Africa and South America are 4,000 km apart. If the plates move away from each other at a rate of 30 km per 1 million years, how

long would it take for them to travel 4,000 km?
Rate = Distance ÷ Time Distance = Rate ÷ Time Time = Distance ÷ Rate

The subject is science I just cant find it-

Answer:

The majority of the research shows that the plates move at the average rate of between approximately 0.60 cm/yr to 10 cm/yr. Some sources state that in the North Atlantic, the rate of movement is only about 1 cm (about 0.4 in) per year, while in the Pacific it amounts to more than 4 cm (almost 2 in) annually, while others say that plates, in general, travel from 5 to 10 cm/yr.



The Eurasian Plate is moving away from the North American Plate at a rate the is about 3cm per year. That is about the same rate at which your fingernails will grow.



The distance from New York to London is in 3459 miles (5567 km). What will the distance be in 5 million years?.





The distance from New York to London in 5 million years will be 3552 miles (5717 km). So if today it takes us 7 hours and 30 minutes to fly to London at a speed of 460 miles per hour, in 5 million years at the same rate of speed will take us close to 8 hours.

Explain E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The theory of E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography was originally developed as island biogeography, to explain species richness of actual islands, surrounded by water.

It proposes that the number of species found in an undisturbed environment is determined by immigration and emigration. According to him, the species richness will be the same if this island will have an equal number of the immigration and extinction or emigration of species.

Can someone answer this pls??
Lunna [17]

Answer:

75% brown, 25% white

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for color in chickens. The allele for brown color (B) is dominant over the allele for white color (b).

According to this question, a brown rooter with genotype 'BB' was crossed with a white hen (bb). The offsprings in the F1 generation will all possess the 'Bb' genotype and be brown colored. However, if these F1 offsprings are self-mated i.e Bb × Bb, the proportion of F2 offsprings will be 1BB, 2Bb, 1bb.

Since BB, Bb and Bb offsprings are Brown in color and bb is white in color, this means that the expected phenotypic appearance of the F2 offsprings will be:

¾ or 75% brown and ¼ or 25% white

These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that we can use to make proteins
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Cyanobacteria, Anabaena and Azotobactor are called Nitrogen fixing bacteria. These bacteria change the nitrogen in the atmosphere into a form that is used by the plants to make proteins. Plants take nitrogen in the form of nitrates. The atmospheric nitrogen is first converted into ammonia after that ammonia is converted into nitrates and this nitrates use by the plants to make proteins.

what cellular mechanisms allow human body cells to maintain these concentrations ?
sweet [91]
Answer:


Active transport: movement against a gradient To move substances against a concentration or electrochemical gradient, a cell must use energy. Active transport mechanisms do just this, expending energy (often in the form of ATP) to maintain the proper concentrations of ions and molecules in living cells.
