Testing Platismatia glauca could help scientists understand which pollutants have the largest effect on lichen populations. It also may help scientists understand the current pollutant levels in the atmosphere compared to the population of lichens on the trees. This information can help them more accurately predict population changes over time.
Platismatia is a genus of lichens that often is found in forests. Lichens may be beneficial for forests because they provide food and nutrients for other species by fixing atmospheric nitrogen
Explanation:
The lichens are the result of mutualism between photosynthetic organisms (algae or cyanobacteria) and fungi species.
1. ridges and trenches (either answer is acceptable)
2. mid-atlanitc
3. subduction zone
4. molten
5. oceanic trenches
Explain:
6. Rocks in the ocean eventually get subducted back into earths mantle due to slab pull. New rocks form at mid-ocean ridges as ridge forces two plates to diverge.
