Answer:

This method of population estimation would be more accurate in a lake setting as the fish would all stay at the same place all the time so it's easier to keep a control of the population.

Explanation:

The mark and recapture method is a population size estimation technique where a portion of the population is marked and released, and then a second portion is captured to count how many of the previously marked individuals is found in order to determinate an estimate of the total size of the population. Doing this on a stream or river would present several complications, as the individuals are constantly moving ahead down the river and travel very long distances, so the probability of recapturing a previously marked individual is very slim. Whereas in a lake, all the population of fish would stay in the same area all the time, making this method very practical to estimate the total population.

Which of the following is a way for a state to achieve international sovereignty?
docker41 [41]

Answer:T

he answer is C

Let's go through the options:

a. declare sovereignty in a document, such as the Declaration of Independence

-this is a good start, but it's not enough, a number of states have declared sovereignty but they were not recognized internationally. 

b. pass a law requiring other states to recognize its sovereignty

- a state can't pass a law about what the others should do: this is a false answer

c. gain recognition of sovereignty from the United Nations

-this is the best way of achieving sovereignty in a way that is recognized internationally - this is the best answer.

d. merge with another state and form a new state

-this is not the right answer - this state would not be sovereign then.

Plate Tectonics Name Date Course/Section Due Date 1. The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundaries of which major Earth
Mumz [18]

Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of the earth tectonic plates as earthquakes have the seismic energy that gets transferred to the landscape and as result to this the transform, divergent and convergent boundaries along the plate margins can be found.
  • Deep focus earthquakes are those that have shallow bases and origin in trenches where the lands are subdued under the plates and are associated with prominent oceanic features like the mid-oceanic ridges, deep-sea ridges, and seamounts, guyots and canyons, etc.
  • The ocean floor of convergence that creates the deep-seated earthquake as being collided with land and an oceanic plate or being collided with an oceanic and oceanic plate boundary. Physical features are faults and rift valleys.
  • The tonga trench is located near the tonga island and in the southwestern pacific ocean, is the second deepest trench on earth. Pacific plate is being subdued under this tench with an in convergence rate of 15 cm/year. Thus the rigid slab of lithosphere plate is being pulled towards this zone of convergence.
