Why is it necessary for cells to be different shapes and sizes?
Cells have different shapes and sizes to fulfill specific functions within an organism. The shape and size of a cell determine its ability to perform certain tasks, such as movement, absorption, or secretion. This diversity allows for the efficient functioning of different tissues and organs in multicellular organisms.
Can you describe 3 clues that support the idea of continental drift?
Fit of the continents: The way the continents' coastlines fit together like puzzle pieces suggests they were once connected. Matching rock formations: Similar rock formations, mountain ranges, and geological features on different continents provide evidence of a shared history. Fossil evidence: The presence of the same fossils on continents that are now separated by vast oceans indicates that they were once part of the same landmass.
Do plates and crustal plates differ?
No, plates and crustal plates are the same thing. They refer to the large, rigid sections of the Earth's lithosphere that move around on the semi-fluid asthenosphere beneath them. These plates are made up of both oceanic and continental crust and are responsible for the movement of continents and the formation of geological features like mountains and earthquakes.
Are tectonic plates big?
Yes, tectonic plates are large sections of the Earth's lithosphere that vary in size but can be as big as entire continents. These plates float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below, and their movement is responsible for phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
How did fossils provide evidence for continents drifts?
because if the same fossils were found in the same spot but on two different continents and if you put the continents together like a puzzle and the fossils were in the same spot, it would mean the continents drifted apart.
What can you tell by comparing the shapes of the continents with the shapes of the earth's plates?
Comparing the shapes of continents with the shapes of Earth's plates can provide insights into past plate movements. The jigsaw-like fit of continents, such as South America and Africa, indicates that they were once connected and have since drifted apart due to plate tectonics. Similar shapes of continental margins or continental shelves can suggest that they were once part of the same landmass before separating.
What are shapes that are the same shapes and sizes called?
Congruent
Are continents same as plates?
No. There can be multiple plates within one continent.
Are continents and plates not the same?
No, continents and plates are not the same. Continents are large land masses that form the Earth's surface, while tectonic plates are pieces of the Earth's lithosphere that move and interact with each other, causing geological phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Continents are located on top of tectonic plates and can be made up of one or more plates.
Polygons with the same shapes and sizes?
... are said to be congruent.
Shapes that are the same shape but different sizes?
similarity
What is the definition of similar shape?
similar shapes are shapes that have the same angles but are different sizes.
What are two shapes that are the same shape but are different sizes called?
They are said to be similar shapes and have the same interior angles.
What is two shapes that are different sizes called?
If they are the same shapes but differ only in size, then they are SIMILAR shapes. Otherwise, they are simply different shapes.
Cells can be different sizes and shapes but they have all the same?
Organelles is a possible answer.
Having the same shapes and sizes?
A figure that has both same size and shape is congruent.
What are figures that have the same shape but diffrent sizes?
Providing that they have the same angles they are said to be similar shapes
