Answer:

Option D, the mountain receives lake-effect snow.

Explanation:

Mount McKinley is the center of Denali and it is also the part of Alaskan Range of mountain peaks  which is surrounded by low lands. This mountain has extreme weather variations which is entirely different from the areas of south central Alaska.

However the lake at the base reduces the rate of increase of temperature at the base of Denali. It is so because the angle at which the lake water contacts the Denali mountain , decreases the  increase in temperature.

Hence, option D is correct

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It <u>i</u><u>nhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep. </u>

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The <u>density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish</u><u>.</u> By <u>predating on algae eating fishes</u>, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.

Which of the steps in this sequence of events is an example of mitosis at work?
taurus [48]
<span>The bruise slowly disappears as the arm heals.

</span>
<span>The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size.
