D

The largest contrast in temperatures between cells, which forms jet streams, occurs between the Ferrel and Polar cells, and especially during Winter. This forms a strong polar jet stream with high-speed that can exceed 120 km/h.

Explanation:

There are usually 3 circulating air masses from the equator to the poles on either hemisphere. These cells are called the Hadley, Ferrel and Polar cells. The polar jet stream occurs between the Ferrel and Polar cells while the subtropic jet stream occurs between the Ferrel and Polar cells. These jet streams occur due to the temperature difference between the air masses of the cells.

These jet streams are high altitude narrowing blowing winds. They occur in the tropopause and blow at speed of 120 to 250 mph.

dlinn [17]

Answer:

I. They produce many offspring in a short period of time II. They have very low survivorship early in life

Explanation:

The r-selected species are the ones who produce the maximum number of offspring as quickly as possible when the resources are abundant. The individuals of the r-selected species have a small body size and exhibit early maturity. They have a short life span and provide little or no parental care to the young ones. Therefore, the survival chances of the young ones in the early stages of life are very low.

These species are found in variable, temporary, or unpredictable environments. Some examples of r strategists are insects, such as mosquitoes, and common weeds, such as the dandelion that produce a large number of offspring as the favorable growth conditions arrive.

What is the difference between hatcheries and fisheries
djverab [1.8K]

Hatcheries provide artificial shelter for fish versus the natural shelter found in a stream.

Compared to hatchery fish, wild fish are usually more successful at surviving the rigors of the natural environment long enough to reproduce. Fewer than 1% of the smolts released from the hatchery return home to spawn.
