Processes operating in the Earth system take place on spatial scales varying from fractions of millimeters to thousands of kilometers, and on time scales that range from milliseconds to billions of years.

Answer: Three immediate time scale of earth system are as follow-

  1. Pliocene- this age belongs to the modern Cenozoic er which was of about 3.5 million years old.
  2. Miocene- this age appears after Oligocene and before Pliocene, and was bout 16-18 million years old.
  3. Oligocene- this age also appeared in the Cenozoic and was about 10-10-12 million years old.

Two long term-time scale of earth system are as follows-

  1. Archaen- Archaen refers to the early proterozoic time, which was of about 1500 million years old. Rocks of Archaen are the oldest.
  2. Proterozoic- This refers to the time after Archaen, which was of about 1800-2000 million years old.

The three cycles on earth are as follows-

  1. The rock cycle- Here the rocks transforms from one form to another due to the changing pressure, temperature condition as well as crystallization and sedimentation.
  2. The water cycle- Here water is transferred from one place to another, interacting with the atmosphere, lithosphere and the hydrosphere.
  3. The carbon cycle- Here transfer of carbon takes place from one place to another.

Volcanoes are formed due to the presence of big mantle plumes as well plate tectonic movement. This activities depicts the on-going various earth processes, how it forms and affects within a system.

What feature of both true mosses and ferns makes it most surprising that they can survive for many generations in dry deserts? U
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Desert biomes are characterised by the presence of the arid conditions or with few or less amount of rainfall.

The plant groups called the bryophytes and pteridophytes are dependent on the water for their fertilization which allows completing their life cycle.

In the desert conditions provided in the question, the mosses and ferns survived for many generations as these plant groups produced sperms with flagella which helped the sperms to swim in the water provided by the 10-inch rainfall per year and reach the female gamete and fertilize the egg cell.

Thus, option-A is the correct answer.

Exotic pets, such as lizards and tarantulas, have increased in popularity. These animals are caught in the wild and sold as pets
vivado [14]

If hunted and sold, animals will have a lower chance of reproducing apart from not being there themselves, decreasing their population.



Having less species inhabiting an area, means less food for some predators. Which means that competition will occur among preators since food will be scarce.

Answer:


\boxed{\bf~B~and~c~are~possible~answers.}



Hope it helped,

During dehydration synthesis is 42 water molecules were made how many monosaccharides were joined together to make the complex c
netineya [11]

Answer:

43 monosaccharides will be joined together to make the complex carbohydrate.

Explanation:

The complex carbohydrates are synthesized by the joining of monosaccharide residues by glycosidic linkages.One glycosidic linkage joins two monosaccharide residues by the elimination of one molecule of water.

  In other words it can be said that elimination of one water molecule joins two monosaccharides.By the same way elimination of 42 molecules of water will result in the joining of 43 monosaccaride residues.
