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.
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.
During the 1960's the disclosure of enormous gas and oil fields in Alaska accelerated the change of most coal framework to other petroleum products. During this period Usibelli Coal Mine bought the Suntrana mine and the mining activities in the Matanuska coal fields stopped activity.
The statement 'south of London' is an example of 'absolute location' is false.
<u>Explanation:</u>
A location can be said to be an absolute location when it is defined with exact longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates.
For instance, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London can be said to be an example of 'absolute location' because its location can be pinpointed with the help of longitudes and latitudes.
When we say south of London, it can be the entire area that falls south of London, which cannot be an example of an 'absolute location'.
