In mid-ocean ridge areas, ocean water is cycled through the crust because of the high heat flow in the area. Water in the rock is heated over the magmas, rising up and drawing in cold water from the sides. This process is occurring all over the world, and is the primary means for maintaining ocean salinity in a relatively constant range over the long term, as elements in the sea water when it is heated react with the rocks. There is so much water flow, cumulatively over the entire world, that this process basically buffers ocean chemistry.

Obviously large increases or decreases in salinity can and do occur in isolated basins that do not have free exchange with the open oceans.

Answer:

Surtsey provided ideal conditions for studying primary succession because due to volcanic eruption all the vegetation and living organisms are destroyed from the surface and the land has no vegetation. Primary succession only occurs when the land is colonized for the first time after the formation of land due to natural disaster such as volcanic eruption etc. So we can say that Surtsey provided the conditions for observing primary succession.

What structures work in antagonistic pairs to move bones?
Olegator [25]

Answer

Option C - Skeletal Muscles

Explanation

Antagonistic pairs are the muscles that are functionally opposite, if one produces flexion, then the other's primary action is an extension. Skeletal muscles work in pairs to move a bone so that the muscles can function properly. They contract the bone making nerves deliver a message to the brain. For example. Biceps and triceps. The lower arm is moved upwards when the biceps muscle contracts and the triceps muscle is relaxed and vice versa.
