Answer from: arias333

The metric system is not based on the arbitrary construct of the human body; rather, on precise and definite standards.

Metric system uses base 10, just like our number system, so it is much easier to learn, remember and convert between units.

The prefixes used in the metric system are from Latin and Greek, and they refer to the numbers that the terms represent. (For example, "kilo" as in "kilogram" means 1 000 and "milli" means 1/1000). You can now easily calculate the number of millimeters in a kilometer. (how many inches in a mile?)

Metric system are interrelated in such a way that one unit is derived from other units without conversion factors. E.g. 1N (Newton) is the force needed to give 1kg(kilogram) of mass an acceleration of 1ms2 Try that with the 'English' units.

The metric system is used in most places around the world, so our use of it allows scientists from disparate regions to use a single standard in communicating scientific data without vocabulary confusion.

Answer from: Quest

what school and grade?

Answer from: Quest

events in order:

1. vishnu schist

2. zoroaster granite

3. bass limestone

4. hakatar shale

5. igneous intrusion

6. shinumo quartzite

7. dox sandstone

8. tapeats limestone

9. bright angel shale

10. muav limestone

11. temple butte limestone

12. redwall limestone

nonconformity

answer: the unkar group shows angular unconformity because the layers are turned at angle.

unconformity

answer: specifically the angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled. an angular unconformity occurs between the cambrian and precambrian rocks. the dox sandstone, shinumo quartzite, hakatar shale, and bass limestone have been filled.

disconformity

answer: the disconformities aremarked irregular lines between the sedimentaryrocks layers.

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).
