Dr. Moore and his team have learned from GPS data that two continents with an ocean between them have been moving toward each other. Some students living on the coast of one of these continents don’t understand what is happening and they are worried that the continents will run into each other. How could Dr. Moore explain to them what is happening?

Dr. Moore can explain that this is a continental drift process and that it is an extremely slow process and therefore no one should be concerned.

Explanation:

Continental drift is a geographic phenomenon that allows continents to move and "walk" towards each other. It is true that this can make the continents shock and cause a great catastrophe that would make human life rich, but there is no need to worry. This is because this movement is extremely slow and would take thousands of years for the continents to collide.

Clara wrote the following hypothesis for an experiment about acidophilic bacteria. bacteria cells will stop dividing in a basic (alkaline) environment because of the high ph. which statement is the best way to restate the hypothesis so that it is more specific? growing acidophilic bacteria in some environments will cause the cells to stop dividing because of ph. if the ph of their environment is changed, acidophilic bacterial cell division will be affected. if the environment of acidophilic bacterial cells becomes alkaline, the bacteria will stop dividing. the more alkaline an environment, the less cell division will occur in bacteria.
