Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Oil shale is a form of sedimentary rock that contains kerogen, which is released as a petroleum-like liquid when the rock is heated. Tar sands are a combination of clay, sand, water and bitumen, which is a heavy hydrocarbon. Like the kerogen in oil shale, tar sands' bitumen can be upgraded to synthetic crude oil.

Answer:

Oil shale is a form of sedimentary rock that contains kerogen, which is released as a petroleum-like liquid when the rock is heated. Tar sands are a combination of clay, sand, water and bitumen, which is a heavy hydrocarbon.

Additional info:

The term oil sands refers to a particular type of nonconventional oil deposit that is found throughout the world. Oil sands, sometimes referred to as tar sands, is a mixture of sand, clay, other minerals, water, and bitumen. The bitumen is a form of crude oil that can be separated out from the mixture.

The primary distinction between crude or conventional oil and shale oil is the way it collects. The oil in shale is typically found in smaller batches. As a result, shale oil often needs to be fractured so that the oil trapped within the shale can be recovered.

Some closely related species of snails cannot mate because their shells spiral in opposite directions, making it impossible for
mixer [17]

Answer:

Mechanical incompatibility.

Explanation:

Mechanical incompatibility: occurs when species cannot mate because their reproductive structures are incompatible – In animals with internal fertilization, male and female sexual organs may not fit together – For example, snails of species whose shells have left-handed spirals may be unable to copulate successfully.

Mechanical incompatibility of male and female genitalia is common in animals with internal fertilization. However, our knowledge regarding the precise mechanisms is limited.

A grown tiger began its life as a single fertilized egg. Explain why a tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as
blsea [12.9K]
<span>A tiger looks so much different as an adult than it did as a single fertilized egg because it developed through different stages from being a zygote (fertilized egg), to becoming an embryo (where it experiences intense cellular changes), to becoming a fetus (where it gains a great measure of cell specialization, and develops distinct tissues and organ systems). After birth, the tiger still undergoes further growth and development into adulthood. This is largely regulated by the expression of different genes at different times and also by environmental factors.</span>

While you are inserting an oropharyngeal airway into a patient's mouth, he begins to gag and then vomit. how should you respond?
den301095 [7]
Hello! If this takes place, then the EMT probably did not use the correct method. They should tilt the head while keeping the chin up. This prevents them from being able to gag. You would not want to change the oxygen flow because that one was probably correct for their situation. So just remove<span> the air supply and follow the head tilt-chin lift procedure.

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,
