Answer:

The action of the shifting continental plates of Earth has important effects on the course of speciation  of living organisms by reproductively isolating populations or allowing previously separated populations to interbreed..

Explanation:

The formation of geological barriers such as mountains special cause of allopatric type, these barriers cause isolation which prevents two or more groups from mating each other regularly and finally there is speciation. On the other hand  the movement of continental masses for example can cause the union of islands that allows a new genetic crossing between populations.

Two cities are separated by 200 miles. City X has an altitude of 122 meters and City Y has an altitude of 260 meters. Calculate
OleMash [197]

Answer: 0.69 m/ mile.

Explanation:

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y = \dfrac{\text{Altitude of City Y - Altitude of city X}}{\text{Distance between two cities}}\times100\%

Given: Two cities are separated by 200 miles.

City X has an altitude of 122 meters.

City Y has an altitude of 260 meters.

The altitude gradient between two cities X and Y =

\dfrac{260-122}{200}=0.69\text{m/ mile}

Hence, the altitude gradient between the two cites = 0.69 m/ mile.

Why is it important to prevent gorillas from becoming extinct?
krek1111 [17]
Gorillas are a predator. They eat food and rarely ever get killed for food. But if we take away their habitat by making buildings and houses then they will die for other causes like hunger. If the gorillas go extinct then the food change will get all messed up. The food they normally eat will over populate meaning the food gorillas eat (like fruit) will over populates and take over the area. That means it will start to take up the space that other plants need to grow. The other plants that other animals will need to eat will slowly start moving away because their food is dying. They will start to go somewhere else and mess up that habitat too. Those animals will eat the food needed by the animals that lived there originally and food will become scarce for animals that all need the same type of resources.
