Answer:

It allows the animal to undergo rapid, purposeful movement in any direction.

Explanation:

The radial symmetry allows the animal to have a more controlled displacement, this advantage is evidenced in the response to predators which is faster than an animal with bilateral symmetry.

Also predators know its preys so they usually don't get confuse about their shape. No necessarily for having a radial symmetry the animal gets food from all sides ( the seastars have radial symmetry but the movement of their extremities do not allow them to get food from every place around). And sensing the environment is not necesarily an advantage because it don't let you know what is above you.

So an advantage of radial symmetry is the huge capacity of movement.

Fossil fuels have been used for years as a source
VMariaS [17]


The best answer is (1)

Fossil fuels are commercially available as an energy source.

They are very easy to find. More and more extractions of fossil fuels is going on everyday. With advancement in science and  technology, the refineries and extraction procedures have improved a lot. This makes their availability even better.

Fossil fuels are also easily combustible. Most combustion engines need to be powered with little amount of fuel to produce large amount of energy. Very large amounts of electricity can be  generated  from fossil fuels.

1. Of the six species of seals found in Antarctica, four of them breed on the actual ice in the spring months. Which species of
soldier1979 [14.2K]
1) The answer is C. Weddell and Crab eater seal usually form breeding groups or colonies when breeding. The Leopard and Ross seals are solitary when breeding. Antarctic and elephant seals on the other hand breed in dense groups on beaches when breeding.

2) The answer is C. Sea ice is frozen water that forms, grows and melts in the ocean.It occurs both in the arctic and antarctic. The sea ice grows during the winter months and melts during the summer months making it a seasonal ice. Areas with sea ice do not absorb much light because sunlight that strike it are reflected back into space.

3) The answer is C. Heat capacity. When the sun heats the surface evaporation of water occurs. The water vapour is lifted into the atmosphere using heat currents. The water vapour  combines with dust particles to form clouds which later rain.

4) The answer is C. The cold water is denser and thus is moves to the bottom(downwelling). Water that is rich in nutrients then moves up to the surface to replace the cold water. The increased nutrients trigger the growth of organisms like the algae.

5) What is the difference between El nino and La nina.
El Nino is the warm phase of ENSO while La Nina is the cold phase of ENSO. El Nino usually brings rainfall and warmth to western pacific regions and coldness and dryness to the eastern pacific region while La Nina brings coldness in the eastern pacific regions and heavy rains that cause floods in the western pacific.

6) The answer is C. During the La Nina year the sea surface temperature is greater than normal in the Western pacific. The La Nina is an exaggeration of the usual seasonal cool cycle unlike El Nino which is an exaggeration of the warm cycle. The La Nina year occurs after some El Nino years.

7) Names for hurricane are beneficial over latitude longitude identification because they are easier to remember. They avoid confusion which is more likely when using latitude longitude identification.They also help to spread awareness and are much easier to track.

8)The answer is B. The leopard is the second largest seal that have powerful jaws and long teeth. They use these teeth to kill smaller seals, fish and squid. They also feed on penguins. This is why they do not rely on krill as a major food source.

9) The answer is A. The adelie penguins feed mostly on krill but switch to fish during breeding because fish and squid are more abundant and krill is more scarce. I think this is because during the breeding season birds spend short periods at sea and hence more fish is available.

10) The answer is A. Due to the fact that penguins live in cold environments, they have adopted a few features to keep them warm. These features include fat under their skin,layers of features and staying together in groups. Penguins swim fast in order to launch themselves in the air.

11) The population of penguins have greatly increased due to the hunting of baleen whales. Baleen whales are know to eat krill and fishes. This means when there is a reduction of the baleen whales there will be an increase in the amount of krill and fish. This will result to an increase in the amount of penguins since food availability will increase increasing their chances of survival.
