If you possess an alcoholic beverage that has been opened,
has a broken seal, or has had some of the contents removed in the passenger
compartment of the vehicle, you will be charged with a fine up to $500. It is a
traffic infraction for a person to drink or open alcoholic beverages container in
vehicle on highway.
A. Nonnative species that are superior competitors
The correct answer is option (A) the fossil record.
Coordinated stasis refers to the stasis or the no evolutionary changes in the organisms for millions of years, which is followed by extinction and formation of the new species.
Fossil records have the evidence of ecological and evolutionary stability in the species over a long period of geological time scale separated by intervals of abrupt change. The best example of this being the animals of the Middle Devonian Hamilton group. Thus, fossil record is the only source of record showing this long period of stasis and separated by periods of abrupt changes in the species due to environmental pressures.
Answer:
The ecological footprint is a method promoted by the Global Footprint Network to measure human demand on natural capital, i.e. the quantity of nature it takes to support people or an economy.[2][3][4] It tracks this demand through an ecological accounting system. The accounts contrast the biologically productive area people use for their consumption to the biologically productive area available within a region or the world (biocapacity, the productive area that can regenerate what people demand from nature). In short, it is a measure of human impact on the environment.
Footprint and biocapacity can be compared at the individual, regional, national or global scale. Both footprint and biocapacity change every year with number of people, per person consumption, efficiency of production, and productivity of ecosystems. At a global scale, footprint assessments show how big humanity's demand is compared to what Earth can renew. Global Footprint Network estimates that, as of 2014, humanity has been using natural capital 1.7 times as fast as Earth can renew it, which they describe as meaning humanity's ecological footprint corresponds to 1.7 planet Earths.[1][5]
Ecological footprint analysis is widely used around the world in support of sustainability assessments.[6] It enables people to measure and manage the use of resources throughout the economy and explore the sustainability of individual lifestyles, goods and services, organizations, industry sectors, neighborhoods, cities, regions and nations.[2]
