Answer: warm water
El Nino is a climate change pattern which describes the unusual warming of water of Pacific Ocean. The atmospheric pressure above the water decreases. The warm water increases the temperature of wind. The warm wind moves towards the East Equator.
Answer:
B. Is what the scientists manipulate in the experiment.
Explanation:
The Independent variable is not dependent, or doesn't rely, on another variable in the experiment. So, it would make the most sense that they would manipulate the Independent so that they can watch and see how the dependent variable reacts to the manipulation, or the change, in the independent variable.
Answer:
B) meteorite sample
Explanation:
The age of the solar system, derived from the study of meteorites (thought to be the oldest accessible material around) is near 5 billion years; that of the Earth is taken as 4.6 billion years. The oldest rocks on Earth are dated as 3.8 billion years.
Answer:
If Clark had no ions in his nervous system, he would not be able to generate an action potentials.
Explanation:
An action potential occurs when a stimulus causes sodium channels to open in a neuron. Sodium floods in, making the inside of the cell more negative and the outside more positive. This is known as depolarization. Then, the Potassium channels open to allow Potassium out (Repolarization). A few too many K+ ions will leave the cell (Hyperpolarization), and finally, the Sodium-Potassium pump will bring the cell back to resting potential.
As you can see, the Sodium and Potassium ions are <em>essential</em> to action potentials in the nervous system. If Clark had no ions in his system, he would not be able to send any action potentials at all.
