Answer:

The theory of plate tectonics states that the Earth's solid outer crust, the lithosphere, is separated into plates that move over the asthenosphere, the molten upper portion of the mantle. Oceanic and continental plates come together, spread apart, and interact at boundaries all over the planet.

First of all, this was a bit garbled up, so it is sort of incomplete.

You gave me a total of 43 words, and I only counted 41 slots on the crossword graph itself, which is problematic.

I got as far as I could, but some of the words either weren't provided, or the spaces were made incorrectly for the length of these words.

Across:
2. (black / pitch)
7. conservation
9. radiation
12. crest
13 ?
14. <em>whatever you wrote</em>
15. dense
18. ? (radiant)
19. ? (radiant)
20. amperes
23. medium
25. density
26. ?
30. resistance
31. (pitch / black)
34. voltage
35. insulator
38. amplitudes

2. Two organisms would be most closely related if both have the same classification in which of the following groups?

raketka [301]

Answer: D. Species

Explanation:

Species is a group of population in which organisms have many common characteristics and they are capable of interbreeding and producing viable fertile offsprings. The members belonging to the same class and phylum have less common characteristics if they interbreed they may not produce viable fertile offsprings. Also, the organisms of the same kingdom have least common characteristics and will not have viable fertile offsprings after interbreeding.

What is phosphorus used in the soil for

Otrada [13]

Phosphorus is, therefore important in cell division and development of new tissue.
It is also associated with complex energy transformations in the plant. Adding phosphorus to soil low in available phosphorus promotes root growth and winter hardiness, stimulates tillering, and often hastens maturity.

Hopefully this helps :)

Well, wind and solar energy are good places to look at. The highest wind speed recorded in Antartica was roughly 199 mph, so they would definitely gain a large amount of energy from the wind. A smaller turbine can handle severe weather conditions, so setting some up along the most wind ridden places would be good. Solar energy would also be the best option since their days are longer than their nights over there. There can be days at a time where the sun doesn't rise at all, and then there are some where there is sunlight for a full 24 hours. So, it really depends on your preference, and the cons and pros of the energy type.
For wind: Set up a series of turbines along the areas that have the most wind. Turbines can withstand large storms. There is usually some kind of wind blowing.
For solar: Set up some solar panels where they would be able to get the most amount of sunlight. There are 24 hour long days of sunlight, but there are also some days where there is no sunlight at all.

Hope this helps you a bit.
