Answer:

Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.

Explanation:

Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.

  • CO2 is not combustible.
  • creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
  • Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)

Using the explicit formula, calculate how far the students will be swimming on week 10 using Ernest's schedule.
ivann1987 [24]

Ernest would be swimming at 3.25 units on week 10

The explicit formula is given as:

a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \times d

Also, we have the following parameters

a_1 =1.0 -- the initial distance

d =0.25 --- the difference between concurrent distances

In week 10, the value of n is 10.

Next, substitute 10 for n in the explicit formula a_n = a_1 + (n - 1) \times d

So, we have:

a_{10} = 1.0 + (10 - 1) \times 0.25

Subtract 1 from 10

a_{10} = 1.0 + 9 \times 0.25

Multiply 9 by 0.25

a_{10} = 1.0 + 2.25

Add 1.0 and 2.25

a_{10} = 3.25

Hence, Ernest would be swimming at 3.25 units on week 10
