Diffrences between tundra type climate and polar climate​
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Distinction from Tundra Climate

For example, tundra climates usually have a month in which the average temperature rises beyond the freezing point, while this does not occur in polar climates. The hotter month allows the ice in tundra climates to melt, which enable plants and animals to survive.

Rocks that are _____ allow oil, natural gas, and groundwater to flow through them and even seep to the surface.
FinnZ [79.3K]

The type of rock that allows oil, natural gas, and groundwater to flow through them is known as reservoir rock and this can only occur if the rocks are permeable.

<h3>What is a Reservoir Rock?</h3>

This refers to the type of rocks that allows natural gases and fluids to go through them because of their permeability.

Hence, we can see that because the rocks have good permeability, that is they have the ability to allow minerals to flow through them, then this is known as a reservoir rock.

A group or a chain of islands, Example: greater and lesser Antilles
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

A group or a chain of islands is called archipelago.

Explanation:

The seas and oceans are not just open spaces of water with nothing interrupting them, instead they have hundreds of thousands or even millions of islands rising from them. The islands vary in size, and what can be considered as an island is still debatable, but they can be anywhere from few tens of meters to hunderds of thousands of square km.

The chains or groups of islands are called archipelago. In order to distinguish them from one another they have to have some similraties and most often they need to have the same geological history and processes that created them. An archipelago can be formed in multiple ways. Along the subduction zones there are always archipelagoes, and this is due to the volcanic activity. Another creator of archipelagoes are the hot spots because they are static but the plates move on top of them, thus draging the islands from the hot spot and new rising above it. Also, if the characteristics of the topography of an area are such that when the sea levels rise, there can be a formation of an archipelago where the lower areas will be under water while the higher places would remain above water.

In conclusion, briefly explain and give an example of how fossils provide evidence of evolution within the geosphere and the bio
stiv31 [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

For example, the dinosaurs' fossils helped the scientists to learn about their habits, habitats, etc.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists greatly depend upon existing biological evidences of extinct organisms in the form of 'fossils' to study the earlier life existed within the biosphere and the geosphere.

Fossil research allows researchers to learn a great deal not only about the organisms' live form and behaviour but also the Earth's geosphere and biosphere at that time. Specially, transitional fossils are more apt to study as they demonstrate the transitional states of a fossil between the ancestral type and the descendants' recent form.
