Well as a population grows, resources become scarcer to accommodate for the growing population. So either the Minnows leave to different areas or they fight for the resources. I have finished BIO a few months ago(maybe more idk) so if I’m incorrect I do apologize, but good luck anyway. :)
If the atoms that are bonding have identical electronegativities, then it's a completely nonpolar covalent bond. This doesn't happen in the real world unless the two atoms are of the same element. In a practical sense, any two elements with an electronegativity difference less than 0.3 is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
As the difference between the atoms increases, the covalent bond becomes increasingly polar. At a polarity difference of 1.7 (this changes depending on who you ask) we consider it no longer to be a covalent bond and to be the electrostatic interactions characteristic in an ionic compound.
Just so you know, you shouldn't take these values as exact. ALL interactions between adjacent atoms involve some sharing of electrons, no matter how big the difference in electronegativity. Sure, you wouldn't expect much sharing in KF, but there's a little sharing of electrons anyway. There's certainly no big cutoff that happens at a difference of 1.7 Pauling Electronegativity units.
Answer:
a. A natural geological challenge that exists in my environment is a fault zone known as the San Andreas Fault. It's a major geological landmark where two tectonic plates meet in California. People in my area are prepared for the event of an earthquake by packing emergency clothes, food, water, shelter, etc. in the event of a major earthquake. Scientists believe that California is past due for a major earthquake in the 6.0-8.0 range that could happen any day now. Hope this helps :)
