Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

How could the tomato plants response to being eaten by a hornworm caterpillar be described as a function of homeostasis
sesenic [268]

Answer:

First, it's important to get clear on the meaning of Homeostasis.

In simple terms, it refers to the capacity of a living thing (plant or animal) to react or behave in such a way that enables it to continue to survive irrespective of changes in its immediate environment.

       

Explanation:

In humans, the body has a system which reacts to the external stimuli of temprature. When the weather is hot, the brain through a sequence of electrical and chemical signals tells the skin to open up the pore, then we experience venting of sweating which cools the body and regulates internal heat. This is an instance of homeostasis.

This does not mean that the plant or animal is completely immune to such external changes.

In the case of the tomato plant, the hair on the leaves and stem of the plant is an example of Homeostatic responses which have evolved over the years to discourage predators such as the hornworm caterpillar from defoliating the plant.

Cheers!

Consider the motion diagram. It illustrates a car's velocity (V) and acceleration (A). Determine is there is a change in either
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Change in velocity: yes

Change in acceleration: no

Explanation:

The diagram of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

In the diagram, there are represented:

- The velocity of the car, as a vector labelled with V

- The acceleration of the car, as a vector labelled with A

The directions of the vector represent the direction of the velocity and the acceleration, while the length of the arrows represent the magnitude of the two quantities.

We observe that:

- For the velocity, the direction is always to the right; however, the length of the arrow decreases, so the magnitude of the velocity keeps decreasing

- For the acceleration, the direction is always to the left; and the length of the arrow remains constant, therefore the magnitude of the acceleration does not change.

This means that the car is moving to the right, but it is slowing  down, since the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the velocity.
