Q: The van allen radiation belts are two regions in which energetic charged particles are trapped in earth's what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Figure 22.24 The Van Allen radiation belts are two regions in which energetic charged particles are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field. One belt lies about 300 km above the Earth's surface, the other about 16,000 km. Charged particles in these belts migrate along magnetic field lines and are partially reflected away from the poles by the stronger fields there. The charged particles that enter the atmosphere are replenished by the Sun and sources in deep outer space. Choices: - gravitational field - cloud cover - ionosphere - magnetic field A:
(A).
magnetic field

Q: The first few species to colonize a disturbed area are called what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The first few species to colonize a disturbed area are called pioneer species. In primary succession, pioneer species must be organisms that can live on bare rock. They usually include bacteria and lichens (see Figure below ). Along with wind and water, the pioneer species help weather the rock and form soil. Once soil begins to form, plants can move in. The first plants are usually grasses and other small plants that can grow in thin, poor soil. As more plants grow and die, organic matter is added to the soil. This improves the soil and helps it hold water. The improved soil allows shrubs and trees to move into the area. Choices: - producer species - original species - colonization species - pioneer species A:
(A).
pioneer species

Q: Plants can absorb inorganic nutrients and water through their root system, and what gas from the environment? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: CHAPTER SUMMARY 31.1 Nutritional Requirements of Plants Plants can absorb inorganic nutrients and water through their root system, and carbon dioxide from the environment. The combination of organic compounds, along with water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight, produce the energy that allows plants to grow. Inorganic compounds form the majority of the soil solution. Plants access water though the soil. Water is absorbed by the plant root, transports nutrients throughout the plant, and maintains the structure of the plant. Essential elements are indispensable elements for plant growth. They are divided into macronutrients and micronutrients. The macronutrients plants require are carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. Important micronutrients include iron, manganese, boron, molybdenum, copper, zinc, chlorine, nickel, cobalt, silicon and sodium. Choices: - hydrogen dioxide - nitrogen dioxide - chemical dioxide - carbon dioxide A:
(A).
carbon dioxide
