Climate change
Greenhouse effect

Some heat energy from the Earth’s surface escapes into space. If too much heat energy escaped, the planet would be very cold. However some gases in the atmosphere can trap escaping heat energy, causing some of it to pass back to the surface.

These are called greenhouse gases, and they keep our planet warm, which is a good thing. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas.

Increasing carbon dioxide levels

Humans burn fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas. The energy released is used to power cars and other machines, to generate electricity, and to keep buildings warm. The burning fuel releases waste gases, including carbon dioxide. As the human population increases, more fuel is used, and more carbon dioxide is released.

Global warming

The extra carbon dioxide increases the greenhouse effect. More heat is trapped by the atmosphere, causing the planet to become warmer than it would be naturally. The increase in global temperature this causes is called global warming.

Develop a hypothesis to explain why you think eurypterids developed legs even though they lived on the ocean floor.
expeople1 [14]

I think that since it lives on the ocean floor, at the deepest of the ocean. So anyway, the fin on the Eurypterids is still necessary but not that much, since they live on the ocean floor. Their movements mostly on the ocean floor. So fin would not help them "stick" to the floor. Also there are still gravity acts on the Eurypterids and the feet would help them move faster. Hope this helps.

The accidental introduction of invasive species of plants and animals often
RSB [31]

Answer: N. pubens has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment.

Explanation:

The statement that best explains the impact that N. pubens has on its environment is that "N. pubens has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment".

From the information given, it's stated that the Rasberry crazy ant (Nylanderia pubens) was accidentally introduced in Texas and it attacks livestock, displace existing species, and damage electrical equipment.

It's further stated that it consumes "honeydew," a sugary liquid substance secreted as a waste product by aphids, which suck the sap out of plants.

This shows that it has found a place within the existing food web in its new environment.
