What is their source? 
- they could be a part of a marketing scam 
- the key question is: how do they know? 
- <span> Who produced it and what background do they have?
- what other studies could the group have produced?</span>

Is the main point of the claim proven by evidence? 
- In order to figure out if something is reliable or not, you have to ask whether it makes sense and whether the conclusions were proven
- do the conclusions follow logically from what has been cited, or are they being drawn from evidence that doesn't support them at all? 

Do the sources have a bias? 
- That<span> doesn’t necessarily mean what they have to say isn’t reliable
- But think about whether they are a witness to facts or are just describing their opinion

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The longitude of the location of the ship is W

Explanation:

Here we have the time at the prime meridian as 2 pm while the time at the ship is 10 am. What this means is that the prime meridian is 4 hours ahead of the time of the location of the ship. Geographically, whenever a location is east of the prime meridian, it is ahead of the prime.

What is natural selection (not from google) give an example of what natural selection is
ruslelena [56]
Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.

For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.

So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.
