The thorax is a very vital and important organ in the human body.

  • It is a structure that serves as a<u> </u><u>protective covering</u> for organs in the body such as<u> the lungs, the heart, some vital blood vessels</u> e.t.c

It is<u> false</u> that to <em>make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.</em>

  • When a person breathes in,  <u>the chest cavity expands (the volume increases) and the pressure in the thorax decreases.</u>

  • When a person breathes out, <u>the chest cavity decreases in size, and the pressure in the thorax increases. </u>

  • Therefore, we can see that the <u>process of breathing in humans</u>, follows the <u>principle of Boyle's Law.</u>

  • Boyle's law states that as the<u> volume increases there is a decrease in pressure</u> and <u>as the volume decrease there is an increase in pressure. </u>

Therefore, It is <u>false</u> that to <em>make a person breathe in, the volume of the chest cavity must decrease, creating a higher pressure in the thorax.</em>

Explain how the reduction in biodiversity can effect the ecological balance in the dam
hodyreva [135]
<span>Damming a river has a variety of effects on the freshwater ecosystem, more than just altering the flow from A to B.  Dams create calm bodies of water, changing overall temperature regimes and sediment transport, leading to conditions which tend to favour generalist species. Loss of specialist species, particularly endemics, changes the community structure and leads to biotic homogenization.  A dam will withhold sediment in the reservoir, not just decreasing the amount of substrate available to local freshwater species, but even impacting diadromous, estuarine and marine species much further downstream.  The competition between resident species for food and breeding sites will increase as damming isolates populations, and perhaps more importantly, damming completely restricts migratory fish species.  Isolation may lead to decreases in genetic diversity and therefore puts species at greater risk from disease.  All of these effects may be exacerbated by changes in the surrounding land use.  Overall, damming river flow will lead to both a loss of native species, but also an increase in exotic species which are more likely to become established in degraded habitats. For this reason, dams are one of the greatest global threats to freshwater biodiversity.</span>

Using at least three sentences, describe the process of weathering, and explain how it can happen physically or
hoa [83]

Answer: Chemical weathering decomposes or decays rocks and minerals. An example of this is water and limestone. Organic weathering happens when plant break up rocks. One the rock has been weakened and broken up it is ready for Erosion. This happens when rocks are picked up and move usually by water. Mechanical weathering breaks up rocks, this usually happens when water gets into cracks, freezes and expands the rock
