Biology
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

A is incorrect because water is a molecule with covalent bonds.

C is incorrect because water is <em>very</em> much polar, since Oxygen has a relatively higher electronegativity than Hydrogen (so the difference of their electronegativities would be greater than 0.3 and less than 1.7).

D is incorrect because the bonds between elements in the water molecules is  not hydrogen bonding since water is a molecule in its own right, with strong bonds.

A drought causes a wildfire which destroys a forest. Which Earth systems interact during this process? (1 point) Select one: a.
Ne4ueva [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>It is the biosphere and hydrosphere that interact when a drought causes a wildfire that destroys a forest. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydrosphere consists of all the water bodies of earth like oceans, seas, rivers, lakes etc.  a drought occurs due to scarcity of water which affects the hydrosphere. The scarcity of water causes plants and trees to dry up and become more prone to catching fire

Biosphere includes all the living organisms of the earth. It includes plants, trees, birds, insects, animals etc. A drought dries up a whole area and a small fire that starts up somewhere in  a forest would then engulf the whole forest.

  Variations Within Ecosystems

Ecosystem diversity can be described as a term which is used o describe the changes within an ecosystem and the impact these changes have on the environment and humans.

Variations within an ecosystem can cause genetic drifts. Variations will cause those organisms to survive which are better adapted to survive to the changes which occur in an ecosystem. And the organisms which are not better suited become extinct over a period of time. Hence, this will lead to a wide rise in biodiversity.
