Had to look for the missing options and here is my answer.

The one that gives the best description of the most common way how material is added to the continental shelf is this: "Deposition of continental <span>sediments". This deposition includes biological, physical, and even chemical processes that occurred in a span of time. Hope this helps.</span>

What is the primary source of water stored in an aquifer?
ANEK [815]
Precipitation is the primary source of water stored in an aquifer. the correct option in regards to the given question is the first option. An aquifer is actually an underground layer of water that contains permeable rocks, gravel, sand etc. the water can be brought to the surface by making a water well. Hydrogeology is the study of aquifers and the way of water flow in the aquifers. The depth of the aquifers differs from area to area and the aquifers that are closest to the surface are used for drinking and irrigation purposes.

Question 7: What might be some implications of Robert Hazen’s experiments
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Robert Hazen’s studied enviromental and biological processes that might have been critical for life, and also for the formation of approximately two-thirds of Earth's mineral species (see Hazen et al., 2008; Gonzalez & Richards 2020) .

Explanation:

Hazen provided evidence about how first organic molecules were generated on the primitive earth millions of years ago. He observed that high-pressure hydrothermal vents may provide food for underwater ecosystems. It represents a piece of critical evidence on the origin of life.

You can read these articles that are certainly clarifying in the description of his experiments and discoveries:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that
kykrilka [37]

Explanation:

Why is it beneficial for an organism to have its tissues near its optimal temperature? List various functions or activities that may be affected if the body temperature deviates too far from the temperature optimum (which functions or activities are mediated by proteins)?

a.) Muscle-movements

b.) Digestion of food

c.) Growth and development

Just about every aspect of an organisms daily functions are governed by the actions of proteins, be they structural proteins that determine cell shape, motor-protein that move vesicles inside the cell or allow muscle cells to contract, or be they enzymes that catalyze the vast majority of chemical reactions a cell has to engage in.

It turns out that every living organism gives off some heat. The difference between endotherms and ectotherms is merely the rate at which this heat is produced by the organism.

In fact, even plants and bacteria produce some heat as they go through their daily lives. This is evident in early spring, when the earliest spring flowers manage to thaw themselves through a solid ice layer, or when you overturn a compost heap on a crisp fall day in which bacteria decomposers are very active you will see steam rising from the pile.

What source have we already discussed that can produce this heat given off by organisms to their environment?

a) negative delta G of energetically coupled reactions.

Endotherms take advantage in particular of cellular respiration to ramp up that heat given off from energetically coupled reactions due to the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

As a consequence, endotherms maintain highly elevated rates of cellular respiration compared to ectotherms

b.) lowering of activation energy by an organism's enzymes
