When the sun impacts weather, an interaction with the __________ takes place.

Our star—the Sun—is a bubbling, boiling ball of fire. See Picture 1 to the right. It constantly belches out great clouds of hot gas. This gas is all charged up with electricity, too. This stuff travels at astounding speeds, some of it right toward Earth! This means that Earth’s weather happens inside the Sun’s weather!

Thank goodness Earth’s magnetic field (see Picture 2) and atmosphere protect us from most of this blast. Otherwise, the Sun’s weather would be OUR weather. Yikes!

However, we are still affected by the Sun’s atmosphere and its violent activities. We call this part of our weather “space weather,” because it comes to us through space from the Sun.

LiRa [457]

Full question:

Thousands of years ago, giraffes with short necks were common within giraffe populations. Nearly all giraffe populations today have long necks. This difference could be due to

giraffes stretching their necks to keep their heads out of reach of predators

giraffes stretching their necks so they could reach food higher in the trees

a mutation in genetic material controlling neck size occurring in some skin cells of a giraffe

a mutation in genetic material controlling neck size occurring in the reproductive cells of a giraffe

Answer:

This difference could be due to:a mutation in genetic material controlling neck size occurring in the reproductive cells of a giraffe

Explanation:

The primary short-necked forms contained large, mutable populations. Following the selection pressure of desiccations and leaf deficiencies, those changes with longer necks and forelegs sustained and repeated preferentially. In this procedure, throughout generations, these large mammals have occurred, being acclimated to their unique environment .

Lamarckian theory illustrated giraffe neck metamorphosis by showing that consistent stretching gradually extended their necks, and that they then moved on these propitious longer necks to their offspring. Environment and other variations created the extirpation of the eurasian giraffids, but various African species endured.

15 points!! What does it mean when we say that water molecules break apart?

Mama L [17]

In the case of water, hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. ... However, because hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent bonds, in liquid water they form, break, and reform easily. Thus, the exact number of hydrogen bonds formed per molecule varies.
