Which of the following pieces of evidence supports the theory of plate tectonics?
A
the size and shape of Earth
B
the composition of Earth's layers
C
tectonic plates observed from satellite images
D
similar mountain ranges found on different continents
Similar mountain ranges found on different continents supports the theory of plate tectonics. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
What is the plate tectonic theory?Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that attempts to explain the formation of significant landforms on Earth as a result of the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
Where two continental plates clash, mountains are created. Due to their identical weight and thickness, neither plate will bury beneath the other. Instead, they fold and collapse, pushing the rocks upward to create a mountain range. Mountains will continue to rise in height as the plates continue to collide.

Which of these steps would help to reduce the chances of a mudslide occurring in a hilly region?
A
leaving the trees and other plant cover on the hillsides
B
removing all trees and plant cover from the hillsides
C
building fences at the bases of the hills
Answer:
Option A. Leaving the trees and other plant cover on the hillsides.
Explanation:
Mudslide: When a bulk of soil slides down a steep hill or mountain causing damage to the flora and fauna of the place.Mudslide leads to soil erosion in hilly areas.There are various causes of mudslide such as:Heavy rainfall that pushes the soil/mud down the hill.Gushing water or accumulated water absorbed by the soil reduces fiction and causes mudslide.Earthquake can also lead to mudslide as it shakes the ground and starts the downward movement of soil.Mudslide harms the trees, plants, vegetation, blocking roads, railway tracks, etc.One of the ways of prevention from mudslides is planting trees and grasses on steep hills. The roots of the plants and trees could grip and hold the soil together which could protect the soil from easily falling down the hill.For more information:

1. write a sentence that describes how the food changes in the stomach.
2. write a sentence that describes how the food changes in the small intestine.
3. explain what happens to digested food in the small intestine
4. write a sentence that describes what happens to digested food in the cell.
Answer:
The stomach stores swallowed food and liquid, mixes the food and liquid with digestive juice it produces, and slowly empties its contents, called chyme, into the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs most digested food molecules, as well as water and minerals, and passes them on to other parts of the body for storage or further chemical change. Specialized cells help absorbed materials cross the intestinal lining into the bloodstream. Explanation: hope i wasnt to late! good luck!

Answer:
d.galaxies are moving away from each other
Explanation:
"a" is incorrect because galaxies don't die per-say
"b" the big crunch is about how the universe might end
"c" is also incorrect because everything in our galaxy stays moving and if it were to stop moving it would shrink and if it were to speed up, it would get bigger (the explanation as to why "d" is the correct answer)

Which of the following statements is true about cells and their organelles?
A. Cells are living and the organelles that make them up are also living.
B. Cells are nonliving and the organelles that make them up are living.
C. Cells are living and the organelles that make them up are nonliving.
D. Cells are nonliving and the organelles that make them up are also nonliving.
Answer:
I love science here's a explanation of all of your choices
Explanation:
An organelle (think of it as a cell's internal organ) is a membrane bound structure found within a cell. Just like cells have membranes to hold everything in, these mini-organs are also bound in a double layer of phospholipids to insulate their little compartments within the larger cells.
A Therefore, cells not only make up living things; they are living things. Cells are found in all plants, animals, and bacteria. Many of the basic structures found inside all types of cells, as well as the way those structures work, fundamentally are very similar, so the cell is said to be the fundamental unit of life.
B The key principle is that the smallest unit of life is the cell. ... But anything that makes up a cell necessarily has to not be alive. So all of the organelles in a cell like the nucleus, mitochondria, and endoplasmic reticulum are all non-living
C A non-living thing is not organized into cell(s); a living thing is. Although both non-living and living things are essentially made up of molecules of elements and compounds, a living thing would be made up of biomolecules organized into structures of a cell.
D All living things are made of cells; the cell itself is the smallest fundamental unit of structure and function in living organisms. (This requirement is why viruses are not considered living: they are not made of cells. ... Cells are classified as prokaryotic or eukaryotic.

Answer:
Omosis
Explanation: If the water outside the cell has LESS water than inside, water will move from the inside of the cell to the outside. That is what happened to the Gummy Bear in the salt. The water had to move out of the Gummy Bear to “even out” the concentration of water. The Gummy Bear became smaller with less water to fill it up. So why didn’t the Gummy Bear in salt water get as big as the Gummy Bear in plain water? Since there was sugar in the water AND in the Gummy Bear, the water didn’t have to move as much to “even out” the concentration.

What do you mean by predators?A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.
Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. It is one of a family of common feeding behaviours that includes parasitism and micropredation and parasitoidism.
Predation involves four steps: search, recognition, capture, and handling. The possibility of co-evolution of predator and prey operates at each of these steps. Predators search the environment for acceptable prey.

Which is the best Prediction? (PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!! I WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST) (image below)
1. Prediction 1 is best. Two brown or gray foxes had a baby with a mutation in its genes for the white-fur trait. Because white foxes are more likely to survive, that baby survived long enough to pass on its mutation, so the white-fur trait became more common over generations.
2. Prediction 1 is best. White foxes are more likely to survive, so brown and gray foxes began to have offspring with mutations in their genes for the white-fur trait so that their offspring would have a better chance of surviving.
3. Prediction 2 is best. A fox could have been born with a mutation in its genes for the white-fur trait and lived for a little while. Because white foxes are more likely to die, it would have been more likely to die before it had offspring, so the final population will only have brown and gray foxes.
4. Prediction 2 is best. A fox could have been born with a mutation in its genes for the white-fur trait, but having a mutation in its genes would have caused it to die when it was born, so the final population will only have brown and gray foxes.
Answer:
i believe it's 1)
Explanation:
answer choice 1) makes the most sense to me because the white fox had to have had a mutation in it's genes-which all the answer choices say, but you have to remember that at one point in time they were the dominant 'race' or color because of the snowy environment so, seeing as how the lighter colored fox is more likely to survive, answer choice 1) is the correct answer
