<span>Fossil fuels include coal, gasoline, diesel fuel, propane and natural gas. All of these fuels were created as organisms decayed and released carbon-rich compounds into the surrounding soil and rock over thousands of years. Humans access these resources through a variety of means, including drilling deep holes and mining coal from pits. Additionally, a process called “fracking” is used to remove reserves that are otherwise difficult to access. Fracking injects high-pressured water into bedrock to free the oil and gas inside. If the chemicals from the process contaminate the water table, widespread environmental damage may occur.In addition to the pollution of the air and creation of greenhouse gases, petroleum products can cause environmental damage when they're spilled into the environment. When this occurs in the ocean, the spilled oil can coat great swaths of the water surface, killing a high number of plants and animals.

Based on the information in the chart, what can we conclude about the functionality of various sized beaks.
denis23 [38]

The correct answer is - B. Beak size determines what the bird can eat.

The beak of a bird can come in many different shapes and sizes. It can be pointy, long, short, rounded, scythe-like, thin, thick... All of those shapes and sizes have a specific role, and that role is to enable the bird to feed itself with certain type of food source. Every food source requires certain type of beak in order for the bird to be efficient in getting its nutrition, so depending on hat the bird eats, we can easily see a pattern in the beaks, where birds that eat nuts have one strong and shorter beak, the ones that eat warms and insects have thin, pointy one, the predator birds have claw like, sharp beak...

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an):_________
Tasya [4]

A species that humans bring to an area where it did not previously occur is a(an): exotic species.

Exotic species are those that exist outside of their native geographic range, also known as alien, nonnative, nonindigenous, or introduced species. Exotic species are those that people have purposefully or accidentally introduced into ecosystems outside of the ones in which they have evolved. These introductions undoubtedly happen regularly in nature.

For instance, the Japanese native Kudzu (Pueraria lobata) was brought to the United States in 1876. Due to either a lack of imported individuals or inadequate adaptation to the ecosystem they join, the majority of attempts to introduce exotic species are likely to be unsuccessful. However, some species have preadaptations that can help them thrive even more in a novel setting.
