Answer:

D) The population become adapted to different environments and eventually become so different that they cannot interbreed to produce fertile offspring.

Explanation:

Speciation is divided into three stages:

a) Separation.

b) Adaptation.

c) Reproductive Isolation.

Stage 1: Separation.

A part of the population separates and adapts to a new environment. Natural events such as tsunamis, tidal waves can cause organisms to separate from their initial habitat to a new environment.

Stage 2: Adaptation.

At this stage, the organisms evolve new traits that enable them to the new environment. They possess certain characteristics that enables them to fit into the new environment. Example The great white skin's colour makes it difficult for it to be seen in the dark.

Stage 3: Reproductive Isolation.

At this stage, organisms of the same specie reunites and do not interbreed with each other. Here, species are isolated into new ones so they have the best adaptations for their new habitat.

Which surface erosion event does the most short- term damage?

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Occurrence of mud slides after heavy rains.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil from the land and it affects the fertility of the soil. It is also known as soil degradation.

Soil erosion has both short-term and long-term damage. Short-term damage of erosion includes the occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains which is called landslide. It is a short-term damage because landslides took long-duration to happen and when happened it can be shortly recovered using machines.

Hence, the correct answer is "the Occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains."
