How does the structure of the earth affect plate tectonics

Biology
1 answer:
azamat3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Slab pull occurs where older, denser tectonic plates sink into the mantle. As these older sections of plates sink, newer and less dense sections of plate are pulled along behind. Sinking in one place leads to plates spreading apart in other places. Earthquakes and volcanoes are primarily found at plate boundaries .

As a character of all living things, homeostasis relates most directly to which of the following biological themes
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

As a characteristic of all living things, homeostasis relates most directly to which of the following biological themes?

A.) Interacting systems.

B.) Stability.

C.) Evolution.

D.) Scale and structure.

Correct: B.) Stability.

During homeostasis the body maintains a constant internal balance (stability) in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc. Cells in a multicellular organism become specialized for particular tasks and communicate with one another in order to maintain homeostasis.

Within the human body these are known as hormone cascades, where several complex steps occur- the tissues signal to one another with the use of hormones released by the endocrine system. The regulation (increase and decrease) of these secretions is achieved by negative feedback loops, where the release of certain substances during a cascade in turn halts the secretion of hormones at earlier stages.

what does the global conveyor belt reveal about the connectivity of water in the oceans? how could a change in the path of the g
skad [1K]
General paradigms of species extinction risk are urgently needed as global habitat loss and rapid climate change threaten Earth with what could be its sixth mass extinction. Using the stony coral Lophelia pertusa as a model organism with the potential for wide larval dispersal, we investigated how the global ocean conveyor drove an unprecedented post-glacial range expansion in Earth׳s largest biome, the deep sea. We compiled a unique ocean-scale dataset of published radiocarbon and uranium-series dates of fossil corals, the sedimentary protactinium–thorium record of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) strength, authigenic neodymium and lead isotopic ratios of circulation pathways, and coral biogeography, and integrated new Bayesian estimates of historic gene flow. Our compilation shows how the export of Southern Ocean and Mediterranean waters after the Younger Dryas 11.6 kyr ago simultaneously triggered two dispersal events in the western and eastern Atlantic respectively. Each pathway injected larvae from refugia into ocean currents powered by a re-invigorated AMOC that led to the fastest postglacial range expansion ever recorded, covering 7500 <span>km in under 400 years. In addition to its role in modulating global climate, our study illuminates how the ocean conveyor creates broad geographic ranges that lower extinction risk in the deep sea.</span>

Who is most likely to experience nasal regurgitation?
leonid [27]
The answer is young child.

Nasal regurgitation it's when the food regurgitates out of the nose.
This is more likely to occur in babies/ young children with some birth defects in the soft palate, or if they have a cleft lip. Those birth defects, usually, get fixed with surgery  when they are still children, that's why is less frequent after that age.

Pluto is not a planet because it does not have its own orbit. Which planet's orbit does it cross? Why will they never collide?
ratelena [41]
Hey there!

Pluto crossed Neptune's orbit. However, their paths do not actually cross, they just swap positions. 

Hope that helps!
