The correct answer: C

Adaptive radiation can be defined as the process by which organisms diversify rapidly into new species from a common ancestral species. Any change in the environment conditions creates new challenges and the species become adaptable to the changes, survive and reproduce to increase in population.

The nervous system makes you thirsty. The integumentary system makes you sweat.

The hypothalamus is part of the nervous system and controls vegetative functions, such as hunger, thirst and body temperature. When you run a race, your body starts to lose fluids due to sweat. At that moment the nervous system (through the hypothalamus) trying to maintain homeostasis in your body signals that you are thirsty.

As already mentioned above, when you participate in a race you start to sweat. This is a reaction of the integumentary system, through the skin, releasing fluids to regulate your body temperature.

victus00 [196]

The longmenshan fault is in china. This fault was created when two tectonic plates collided with each other, resulting in the rise of mountains next to the sichuan basin. This fault is most likely a reverse fault.

A reverse fault is a fault that exists in areas that are undergoing compression in which the rock on top of the fault plane is moved upward relative to the rock under the fault plane. A reverse fault is completely different from normal faults and it reduces the faulted section of rock.

Why did bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains?
Sergio [31]

Answer:

Due to the presence of limited number of species.

Explanation:

Bear island provide a great opportunity to decipher entire food chains because this island has many animals species which interact with each other or depend on one another due to the presence of less animals for feeding purpose. This island is isolated from the rest of the world so it provide a great opportunity to study the entire food chains that are present at that island. There is less number of species so knowing about their feeding choices is easier for the ecologists.
