The type of ecosystem that covers much of South east Asia is the Rainforest Ecosystem. This ecosystem is characterized by heavy rainfall all year round (up to 4000 mm in some regions). The Temperature does not fluctuate much but remains in the range of 27-33 degrees Celsius annually.
Rain forest ecosystems have deep red soils known as latosols. Species are very diverse; both plants and animals. The trees here can reach up to 40 metres tall for the emergent layer. Trees are tall and have buttress roots for support. The leaves of plants have drip tips to allow water to run off quickly.
Answer:
A. There are more people on transplantation lists than donor organs so xenotransplantation can save people’s lives
Explanation:
Xenotransplantation, ie using non human animal organs in transplantation, has following most crucial favouring argument
- Patients needing transplanted organs are much higher than people willing & able to donate them. So, there is extreme excess demand, needed to be satisfied for saving people's lives.
Explanation:
As tectonic plates drift due to the convection currents of the mantle below, so does the climate on the tectonic plates. This is because the drift causes the continents to glide across latitudes. Different latitudes have different climatic conditions associated with them. An example is an equatorial climate in the equator, the subtropical climate in the mid-latitudes and polar climate in the polar region.
Therefore, even though this drift is happening very slowly over millions of years, the plant and animal species in these continental also slowly adapt to the changing climatic condition in their environment associated with these continental drifts.
Earthquakes and weathering
I believe the answer is c)
