What are barrier islands? What protects the barrier islands?

Biology
1 answer:
dem82 [27]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Barrier islands form in three ways. They can form from spits, from drowned dune ridges or from sand bars. Longshore drift is the movement of sand parallel to the shore caused by the angle of the waves breaking on the beach. When a storm such as a hurricane digs an inlet through the spit a barrier island is formed. Barrier islands are a specific type of island that lie parallel to the coastline of a larger mainland. They are separated from shore by a bay, lagoon or sound and because of where they are situated, they protect the coast from being directly impacted by storm waves or winds.

In Oompa Loompas, gray face (G) is dominant to orange recessive face (g). If two gray faced Oompas have an offspring with an ora
Neko [114]

Answer:

The genotype for each of the parents must be

parent 1 : Gg

parent 2 : Gg

Explanation:

Please note that a dominant trait is a trait that is expressed phenotypically in a heterozygous state, while a recessive trait is a trait that can only be expressed in a homozygous state.

Now, since gray face (G) for Oompa Loompas is dominant, and orange face (g) is recessive, for an offspring to be orange faced, it means that the genotype of the offspring must be 'gg'. Also, since both parent contribute an allele in the pair of alleles in the offspring, both parents must have the recessive (g) in their genotype. Moreover, we are told that both parents are gray-faced, meaning that their genotypes were 'Gg' and 'Gg'. To confirm, let me do the cross

                                 G           g

G                                GG       Gg

g                                 Gg        gg

from the cross above, we find out that out of 4 offspring, 3 were gray face (GG, Gg ) while one was orange face (gg).

.Why are shadows shorter around noon?
Airida [17]

<em>At noon the sun is directly overhead the sun rays fall vertically on the body so the shadow is very short.</em>

<em>So the rays fall vertically on the body. in mornings and evenings the rays fall at inclined position. So shadows are long at mornings or evenings.</em>

Whereas superficial flexors in the anterior compartment of the forearm originate from the _____ epicondyle of the humerus, the s
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Whereas superficial flexors in the anterior compartment of the forearm originate from the medial epicondyle of the humerus, the superficial extensors in the posterior compartment of the forearm originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.

Explanation:

The forearm has 2 compartments: an anterior compartment responsible for the flexion of the wrist, and a posterior compartment with the function to extend the wrist.

The superficial muscles in the anterior compartment arise from the common flexor tendon that originates from the medial epicondyle of the humerus. This compartment is mostly innervated by the median nerve.

The superficial muscles in the posterior compartment originate from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and are innervated by the radial nerve.

The ulnar nerve innervates the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor digitorum profundus in the forearm.
