Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The best answer to the question you have presented above is letter a. The statement that is NOT an example of homeostasis is 'After plunging into icy-cold water, Gary's core body temperature rapidly drops'. This is because it should increase rather than decrease.

a) After plunging into icy-cold water, Gary's core body temperature rapidly drops.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process by which our bodies find and reach equilibrium, could be physical or chemical, when you get into icy-cold water, for there to be homeostasis your body should get hotter in order to keep its normal temperature, but often the body tempereature just drops because there´s not much the vody can do against that.

Which of the following is a term used to describe the deep and flat portions of the ocean on either side of a mid-ocean ridge? A. abyssal plain B. guyot C. seamount D. trench

Answers

Seamount and guyot are types of mountain - so we can reject those options, since we're looking for a flat surface, not a mountain.

A trench is a narrow ditch, or depression so also it's not a plain

The correct answer is abyssal plain - it's a plain typically next to a continental rise (leading to the continent) and a mid-ocean ridge.
