From the map displaying the average temperatures in 2005 compared to the average temperatures from 1951 to 1980, what can you in
fer about the average temperatures in the region of Central America? A) The temperatures in Central America were 0.1 to 1.5 degrees higher, on average. B) The temperatures in Central America were 1.0 to 2.0 degrees higher, on average. Eliminate C) The temperatures in Central America were 0.1 to 1.5 degrees lower, on average. D) The temperatures in Central America were 1.0 to 2.0 degrees lower, on average.
Answer: A) The temperatures in Central America were 0.1 to 1.5 degrees higher, on average.
Explanation:
No map is attached but this should be the correct answer.
Studies show that since 1951 temperatures in Central America have risen by around 0.5°C and will probably rise by another degree before the year 2050.
This rise in temperatures means that Central America is one of the more vulnerable areas to climate change in the world with Honduras for instance being said to be the most affected nation by climate change from the years 1994 to 2013.
These gaps are represented by the periods from where there are no relevant fossils records.
Romer's gap is given by the paleontologist i.e Alfred Romer, who was the first to coin it. Romer's gap spanned from about 360 to 345 million years ago, with the corresponding gap to first occur over the period of 15 million years of the Carboniferous Period.
Du to the distinctions found in the geochemistry of the rocks that did not favor the development of the fossils may be due to the evolution of history or the occurrence of a natural disastrous event.
The ecosystem would be harmed, due to the new competition that native phytoplankton-eating organisms would face when the Zebra mussels eat the native specie’s food. This would also affect the phytoplankton population as now that there’s more predators after them, their numbers would decrease faster.
