Charles Darwin understood that evolution was a slow and gradual process. By gradual, Darwin inferred a "stepwise" process with a

species evolving and accumulating small variations over long periods of time until a new species was born. If evolution is gradual, there should be a fossilized record of small, incremental changes on the way to a new species. But in many cases, scientists were unable to find these intermediate forms. In 1972, evolutionary scientists Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge proposed another idea of evolution. They suggested that species are generally stable, changing little for millions of years. This stable species becomes the victim of a rapid burst of change that results in a new species and that leaves few fossils behind.
Gould and Eldredge proposed this new theory called
A) gradualism.
B) catastrophism.
C) adaptive radiation.
D) punctuated equilibrium.

Few producers live deep below a Lake surface. Suggest an explain for this pattern.
never [62]
Producers generally require sunlight to make energy. Since there isn't sunlight at the bottom of the lake, they are unable to photosynthesize and produce energy they need to survive.

Answer:

B. Don't let the energy into the fridge.

Explanation:

Temperature is actually "heat density." It is proved that warm air contains more heat per gram than cold air. When we open the door, and hot air gets mixed up, we increase the heat density in the refrigerator and decrease it in the room.

Radiation is also a small effect at room temperature. It can glow in the infrared. When warm and cold air is side by side or mixed up, they are dipped in each other's radiation.

Warm air has more heat and therefore glows brighter while cold air gains energy and warms up. It loses more power from radiation and cools. So, if we want to keep our fridge cold, we have to avoid letting heat into the refrigerator.
