Oceanic lithosphere consists mainly of mafic crust and ultramafic mantle (peridotite) and is denser than continental lithosphere, for which the mantle is associated with crust made of felsic rocks. Oceanic lithosphere thickens as it ages and moves away from the mid-ocean ridge. This thickening occurs by conductive cooling, which converts hot asthenosphere into lithospheric mantle and causes the oceanic lithosphere to become increasingly thick and dense with age. In fact, oceanic lithosphere is a thermal boundary layer for the convection[9] in the mantle. The thickness of the mantle part of the oceanic lithosphere can be approximated as a thermal boundary layer that thickens as the square root of time.

Which is the result of telophase 1 and cytokinesis
oee [108]

Answer:

The result of Telophase 1 and Cytokinesis is two haploid daughter cells that are genetically different from the original cell.

Telophase I. At each pole, during this stage, there is a complete haploid set of chromosomes (but each chromosome still has two sister chromatids). A cleavage furrow appears, and by the end of this stage the parent cell has divided into two daughter cells. This separation of the cytoplasm is called cytokinesis.

While the Alternative Hypothesis state that the mean hemoglobin level for all the children in Jordan is less than 12g/dl

Explanation:

The Null hypothesis H0: This is the hypothesis that state that there is no statistical difference between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis that the researcher is work to nullify.
