3650 x 50 = 182,500 clams

<u>Each clam accumulated 1 unit of mercury in its body from the water it lives in and there is no loss of mercury between the clam and the stingray. Hence, the total number of units of mercury the stingray would have accumulated in 10 years equals:</u>

182,500 clams x 1 unit = 182,500 units of mercury.

Menopause is characterized by depletion of ovarian follicles, a reduction of ovarian hormones to castrate levels and elevated levels of serum gonadotropins. Rather than degenerating, the reproductive neuroendocrine axis in postmenopausal women is intact and responds robustly to the removal of ovarian hormones.

Menopause marks the cessation in reproductive cycles of middle-aged women. It is heralded by depletion of ovarian follicles leading to the loss of ovarian hormones with repercussions throughout the body.

What determines how strong an earthquake is?
chubhunter [2.5K]
<span>Seismic waves are the vibrations from earthquakes that travel through the Earth; they are recorded on instruments called seismographs. Seismographs record a zig-zag trace that shows the varying amplitude of ground oscillations beneath the instrument. Sensitive seismographs, which greatly magnify these ground motions, can detect strong earthquakes from sources anywhere in the world. The time, locations, and magnitude of an earthquake can be determined from the data recorded by seismograph stations. Earthquakes can be measured through the Richter Scale...
