The theory of plate tectonics plates  says  that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move to each other.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Higher Photosynthesis, lower carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere and vice versa.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is greatly responsible for the fluctuation of carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere because photosynthesis is the process where carbondioxide gas is used in large amount. If the vegetation occurs higher in the season, decrease will occur in the carbondioxide concentration of the atmosphere while on the other hand, if the less vegetation occur then there is higher amount of carbondioxide concentration in the atmosphere.

What would explain the change in the size of a gummy bear after it is placed in regular water?
salantis [7]

Answer:

The change in size of a gummy bear when placed in water is due to the presence of gelatin in the gummy bears.

Explanation:

Most of the gummy candies, like the gummy bears are made up of gelatin. To make the gummy bears, water and gelatin are mixed and heated. Then, this mixture is allowed to cool. During cooling, the water evaporates leaving the gelatin in a chewy form.

When the gummy bear is placed in water, the water is absorbed by the gummy bear due to  osmosis. Hence, the gummy bears tend to increase in size.

Water is a hygroscopic substance i.e it tends to absorb water. So, this property of gelatin will enable it to absorb water and increase in size.
