The correct option is C.
Scientists believed that the earth tectonic plates are in constant motion, this motion is slow and its rates vary. The motions of the tectonic plates are caused by the convection current which is found in semi molten mantle. The convection current are created by heat within the earth surface. When a semi molten rock is heated, it become less in density compared to its surrounding and thus rises up. When the less dense molten rock reaches the crust above, it spread out and carries the tectonic plate above with it. When the molten magma cools down, it sinks and the whole process is repeated leading to continuous movement of the tectonic plates.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates

How does the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation contribute to the overall amount of carbon dioxide?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Forests store large amounts of carbon. When fossil fuels are burned, carbon from dead and decayed plants, animals and phytoplankton that lived hundreds of millions of years ago (before dinosaurs existed), is released into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide. .

Give Jeason: si System is accepted by all nations in the world.<br>​
zubka84 [21]

it's very practical, because it's on base 10, so conversion between stuff like meters to kilometer is always just a multiplication with 10 to some power

like 1 km = 1000m (10³m)

or 1 m = 10^-3km = 0.001km

same reason for other SI units.

except time, that's base 60, or 12, or 24. that's more complicated, but there isn't any real competition
