(A nebula)
is a cloud of gas (hydrogen) and dust in space. Nebulae are the birthplace biths. There are different types of nebula. An Emission Nebubla such as Orion nebula, glows brightly because the gas in it is energised by the stars that have already formed within it. 

(A star)
is a luminous globe of gas producing its own heat and light by nuclear reactions (nuclear fusion). They are born from nebulae and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. 

(red giant)
This is a large bright star with a cool surface. It is formed during the later stages of the evolution of a star like the Sun, as it runs
out of hydrogen fuel at its centre.

(red dwarf)
These are very cool, faint and small stars, approximately one tenth the mass and diameter of the Sun. They burn very slowly and have estimated lifetimes of 100 billion years. 

(white dwarf)
This is very small, hot star, the last stage in the life cycle of a star like the Sun. White dwarfs have a mass similar to that of the Sun, but only 1% of the Sun's diameter; approximately the diameter of the Earth. 

(Black holes)
are believed to form from massive stars at the end of their life times. The gravitational pull in a black hole is so great that nothing can escape from it, not even light. The density of matter in a black hole cannot be measured.

Answer:

The reason for this because no plant grows in no light area.

Explanation:

In the second answer, we can see that the pond is covered with water lilies which have larger leaves covering the large surface area of water, not allowing sunlight to pass through it. Sunlight is necessary to carryout photosynthesis, which means plant don't grow in no light condition. Hence, no plant grows in no light area.

Explain how salinity changes in sea water
timofeeve [1]
Temperature and density share an inverse relationship. As temperature increases, the space between water molecules increases—also known as density, which therefore decreases. If the temperature of water decreases its density increases, but only to a point. At a temperature of 4°C pure water reaches its maximum or peak density, cooled further it expands and becomes less dense than the surrounding water which is why when water freezes at 0°C it floats.

Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater.

Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice. Evaporation increases salinity and density while the addition of freshwater decreases salinity and density.

Peahens prefer to mate with peacocks that have the brightest and largest tail displays. The peacock’s tail is a disadvantage to
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Peacock with larger tails are most likely to produce more progeny.

Explanation:

Sexual selection is a type of natural selection wherein individuals with some specific genetic traits are preferred as a mate for interbreeding by the individuals of the opposite gender of the same species. For instance, in some species, males with large size have a greater chance to mate and pass on their genes to the progeny. This results in an increased frequency of the genes for the larger body size in population over time. Therefore, sexual selection results in the reproductive advantage for some individuals over others of the same species and sex.

In the given example, a peacock with larger tails is preferred as a mate by peahens and is able to produce more offspring. Due to its reproductive advantage, larger tails in peacocks are not selected against by natural selection.

Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?
mamaluj [8]
Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.
