When I eat my chicken nuggets to get their energy I'm performing which life process? Respiration

Movement
Growth

As trees get energy and nutrients they get bigger. Getting bigger is an example of:

When I smell (using my senses) chicken nuggets I start salivating. This is an example of

When humans use oxygen to release the energy stored in food, we produce carbon dioxide, which is waste. We breathe out this WASTE, which is an example of which life process? *

In this process humans, like any other animals, use oxygen to release the stored chemical energy in food so they can use this energy. The process of releasing energy stored in food is called: *

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
