It is colder, BECAUSE:

As we go up in the atmosphere, air pressure continually becomes less. That means the rising<span> air is expanding. And a characteristic of any gas is that it is cooled by expansion. So the draft of warm air that starts </span>rising<span> from the earth's surface continually cools itself as it </span>rises<span>.

Please help me!!! 26 POINTS !!!!<br> what would happen to an ecosystem without nitrifying bacteria?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Microbes. Bacteria, for example, convert nitrogen and carbon dioxide from the air into usable components that plants and animals can use as essential building blocks. A loss of all microbes would be terrible news for living organisms that can't create or take in these essential nutrients on their own.

Drag the labels from the left to the correct locations in the table to contrast r- and K-selection.
Mandarinka [93]
I don’t see any labels, but remember that humans are a great example of a k-selected species. High rates of parental care leads to high survivorship of offspring, and thus negates the need to have large amounts of offspring.

R-selected species are quite the opposite. They produce large amounts of offspring at many intervals in an attempt to maximize survivorship, as they don’t have strong parental involvement with their young. Think of insects.
