slab pull

Explanation:

When the more dense crust dives into the asthenosphere, it continues to pull the rest of the crust with it. This is called slab pull.

The pulling effect of a subducting plate on the rest of the plate is known as slab pull.

  • In describing plate tectonics and movement of different plates, the term slab pull is frequently used.
  • It is used to illustrate the dragging of a plate mass on all its part.
  • A slab is a lithospheric plate.
  • At a subduction margin, colder plates will sink because they are more denser.
  • The whole mass of the plate moves down regardless of how rigid and brittle they are.

The answer is seasonal changes.

<span>Animals that live in taiga biomes had to adapt to seasonal changes, by changing their fur or feather color. For example, snowshoe rabbit and arctic fox live in taiga and their fur color changes with environmental conditions. To effectively camouflage, their fur is white during the winter. That helps them blend into the snow. In the summer, where there is no snow, their fur is brown and similar to the soil color. This way they evade predators because it is more difficult for their predators to spot them.</span>

Why is this considered a nonscientific question?<br> "What color is a great horned owl?"
madam [21]

Answer:

The question "What color is a great horned owl?" does not require the scientific method to be used for getting an answer hence, it is not a scientific question. This question does not require any hypothesis or any other method. It can easily be answered by just looking at the horned owl.

A scientific question has to be a question from which a hypothesis can be made. The hypothesis can be tested through experiments and observations. Results and conclusions from the experiments would result in answering that question.
