~fourth largest plate ~includes parts of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans

~subducts below the Eurasian Plate on the west side

~ the Arabian and Somali Plates form boundaries with it

What is the name of the tectonic plate described above?

A)

African Plate

B)

Eurasian Plate

C)

North American Plate

D)

Indo- Australian Plate

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Option (A)

Explanation:

The African plate is usually referred to as the fourth major (largest) tectonic plates that cover the continent of Africa and a portion of both the Atlantic and Indian ocean.

This plate shares a convergent plate boundary with the Eurasian plate towards its western side, where the African plate being denser subducts below the lighter Eurasian plate

It shares a boundary with the two smaller plates namely the Somalian and the Arabian plate towards its eastern side.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Answers

If a segment of one side of a DNA molecule has 500 adenine bases, then the other side of the same DNA molecule has 500 thymine bases. There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA. Adenine and Thymine are two of them. The other two bases are Guanine and Cytosine. The order in which these four bases is read is responsible for telling a cell how to make the proteins that it needs to use to function properly. For example, the bases, in a certain order, will tell the cell to create the protein responsible for transferring oxygen in the bloodstream

Which of the following is a difference between food chains and food webs?Food webs contain both plants and animals, but food chains contain only plants.

Food webs separate organisms by trophic level, but food chains do not.

Food chains show energy flow in an ecosystem, and food webs do not.

Food chains are linear, while food webs are complex.

Answers

Answer:

Option D, Food chains are linear, while food webs are complex.

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear organization in which the producer lies at the first stage followed by consumer organisms lying at primary, secondary and tertiary stages of food chain.

While in a food web, there can be several interlinked food chains or there can be an organism within the food web which is part of several food chains at an instance. Hence, the linearity of organization cannot be retained in case of food web thereby making it more complex than the food chain.

Hence, option D is correct.

Both food chains and food webs contain plants and animals so it is not A.

Food chains separate by trophic level not food webs so it is not B

***Food chains show energy flow by each trophic level and food webs do not therefore it is C***
