Dead skin cells are shed in thin sheets because they are held together by "spots" of proteoglycan reinforced by intermediate filaments. Such strong intercellular connections are called
A) tight junctions.
B) intermediate junctions.
C) desmosomes.
D) junctional complexes.
E) gap junctions.

Option C, desmosomes

Explanation:

Desmosomes are adhesive proteins that are found in the intercellular junction and maintain the mechanical strength of tissue by forming stable adhesive junctions between the cells . They are also known as adhering spots. Desmosomes can interact with the intermediate filaments of muscle cells and proteins to maintain tissue rigidity and structure. Apart from holding cells together, they are also responsible for regulating the biochemical signaling pathways.

Hence, option C is correct

explanation:

plate tectonics and volcanic euptions

over time, plate tectonic processes cause continents to move to different positions on the globe.

for example, britain was near to the equator 300 million years ago, and therefore was hotter than it is today. for further details look at our climate through time poster or online map.

the movement of the plates also causes volcanoes and mountains to form and these too can contribute to a change in climate.

mountain ranges formed by plate tectonics. large mountain chains can influence the circulation of air around the globe, and consequently influence the climate.   warm air might be deflected somewhere cooler by the mountains.
