How has human interaction affected the Mississippi Delta?
BaLLatris [955]

Explanation:

Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.
Pepsi [2]
Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.
