Where does a convergent boundary occur

DedPeter [7]

The answer is; C

Where the Pacific plate and North American plate collides is currently referred to as the ‘ Ring of Fire’. There are other plates colliding in the same convergent boundary – such as the Colcos plate. The area is referred to as the ‘Ring of Fire’ because the area is prone to high seismic activity contributing to approximately 90% of world earthquakes.

Where in the nephron would you expect to find aldosterone receptors?

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

zona glomerulosa

Explanation:

Aldosterone is synthesised in the adrenal gland's region zona glomerulosa, which is lying directly beneath the renal capsule.

It controls the excretion of electrolytes and intravascular volume primarily through its effects on distal tubules and cortical kidney collection ducts, in which it serves to increase potassium excretion and sodium reabsorption.

Hence, the correct otpion is zona glomerulosa.

Are humans influencing global climate change?

Paul [167]

<span>Evidence that human activities influence the global climate system continues to accumulate. Data indicate that Earth's surface temperature is rising. This increase can be attributed, in part, to human-caused increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. It is becoming apparent that these climatic changes are negatively affecting physical and biological systems worldwide.</span>

Match the following terms and definitions.

Talja [164]

1. Short-term hormonal influences on animal behavior usually occurring late in life - activational effects

2. A technique that associates a natural response to a stimulus to an unrelated stimulus; also called Pavlovian conditioning -- classical conditioning

3. The study of animal behavior in its natural environment - ethology

4. When an animal learns not to respond to a stimulus - habituation

5. Finding a solution to a once unsolvable problem - insightful learning

6. Learning that has taken place but is dormant until a situation requires it - latent learning

Explanation:

Activational effects are the sudden or immediate temporary transient effects of behavioral changes due to the influence of hormones, especially the gonodal or the sex hormones. The behavior change in male animals due to increase in male sex hormonal activity can be referred as activational effect.

Classical conditioning facilitates learning of a behavior when a conditioned stimulus is associated with an unconditioned stimulus leading to a conditioned response. Animal training by pairing a new unconditioned stimulus with an already known conditioned stimulus, a new conditioned response of behavior change can be observed.

Ethology refers to the scientific zoological study (includes both laboratory as well as natural field studies) of animals behavior with relation to their natural environment. It studies and compares about animal behavioral processes changes under various disciplines like ecology, anatomy, evolution etc.

Habituation is an associative learning process that results when an animal learns to resist a stimulus and not to respond to it after repeated exposure.

Insightful learning occurs when various parts of a problem is analyzed and their relationship is understood to arrive at the solution suddenly. Animals must look at a situation as a whole, observe and analyze it to solve the problem. Some animals like chimpanzees can learn through insightful learning

Latent learning occurs without any associated reinforcements. Animals learn new behavior through latent learning.

How do oceans regulate the climate?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
