Answer:

Find the explanation below.

Explanation:

The Hawaiian Islands is a series of islands positioned in what looks like a chain, which increases in age as one moves northwest. The Hawaiian hotspot was formed as a result of the collision of the tectonic plates in the outer part of the earth which caused the rise of a volcano, and which in turn gave off magma which came to rest on a seafloor. That eruption on the seafloor is the hotspot.

This hotspot remains unmovable while the tectonic plates are in constant motion around the hotspot, giving rise to further Islands. This explains the age distribution pattern of the Hawaiian islands which arrived at different times making some older than the others.

Read the passage. What is the claim?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

<em>Hello There. the Correct answer to this is This drug helps people lose more weight than diet and exercise alone. The reason for this statement is that with diet and exercise alone, 23% lost weight whereas with diet, exercise and the drug, 48% lost weight so the conclusion is that the drug enhanced weight loss. As a personal comment, the trouble with synthetic drugs is that there are usually side effects so that avoiding the drugs also avoids side effects so therefore I think it is best to find the right diet and exercise that actually lowers weight or take a vitamin or herb supplement to help with this. </em>

Hope it helps!

A root is absorbing water from the soil, which route will the water travel inside the root?
WARRIOR [948]
<span>Root hairs and all active transport mineral ions are used by plants to enable water absorption. The route of the movement of water inside the root would be illustrated through this sequence:Epidermis (outside layer of the roots) --> cortex (ground tissue layer just between the epidermis and the root's vascular tissue) --> endodermis(a layer outside the vascular tissue;responsible for mineral uptake of plants) --> stele( tissues combined inside the cortex) --> xylem (can be primary and secondary, both originates from provascular tissue and vascular cambium,maturing to its inside, respectively) --> phloem (can be primary and secondary too, both originates from provascular tissue and vascular cambium,maturing to its outside, respectively --> cambium(a meristem originating from an apical meristem, gives rise to secondary xylem and secondary phloem. </span>
