Answer:

Before going into the specific biome and ecosystem where I live, let´s talk a bit about what both of these words, what differentiates them and what makes them specific.

A biome is clasiffied, according to National Geographic as a specific region on the planet that is characteristic for the species, both plant and animal, that live on that particular region. In Biomes, abiotic factors, such as light, temperature, presence of water or absence of it, among other qualities, will determine what type of species from fauna and flora will live on that biome, but by description, the Biome focuses more on the living being, and not the abiotic elements. Another important thing is that Biomes can be conformed by various ecosystems.

An ecosystem, on the other hand, is the interaction that exists, on a specific region, between both living and non-living things and that are dependent on an environmental condition. While a Biome is characterized for being a specific geographic region where plant and animal life live, there can be multiple ecosystem within a single, or multiple biomes.

In my case, my biome is a rainforest region of Colombia, on the Andes´ cordillera, where temperature is really low, humidity is really high but there are no seasons and therefore climate is maintained almost constant all the time. These conditions allow for our ecosystems to be rich in water sources,  plenty of rock formations, and plentiful of woods, plant species, fungus and microorganisms, as well as different animal types like birds, bugs, rodents, and other such small animals. We do not have big animals in our biome, or on our ecosystems either.

Morgarella [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u>

There had once been land bridges separating the continents.

Option: (A)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Alfred Wegener proposed the 'theory of continental drift' of earth’s land due to ocean.
  • In this theory, he mentioned that due to some geographical reason and climate reason the continents got cracked and splits into many parts and drifted way in the water.
  • This might be the 'reason for the fossils' of the same organism occurred in different parts of the world.
  • Theory was firstly not accepted by the scientist. He was geologist and meteorologist. Transmission of fossils is proof of evolution on earth.

Which of the following correctly lists speeds from slowest to fastest?
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Earth rotates on its axis at an average speed of 1700 km/hr. That seems like a really high speed, however, we orbit the sun at around 107.000 km/hr.

And going even further, our entire solar system orbits the Galactic Center of the Milky Way at an average of 828.000 km/h.

Our entire galaxy also moves, although its hard to determine its exact speed. Scientists believe that the Milky way moves at 2.2 million km/h relative to the CBR (Cosmic Background Radiation) that its present everywhere across the universe.
