Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

A hot and very swampy environment, full of plants and stagnant water

Explanation:

This photograph shows a mountainside with exposed coal beds interlayered with sandstone and shale. The coal was formed as debris from the landscape and was gradually buried 4 to 10 km deep over a very long period of time.

Under a hot conditions, and very swampy environment, full of plants and stagnant water are the coal beds formed from.

The cold water observed along the northern california coast in summer is due mainly to?

Len [333]

The cold water observed along the northern California coast in summer is mainly due to: upwelling .

here Upwelling is a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface replaces warm water from the surface.

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.
Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

The biggest objection to Wegener's continental drift hypothesis was _____.

Ann [662]

Answer:

a) there was no evidence to support it

Explanation:

Wegener noticed while looking at the maps that some parts of the continents, especially South America and Africa, seem to match up perfectly. This led him to think that maybe the continents in the past were actually connected, but because of some force they moved apart. He went out public with his hypothesis, but it was largely rejected, and he was laughed at and ridiculed, as the scientists thought that there's no force that can move the continents. Wegener didn't stop there, and he continued to look for clues, and finally managed to find some clues at the topography of the Atlantic Ocean. He noticed that the mid-ocean ridge is the highest, but as you move away from it, the sea mounds are becoming flatter and lower, thus a sign of erosion, and he actually turned out to be right.

It takes 88 years for a popuaiton to grow from 1,200 individuals to 4,800 individuals what is the instristic rate of growth?

Katen [24]

Answer:

3.43

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Time taken for the given growth in population = 88 years

Initial population, n = 1,200

Total population, N = 4,800

Now,

we know

Total population is given as:

N = n + [ rn( (k - n) ÷ k ) ]

here,

r is the intrinsic growth rate

k is the Carrying capacity = 2N = 2 × 4,800 = 9,600

on substituting the respective values, we get

4,800 = 1,200 + [ r × 1,200( (9,600 - 1,200) ÷ 9,600 ) ]

or

3,600 = r × 1,050

or

r = 3.43
