Answer:
B. At the edge of the plates
Explanation:
<u>Gravity </u>is the principal <u>driving force </u>of <u>plate tectonics </u>(second one is convection<u>)</u>. It causes different density plates to move on the Earth's surface. However, when a <u>denser plate coincides the less denser plate, the high density plate subducts</u> below the <u>lesser density plate</u>. The process, therefore, is called <u>subduction</u>. During this collision of plates, <u>shearing resistance increases</u> and all <u>pressures come at the edge of the plate</u>. The process continues and the lithosphere drags the rest of the plate. The portion of plate below the less denser plate then reaches the mantle. Here, the edge of plate is destroyed due to high temperature of mantle as well as pressure.
The correct answer is - predator species in a community.
In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.
The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.
If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.
Work is said to be done when an object moves due to a force applied. Work is calculated by multiplying the force applied and the distance traveled due to the force. It is expressed as:
W = Force x distance
W = 84 J = F (7.0 m)
F = 12 N
Hope this answers the question.
Answer:
B. The amount of lee that melted.
Explanation:
The dependent variable is more of what results from an action during an experiment. It is actually what is being tested for. In the experiment, the scientist seeks to understand the effect of salts on melting point of ice. He selects the different salts which can cause a ice to melt (independent variables) then he sets up to find out the effect of the salt on the ice.
He cannot control how much ice will melt. The properties of the salts would determine the extent and rate of the dissolution of the ice pack. This is the dependent variable which relies on the nature of the salt.
