Populations of coastal lodgepole pine are separated along an environmental gradient of soil pH that changes from neutral pH near

the shoreline to extremely acidic pH approximately 8 km away from the shore. Populations of lodgepole pine inhabiting the ends of this environmental gradient (i.e. neutral pH versus extremely acidic pH soils) have diverged in a number of phenotypic characters, as well as cannot interbreed. What model of speciation is this pattern consistent with?

Answer:

Parapatric speciation  

Explanation:

There are different types of speciation. Parapatric speciation consists of new species evolving from a continuous distribution. That is, there is no physical barrier that might impede the gene flow,  in fact, it might continue during the speciation process.  

There is an environmental gradient that determines different phenotypes for different environmental conditions. One phenotype is more adapted to one of the distribution extremes than the other phenotype. In the exposed case, the environmental gradient is given by the differences in pH.

In the border between the environmental extremes, there is the primary hybrid zone, where both phenotypic forms might meet and hybridize.

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are
hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

How is energy from flowing water different from iron,petroleum or coal ?
Sati [7]
The energy produced from flow of water or "Hydro-power" is different to energy produced from iron, petroleum and coal as it is a clean and renewable form of energy. Hydro-power is derived from the kinetic energy of the natural flow of water like in the case of a water mill whereas the other forms listed require combustion of the fuel source that produces harmful gases leaving a negative impact on the environment. Also, hydro-power is one of the cheapest forms of energy production.  
However, it should be noted that large-scale production of electrical energy from flowing water known as "Hydroelectric Power" uses man-made dams to store water in lakes as a source of potential energy. These dams can also have a negative impact on the environment as the natural flow of water is restricted. Some scientists also suggest that the construction of a dam leads to an increase in the number of earthquakes in and around the area of construction.
