The Galapagos Islands were formed from underwater volcanic activity. The islands initially were barren, supporting no life, and

then they went through a series of colonization stages. The equilibrium model of island biogeography states that the species composition on an island will constitute a balance between the immigration and extinction rates. Based on the equilibrium model of island biogeography, indicate if the following statements concerning succession on the islands are predicted to be ________.True or False.

Answer: True

Explanation: the theory of the island biogeography equilibrium modem describes that species have to get to a certain island from somewhere else which is the immigration part and other species have to migrate from the island as they run out of resources which is the extinction part. This theory shows that as the number of immigration increases and a new place is colonized the rate of extinction of species increases because there is more competition and limited resources for these species and vice versa.

Describe in detail what causes seafloor spreading. Use as many key terms as possible.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Seafloor spreading results from intense activity in the upper mantle which cracks the crust and pushes it away.

Explanation:

Seafloor spreading is a process that was first noticed by Alfred Wegener and was used by him in his theory of plate tectonics. There are three types of plate boundaries; convergent boundary, transform boundary, and divergent boundary. The last one is the one where seafloor spreading occurs.

The convection currents in the mantle are the process that breaks up the crust and move the tectonic plates, and when there is higher activity than usual at some place it results in break up the crust of an already existing tectonic plate.  Basically, magma rises at a higher rate and pushes through the crust, in this case, the oceanic crust, and it manages to gradually break through it and come out on the seafloor. By doing so, the magma and the pressure from below are pushing the two now divided parts of the plate. As the space between the two different parts becomes larger and large the density of the crust becomes smaller and smaller so more and more magma rises through. The magma quickly solidifies on the ocean floor and piles up, thus creating an underwater mountain range known as a mid-ocean ridge.

Why is the sahara desert such an important feature of the geography of north africa. If you answer, you will get a lot of points
True [87]
The Sahara desert is important for a multiple of reasons. One is that although it is a desert, there are many fertile areas of land making it great for farming and supporting life. It also acts as a natural barrier in between north and south Africa, which was able to impact trade with the South, slowing down innovation on both sides.
