Answer:

The label A corresponds to Convergent boundary zones  

Explanation:  

When two oceanic plates collide, it occurs oceanic convergence. The thicker and older plate subduces under the other plate, and at this point, it starts the volcanic activity. As the thicker plate descends, it is heated and melted and its materials are incorporated into the mantle. The fast subduction originates magma that ascends to the surface by crevices. This makes place to the formation of grouped <u>volcanic islands</u>, t<u>he island arches</u>. Subduction zones coincide with deep-sea <u>trenches</u> or depressions in the ocean bed. The volcanic islands are arranged in a circumference arch shape, which is bordered by a fossa. Most of these are located in the western Pacific, where the pacific crust is older and thicker, and hence it submerges easier in the mantle.

Which statements could be categorized in the "Asexual" section of the Venn diagram? Check all that apply
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The right answer are : mitosis, diploid cells, and identical DNA.

Explanation:

The answers "two cell divisions" and "gametes" refers to a division by meiosis which is a sexual reproduction.

Asexual reproduction or asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction, which - as opposed to sexual reproduction - corresponds to the capacity of living organisms to multiply alone, without a partner, without involving the fusion of two gametes of opposite sexes. Asexual reproduction is observed in multicellular (animal and plant) and unicellular organisms. In botany, the term often used for the asexual multiplication of plants is vegetative multiplication. In all cases of asexual reproduction, the result is identical to the mother.

Explain in detail how galen, a physician during the middle ages, expanded on hippocrates’ theory of the four humors and explain
Ann [662]
<span>Hippocrates believed that there are four humors in human body which need balance for a healthy being. These were:
Blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile.</span>
Galen expanded the idea of the humors and introduced four temperaments which were these:
choleric (hot / dry), melancholic (cold / dry), sanguine (warm / moist), and phlegmatic (cold / moist).
Another expansion Galen did was that he gave each humor/temperament physical and psychological qualities and said that even the food items have an association with the certain humor, those foods can effect certain humor in certain ways.
