Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season. </span>

Paleomagnetism can be used to estimate the age of the seafloor because the magnetic field of Earth in the geologic past is _____

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

c) known to have experienced numerous polarity reversals, as seen by the remnant magnetization of iron-rich minerals in rocks.

Explanation:

Paleomagnetism is the study of the Earth's magnetic fields in sediment (rocks or other archaeological material). This can be used to estimate the age of sediment (or in this case, the seafloor) because it is known that the magnetic field of Earth experienced numerous polarity reversals. This allows is to employ such sequences as a chronologic tool. Paleomagnetism has also been a significant tool in the subjects of continental drift and plate tectonics.

Describe the impact of the ethnic conflict in the Balkans in the early 1990s.

The impact of the ethnic conflict in the Balkans was that over 100,000 people were killed and 1 million people displaced from their homes during this conflict. Refugees flooded neighboring European countries and the European Union, and NATO sent peacekeeping troops to the region to prevent the conflict from restarting.

Explanation:

The Balkan in the early 1990's was the most unstable part of Europe. Yugoslavia was coming by its end, and several extreme nationalist parties, mainly from Serbia and Croatia were gradually lifting up the tensions. As it was clear that Yugoslavia will fall apart, the largest federate states wanted to get as much as possible from the territory, with Serbia even wanting to occupy some of the other federate states and form a large Serbian country.

As the countries started to proclaim independence, Slovenia leading the pack, the first military offensive started between Slovenia and Serbia. Than the battle moved on in Bosnia, with the Serbians, Croatians, and Bosnian Muslims fighting against each other, resulting in several massacres and genocides. Only Macedonia managed to get out of Yugoslavia without military conflict, though it was under threat of it.

The end result was large scale destruction, thousands of people murdered, and huge migration wave toward Western Europe and the Nordic countries.

Out of the former Yugoslavia, several nations have been formed, some earlier, some later:
