PLEASE HURRY !!!!!!How does plate tectonics affect climate?
(Points : 1)
(a)increased earthquakes

(b) changing ocean circulation

(c) extinction of animals

(d) changing earth's position on its axis

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is - (b) changing ocean circulation.

The ocean currents are very important when it comes to the climate. The movement of the tectonic plates though, over time, is changing their patters. The changes appear because of the movement of the land masses, so there can be situations where the ocean currents are interrupted by a moving land mass, or more space to be opened up for an already existing ocean current with the moving away of a land mass of its path. Those movements and spaces in the water bodies are affecting the direction and the temperature of the ocean currents, and those changes will reflect on the climate on the regions that they are influencing.

Answer 2
Answer: at human scale by increased earthquakes and at the geological scale by changing ocean circulation

Which process temporarily disrupts homeostasis because it increases an already high concentration of chemicals in the cell?

Answers

When cells in a body are not working properly and normally, they cause disruption in the body homeostasis.

Homeostatis is characterized as balance in the body but when there is any disturbance in the body, it breaks down the balance and cause imbalance. For example in the case of diabetes in which body fails to maintain the good amount of glucose in blood which results in imbalance the body which is why diabetic patients are asked to maintain and monitor their body sugar level to maintain homeostatis.


When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic balance is disrupted. Diabetes is a good example of this.

The Earth has three main climate zones because of the differences in latitude and which of the following? A. The amount of precipitation received.
B. The distribution of sunlight.
C. The oceans' currents.
D. The prevailing winds.

Answers

The differences in latitude and the distribution of sunlight on earth is the reason there are three main climate zones. 

The Earth has three main climate zones because of the differences in latitude and the distribution of sunlight.

Further explanation

Climate is the average weather conditions in an area for over a long period. Three major climate zones on Earth are:

1. Polar zone

The characteristic of this polar climate is cool summer and long extremely cold winter. The polar climate has a freezing climate and most of the time below zero degrees. The farther north of Canada, Europe, and Russia are the area that categorizes in this polar zone.

2. Temperate zone

The temperate climate zone lying between 23.5 degrees and 66.5 degrees north and south latitudes. Temperate climate zones experience warm to hot summers and cool winters, with the greatest temperature variations throughout the year.  

3. Tropical zone

The regions between the equator and the tropics are tropical zone. In this zone, the temperature is warm, has the most rain and little temperature variation. The climate is hotter here because the Sun’s light is directly overhead at the equator. An area in this zone has lush plants and trees and varied animals.

water must rise to the top. What causes water to rise to the top of the ocean?*
It is forced upward by underwater mountain ranges
It cools down and dissolves additional salt
It is brought upward by organisms that live in the ocean
It becomes less dense than the surrounding water

Answers

Answer: D it becomes less dense than the surrounding water

Explanation: when the water becomes colder and saltier it becomes more dense so the less dense water rises to the top.
