4. Continents are made mostly of sandstone and granite. Oceans are made mostly of basalt. Using your understanding of density and basic plate tectonics, what is the result when these plates interact? In other words, which plate will be subducted (be forced under the other), and which will be pushed up? Or will there be no subduction? Make sure to write a type of plate in EACH box. Scenario
Plate subducted
Plate pushed up

This is one of the five kingdoms in the older biological succession. organisms in this kingdom are prokaryotic

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Glycogen is an energy-storage molecule in humans. a hormone that is called insulin controls the storage of glycogen in the liver. insulin is made up of amino acids.
