Explain how the formation of new oceanic crust at divergent boundaries is balanced

Biology
1 answer:
Oliga [24]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Through seafloor spreading.

Explanation:

Subduction balances the formation of new oceanic crust at divergent boundaries by the formation of new oceanic crust through seafloor spreading.  The oceanic crust sinks into the mantle which creases an empty space that can be filled with magma that is responsible for the production of new crust on that empty space of subduction zone so we can conclude from this discussion that formation of new crust balances at divergent boundaries  through seafloor spreading.

Thinking Critically Potassium-40 decays to
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The radioactive isotopes of Potassium-40 generally observed to decay to argon-40 and calcium 40, also called daughter isotopes. The problem arises with the calcium 40 radioisotopes which cannot be used for age determination due to its excessive presence.

Explanation:

The radioactive isotopes Potassium 40 decays to argon 40 helps in determining age of fossils and rocks mainly due to the fact that extreme heat causes radioactive potassium to decay to noble argon-40 gas. The rate of decay is attributed to its half life period which in turns help in finding the relative age of fossils or rocks. But, problem occurs when it decays to calcium 40, as because calcium forms large part of many minerals including bone.

can be used by cells to store energy, form biological membranes, and serve as chemical messengers. A) Carbohydrates B) Fructose
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Option D. Lipids

Explanation:

Lipids store its energy in forms of triglycerides in the cells of animals. lipids can provide energy at a steady pace whereas carbohydrates releases all its energy at once.

Some lipids such as steroid act as hormones which serve as chemical messengers between cells. Steroids are chemical messengers for the body. All steroids are derived from cholesterol,

Cell membranes are made of phospholipids, this type of lipid and this lipd has a polar end because of the phosphate group.
