Please help!! Can you figure out the modern spreading rate of the Mid- Atlantic ridge? Use that line to figure out how many kilo

meters a plate moved from the spreading boundary in a set number of years. Convert that rate to the distance a point moves in just one year, rounding your answer to the nearest millimeter.

Answer:

R = 16mm/y  

Explanation:

Modern Spreading Rate (R) = distance the seafloor moved in km (d) / age in million years (t)

R = d/t  

To calculate it in millimeters per year we need to convert it:

<em>1 km = 1000 m  </em>

<em>1 m = 100 cm </em>

<em>1cm = 10mm </em>

<em>1 km = 1,000,000 mm   </em>

The problem states that in 150 million years, there is a distance of 2400 km.

if 1 km ------- 1,000,000 mm

2400 km-------X = 2400,000,000 mm

If 1 million years -------1,000,000 years

150 my----X = 150,000,000 years

R = d/t

R = 2400,000,000 mm/150,000,000 y.

R = 16mm/y

Feliz [49]

Answer:

The different sentences that belong to different groups are given as follows:

Bacteria

A common genus is Pelagibacter.

Some types found in the photic zone carry out aerobic photosynthesis.

They are the predominant prokaryotes above 1000m

Archaea

Below 1000m the most common phylum is Thaumarchaeota.

Most of these living below 1000m are thought to be ammonia oxidizers.

They increase to near 50% of total prokaryotes below 1000m

    

Viruses

Most are inactivated by hydrolytic enzymes or sunlight

Turnover in sea water is relatively rapid, the populations are replaced within a few days or weeks

They are the most numerous biological entities in seawater

horrorfan [7]
It  is  false that  in  plant  by    life   cycle,eggs  and  sperm  are   produced mitosis.


  Flowering  plant   go  through  a  complicated    double   fertilization  process  that  involves  a lot  of  sperm.pollen   grain  is  produced  by process  of  meiosis  in  which  sex  cell  divides  its  so  that   exactly  half  of  the  genetic  code  is in  a  cell.

A change in a given direction causes change in the opposite direction.
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Negative Feedback

Explanation:

Negative feedback is a stimulus that cause the system to move in the opposite direction of what has happening.  For example if your are cold, you will shiver in order to create heat that will cause your body temperature to increase.   But if you are hot you will sweat which will cause your body temperature to decrease.

Darwin observed that organisms that were best able to survive and reproduce had adaptations that were...
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

A: Suited for their environment

Explanation:

You can automatically eliminate B and C, since they both say that animals with adaptations that won't work with their environment would have a higher survival rate. This doesn't make sense; adaptations that wouldn't suit an environment would actually lower the population's chances of reproduction and survival.
That leads us to A and D. However, A would be the correct answer. Organisms with adaptations that suited their environment would help them (since it would make the organism more compatible with their environment), rather than having no change at all.

Hope this helped!
