<u>Answer: </u>

Ocean currents are like conveyor belts which transfer temperatures.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Weather of our planet Earth is largely driven by the oceans. They act as heat retaining solar panels.
  • They absorb majority of the radiation emitted from the sun. Land areas  absorb heat, the climate on earth helps to retain or radiate into the space after sunset.
  • Ocean currents are "movements of water in a continuous flow" triggered by temperature, earth’s rotation, surface winds.
  • They send warm water from the equator pointing towards the poles and "cold water from the poles" back to the tropic areas.

The changing ocean currents lead to climate cooling by bringing cooler breezes to places with higher climates. The cool breezes push the warm air out and leads to the drop of temperature

Native species of North America are often defined as those species that were present in North America before Europeans arrived i
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a) Yes! the American chestnut tree is a native species. The American chestnut tree was present before the Europeans arrived in North America in the 1600s. Since a native species has been defined as any species that was present in North America before the arrival of the Europeans, then it is a fact that the North American chestnut tree is a native species.

b) The chestnut blight is an invasive species that is native to east East Asia, and was accidentally introduced into North America around the early 1900s, when the Japanese chestnut was commercially cultivated in the United States.

c) Invasive species tend to proliferate at a very high rate because they lack some natural constraints in the new environment such as natural predators, competition, and as in the case of this chestnut blight; the host has no natural defense mechanism against them. These conditions allow them thrive more than they would in their natural environment, unchecked

d) Yes, I agree with this idea, albeit to some extent. The development of hybrid chestnut resistant to the chestnut blight will possibly return the forests back to how it was before the Europeans arrived in the 1600s, but the genetic conservation will be altered, since these new trees will be an hybrid of the old trees, and the forest won't truly be as it was before the 1600s

Why does the moon have a lower gravitational force than the sun
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Based on its mass, the sun's gravitational attraction to the Earth is more than 177 times greater than that of the moon to the Earth. ... However, the sun is 390 times further from the Earth than is the moon. Thus, its tide-generating force is reduced by 3903, or about 59 million times less than the moon.
