The nitrogen fixation is a very important process because it is the principal source of nitrogen in the marine environment for photosynthetic plants. Nitrogen is a growth limiting nutrient, that is very important for the growth of photosynthetic plants. During the process of nitrogen fixation, nitrogen is absorbed from the atmosphere and it is fixed by nitrogen fixing organisms.

<span>The nitrogen fixing performed by cyanobacteria and some archaea transforms nitrogen in the form of N2, which is very common, into the form NO3 and NH4, which are much less common. This is important because most ocean plants -- particularly the plankton that makes up the majority of oceanic plant life -- need nitrogen in order to transform sunlight into energy but cannot use it in the common N2 form. So the nitrogen fixation carried out by cyanobacteria and archaea transform nitrogen into a form in which it is usable by other ocean organisims.</span>

Explosions can occur when electricity ignites explosive gases in the air, such as pure oxygen, methane, or natural gas. true or
victus00 [196]

Answer: True

Explosions due to electricity occurs due the passage of electrical current into air, this results in the transfer of energy from electricity to air. Electrical energy   being a stimuli activates the molecules of air which leads to explosion. An explosion is a rapid event which involves release of energy in the form of gases and also destruction of surrounding entities. For explosion suitable fuel and combustion gases are required. Methane and natural gases acts as fuels whereas oxygen which facilitates combustion of these fuels.

Sandra is an avid hiker. She’s found three rocks while hiking near the Camden Gorge. Help her identify which type of rocks they
MaRussiya [10]

Rock A = It is a metamorphic rock that  experienced tremendous heat  and  pressure due to massive,  moving tectonic plates.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have been somewhat squished and transformed by heat and pressure. These rocks often have different layers as the rocks go through pressure and are literally look like rocks that have been piled up and then stuck together. The best indicator of this rock being a metamorphic rock is the wavy elongated stripes. The stripes are created from the different rock elements being pressed together over time.

Rock B = It is a sedimentary rock made  primarily from lithification of  organic material.

Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been formed by different substances that come together due to the different weather conditions. The best indicator of this being a sedimentary rock is how the rock came together and looks like a bunch of shells were glued together.

Rock C = It is an igneous rock that  was formed above  Earth’s surface.

Most igneous rocks have smooth outer layers. These rocks are often made with solidified magma from volcanoes. The best indicator of this being an igneous rock is the indication of it being a solidified piece of magma.
