<span>By the late 1960s, scientists had developed the theory of plate tectonics based on a range of new evidence. Technological advances had helped reveal that the ocean floor was not essentially flat, as once assumed, but instead was marked by 50,000-kilometer-long (31,000-mile), 3,000-meter-high (9,800-ft) ridges and 11-kilometer-deep (7-mile) trenches. Scientists found striking patterns related to these features. They found that the youngest oceanic crust is located nearest the mid-ocean ridge and the oldest crust is nearest the trenches. They also detected a pattern of alternating magnetic polarity along the ocean floor, which emanated from the ridge tops. These two pieces of evidence, coupled with the fact that volcanic activity and island-building occurred most commonly at ocean trenches, suggested that new crust was created at mid-ocean ridges and destroyed at ocean trenches. Scientists Harry Hess and Robert Dietz used this evidence to revive and expand Holmes' convection theory into the theory they called "seafloor spreading." Finally, Wegener's notion of continental drift was coupled with a mechanism that could explain the movement of tectonic plates.</span>
Answer:
The consumption efficiency of huckleberry is high, like in forest ecosystem.
Explanation:
Huckleberry is a term mainly used to describe numerous variations of plants with different colored small berries. These are a rich source of nutrition for wild bears of Montana.
These plants are residents of acidic and infertile vegetative areas, that is why these species do not grow in Antarctica, central Greenland and parts of the high arctic.
Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
The correct answer is 1. hydrosphere and atmosphere interaction
That is because the ocean belongs to the hydrosphere while the air belongs to the atmosphere, and the process described is their interaction.
