Why do coastal cities tend to have more moderate climates than cities in the middle of continents?
Debora [2.8K]
The correct option is B.
Coastal cities usually have large bodies of water around them while cities in the middle of continent have land masses surrounding them. One of the unique property of water is its relative high heat specific capacity. It takes a lot of heating before there will be significant change in the temperature of water, thus, cities around water bodies tend to experience more stable temperature. Land masses on the other hand does not absorb heat like water, thus, there is higher rate of climate fluctuation.

how are mutations continually being generated in a population (what are some of the causes of mutatuions?) explain
vampirchik [111]
Some causes could be the mother smoking, drinking, doing drugs etc. Or even simply her body doesn’t fully accept the baby growing inside her so it acts out against it. Sounds strange but it happens. Also if the mother is sick with Zika or another virus, it can harm the baby’s growth.

In what ways are mammalian lungs adapted for their fuction?​
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: The lungs are well supplied with blood due to lots of capillaries covering the alveoli, constantly maintaining a large diffusion gradient, air is able to pass easily down this gradient due to the alveoli having very thin walls (one cell thick).

                     or

The alveoli are adapted to make gas exchange in lungs happen easily and efficiently. Here are some features of the alveoli that allow this: they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick)

Hope this helps......... Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!! :D
