Why do earthquakes often cause damaging fires

Biology

Sedbober [7]4 years ago

Earthquakes can cause very large and catastrophic fires by severing fuel and electricity lines. The released fuel can be lit on fire by something like a cigarette or the severed electrical lines.

Fires are caused by electric and gas lines that are damaged. As soon as the fire starts, it gets complicated for you to control. I hope this is the answer you are looking for! :)

Based on their observations and the data they collected, the Grants concluded that evolution by natural selection had occurred i
aalyn [17]

Answer:

C. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.

D. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.

E. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.

Explanation:

The presence of genetic variations among the individuals of a population is required for natural selection to be operative. Natural selection targets the beneficial genetic variations present in the population. Natural selection refers to the differential reproductive and survival success of organisms of a population due to some beneficial genetic traits. These organisms with beneficial genetic traits are able to survive and leave more progeny under prevailing conditions.

If the natural selection has occurred in the ground finch population for the beak size, the beak size should be a genetic trait since natural selection works on genetic traits only. The finch population should have variations with respect to the beak size. The finches having the larger beak size that enabled them to feed on larger, tougher seeds should have higher survival and reproductive fitness during the drought.

Under these conditions, natural selection would favor the finches with larger beak size and would eventually result in an increase in the average beak size of the future generations.

Describe three types of encoding people use to input information into the nervous system answers
Maru [420]
Memory has the ability to encode, store and recall information. Memories give an organism the capability to learn and adapt from previous experiences as well as build relationships. The types of encoding used by individuals to input information into the nervous system include; 
Visual encoding which entails the process of encoding images and visual sensory information. Elaborative is the process of actively relating new information to knowledge that is already in memory, and Acoustic encoding which is the encoding of auditory impulses.
