During the Carboniferous period, which occurred approximately 360 to 300 million years ago, most of Earth was covered in dense r

ainforests. These rainforests were sustained by a humid and tropical climate that lasted for most of the Carboniferous period. At the end of the period, Earth's climate became much colder and drier, leading to a wide-scale collapse of the rainforests and a significant loss of vegetation.
How might the collapse of the Carboniferous rainforests have affected Earth's carbon cycle?

A.
The loss of vegetation would have decreased the total amount of carbon in Earth's carbon cycle.
B.
The total amount of carbon in the carbon cycle would have increased as the vegetation decayed.
C.
Over time, the decaying vegetation would have absorbed a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
D.
Over millions of years, the decaying vegetation would have been buried and its carbon turned into fossil fue

What special adaptation do strawberry plant stems have

these an a sort of extrernal connections between the particular plants, which can be used to grow new plants, as when the end of one such stem finds an appropriate place in the ground and sprouts roots there.

Do you think you might have needed a different kind of adaptation?

Why do dolphins kill more people every year than sharks?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Dolphins use their strong snouts as a powerful weapon to ram sharks, targeting their soft underbellies and gills to cause injuries. Sharks pose less of a threat to larger members of the dolphin family. Indeed, orcas are the top predator in the ocean and small sharks are a target for some populations.

A newly discovered animal reproduces slowly. It has only one offspring each time it reproduces. Which reproductive strategy does
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

C: K Strategy

Explanation:

The best choice will be C- K strategy because this type of strategy involves greater investment from parents into their offspring. These organisms are mostly higher organisms which reproduce slowly and ensure the maximum survival of their offspring. They compete strongly with other organisms and invest more in their survival by producing fewer quality offspring that have more survival opportunities.

Example of K-selected species include  larger mammals (such as primates and horses), birds and larger plants. Unlike their opposite R-selected specie which produce large number of offspring, K selected specie are called in Equilibrium wile R-selected species are called as opportunistic.

Thank you!
