Answer:
Option (4)
Explanation:
The ‘climate envelope model’ is defined as a part of a major dispersion model of species that uses the climate parameters in order to make a predictions of total space that a species occupies in an environment.
This models represents the areas of climate that are suitable for species (both plant and animals) to exist. The variables that are commonly used in the species distribution models are climate type, land cover area, topography of the area and some other variable that are related to the species distribution model.
Thus, it can be considered that this model describes the range that a species can inhabit.
Hence, the correct answer is option (4).
Answer:
Size of legless lizard depends on the species. Largest legless lizards can reach 2 to 3 feet in length (including the tail) and 11 to 21 ounces in weight. Males are usually larger. Tail of legless lizard is two times longer than the body.
Answer:
The geography and climate impacted the trade and economic activities of Middle Colonies. ... The Middle colonies are often called the breadbasket colonies because they grew so many crops, especially wheat. The Middle colonies built flour mills where wheat was ground into flour, then shipped to England.
Answer:
Option (E)
Explanation:
Keeling has collected various data over the last few decades regarding the earth's atmospheric CO₂, and with the help of the photosynthesis process, he tried to determine the Keeling curve in the graph. He also considers that the earth climatic condition is the same everywhere like in the equator.
In the tropical and equatorial areas, the temperature is relatively high and also the area receives a maximum amount of sunlight and rainfall. This region supports a large number of species. This region has a higher concentration of CO₂. In addition to the increasing industrial development and consumption of fossil fuels, the CO₂ content has drastically increased over the last few decades.
From the experiment, he observed that the CO₂ content is maximum during the spring season as the plant matters undergo decomposition it releases a large amount of CO₂ into the atmosphere. But this CO₂ content is minimum during the autumn season because plants absorb the lesser amount of CO₂ in order to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
Thus, the Keeling curve shows a straight line sloping upward in the graph, which describes that the CO₂ content will be high in the tropical and near-equatorial environment.
Hence, the correct answer is option (E).
