Four friends were arguing about the time scales for geoscience prosses related to plate tectonics. They each had different ideas

about how long it takes for the motion of earth's tectonic plate to produce changes on earth's surface. This is what they said:
Natia: The movement of Earth's plates forms landforms over million of years.

Zeke: The movement of Earth's pates causes rapid events that can occur within seconds.

Akoni: The movement of Earth's plate only moves continents across Earth's surface

Jan: The movement of Earth's plates only moves continents across Earth's surface.

Which student do you agree with?

Natia
Zeke
Akoni
Jan

I agree with Natia, at an average rate around 100 years a tectonic plate can move 62.5 miles if not more in 1 million years

What specific event triggers the uncovering of the myosin binding site on actin?
Bess [88]
Striated muscles contain repeating sarcomeres of overlapping arrays of long, thin actin and thicker myosin filaments. Myosin filaments contains the myosin heads, which are enzymes that can bind to actin, split and make use of the energy from ATP. When muscle contraction starts, myosin heads bind to actin, change their configuration on actin, liberating the products of ATP hydrolysis and causing slide of the actin and myosin filaments. The action of the proteins troponin and  tropomyosin on the actin filaments regulates vertebrae striated muscle contraction. The release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum is triggered by the nervous stimulation which causes depolarization of muscle membrane. Calcium ions bind to troponin and thus cause or allow the tropomyosin strands on the actin filament to move so that the part of the actin surface where myosin heads need to bind is uncovered. Contraction then occurs and only stops when the sarcoplasmic reticulum pumps calcium out of the muscle interior.

So basically, what triggers the uncovering of the myosin binding site on actin is the calcium ions binding to troponin and changing configuration.

Why does the amount of water that flows in a river change during the year?
Alex
There are multiple factors that influence the amount of water that flows in a river.
1. A factor upstream like rain can cause the water level downstream to rise for a short period in time.
2. A blockage in a runoff stream can cause the main rivers water level to rise due to the lack of available runoff path for the water to take.
3. Also the melting of snow can cause the water level to rise as well.
