Lina20 [59]3 years ago

Trenches are formed by subduction, a geophysical process in which two or more of Earth's tectonic plates converge and the older, denser plate is pulled beneath the lighter plate and deep into the mantle, causing the seafloor and outermost crust ( the lithosphere) the bend and form a steep, V- shaped depression.

Answer: Trenches are the V-shaped depression that are formed in the ocean when two distinct plates collides with one another, of which the denser plate (oceanic plate) gets subducted beneath the less denser plate (continental/oceanic plate), creating a subduction zone or the benioff zone.

      Due to this subduction phenomenon, the V-shaped depression forms in the ocean which is known as the trench.

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed 3-chambered hearts.
MatroZZZ [7]

The common ancestors of birds and mammals were very early (stem) reptiles, which almost certainly possessed 3-chambered hearts. Birds and mammals, however, are alike in having 4-chambered hearts. The 4 chambered hearts of birds and mammals are best described as homoplasies.

<h3>What about homoplasies?</h3>
  • It is more frequently a modified version of an inherited characteristic.
  • For instance, the scales that were already present in its reptilian parent led to the evolution of feathers in birds.
  • Similar to reptiles, mammals developed fur from their predecessors' scales.
  • The same set of data can typically yield more than one potential cladogram.
  • Different species of legged lizards developed into snakes and lizards with limbless bodies.
  • Natural selection does not affect a sizable number of mutations.
  • They came to the conclusion that reptiles, birds, and mammals all descended from the same ancient reptilian progenitor.
