The Okinawa and Amami Great Island are the biggest among the Ryukyu Islands. They were generally volcanic in origin and have mountainous terrain. The Amami Islands are limestone islands of coralline origin.  The Okinawa ans Amami Great Island were created by volcanic activity from the sea bed, the pressure from the volcanic activity managed to get massive amounts of magma up to the surface, thus lifting the sea floor and creating an island. At that time, there were numerous volcanic activities nearby, thus the little islands created later merge into one bigger island.

If an object turns but maintains the same speed,has its acceleration changed?explain
Andreas93 [3]
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity
Since velocity is a vector, it has both speed and direction.
So, if the object is travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, then it will not be accelerating. Both Magnitude and direction are constant.
However, if the object is travelling in a circle at a constant speed, then it'll be accelerating. An Object going in a circle is constantly changing it's direction, which means velocity is changing, so there is an acceleration caused by a net force.
Hope this Helps :)

Humans produce skin cells by mitosis and gametes by meiosis. The nuclei of skin cells produced by mitosis will have
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

The nuclei of the skin cells produced by mitosis will have identical genetic material as that of the parent cell.

It is because mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, each having equal and identical chromosomes as that of the parent cell.

In addition, events like crossing over do not take place due to which no genetic variation is developed in the daughter cells.

The process of mitosis is mainly involved in the repair and growth of the body.
