"during expiration, which best describes the role of the diaphragm?"

Biology
1 answer:
Scilla [17]4 years ago
3 0
During respiration, the diaphragm moves upwards and returns to dome shape from the flattened shape before during expiration.

This movement of diaphragm can decrease the lung volume, increase the pressure inside and thus force the air out. This process is expiration.

However, if we breathe in again, which makes that inhalation, the diaphragm moves downwards into a flat shape so that it can increase the lung volume and thus we can breathe in as much air we can. This process is completely opposite from expiration.

Out of the options, the only point of reference that is likely to be above the diver is B. the diving board.

Impacts of fracking include
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

D is the answer

Explanation:

Hydraulic facturing, aka fracking, uses toxic chemicals above some regulations which may lead to a leak into water supplies and therefore contaminate it.

It has not much to do with coal, more to do with oil and natural gases

Because of fracking now making it accessible to reach sources in vast number that were previously unacessible, it leads to decreases in gas prices

Hope this helps :)
