One activity would be logging of trees, which could be selective or clear cut. It is done to provide wood for building houses and for pulp for paper primarily. A short term effect would be loss of habitat for forest wildlife and removal of vegetation and it could result in increased erosion if in a mountainous area. Loss of old growth forest possible too. Long term effect if re-forested could be partial restoration of habitat. Another activity is open pit mining whereby the land where the orebody is is cleared and mining creates sometimes large holes in the ground and removes old lake habitats for migratory birds and fish in the short term.The purpose of the mining is partly to provide metals to society.  The long term, if adequate reclamation of waste dumps is undertaken, can lead to extensive new grasslands on the dumps and forage for deer and moose and sometimes cattle. Oil production and transport on oceans can lead to oil spills such as occurred off Valdez in the 1980's or in the Gulf of Mexico recently  and the short term is soaking marine animals with oil and killing many of them and contaminating beaches and shorelines. Some clean-up can be done but the long term effects of this activity may still be unknown. The oil is for fossil fuel for internal combustion engines but it will need to be replaced by say, electric cars for the future ie to clean energy. Another general effect of this time, the use of fossil fuels is from global warming is creating more and more intense hurricanes such as occurred in the Caribbean this fall in Cuba, Florida, Dominca and Puerto Rico in particular with the result of widespread damage or destruction of people's houses, flooding, loss of power and costly repairs  and loss of life. Only by limiting the production of greehouse gases by mankind will there be a chance to reduce the incidence and intensity of such events.

Why is the ratio of male to female births roughly 50:50? help me please!!!
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

This is because of how reproduction works in humans. Male and female sex cells are formed by a process called meiosis, where the diploid chromosomes divide and separate. And so the ratio of male to female births is also 50:50.

oksano4ka [1.4K]
"The first and second hominids were able to mate and produce offspring, but the first and third hominids could not." <span>Although that might be the case, it might also not. "More similar" needn't be 'similar enough' (disregarding the fact that all homonid specimens involved could happen to share the same sex). </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids shared the same geographic location, while the third was isolated." </span>

<span>That information would be revealed by the geographic location they came from. </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids most likely became extinct before the third hominid species." </span>

<span>Perhaps or perhaps not. As ancestral lineages can survive for longer than descendant lineages, it needn't apply. Still, I suppose the non-existent law of averages provides some sort of justification for the use of "Most likely". </span>

<span>"The first and second hominids have a more recent common ancestor than the first and third hominids." </span>

<span>Assuming these are all in the same neat lineage, then the most recent common ancestor of the first and second is also the most recent common ancestor of the first and the third.</span>

What is the complex and non-linear process of energy flow between species known as? The complex and non-linear process of energy
Natalka [10]

Answer:Ecosystem Energy  

Nearly all of the energy that drives ecosystems ultimately comes from the sun. Solar energy, which is an abiotic factor, by the way, enters the ecosystem through the process of photosynthesis

The energy input, or energy that enters the ecosystem, is measured in Joules or calories. Accordingly, the energy flow is also called calorific flow.
