor spreading?
Blababa [14]

Answer: Seafloor spreading occurs at <u>divergent plate boundaries.</u> As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense. The less-dense material rises, often forming a mountain or elevated area of the seafloor.

A meander that has been cut off from the river becomes a
babunello [35]
Salutations!

A meander that has been cut off from the river is called oxbow lake. I will now give an explanation on how an oxbow lake is formed.

An oxbow lake is a narrow U-shaped lake near a river. Its a meander that got cut off.

As erosion, continues, the neck of the meander is worn away. It gets narrower and narrower. Then, during flooding, the river takes a shortcut - straight across the neck. Soon the loop of the meander gets sealed off. It turns into an oxbow lake. In time, the lake will get covered with weeds, and fill with soil, and disappear. 

Hope I helped (:

Have a great day!
