Some biologists believe that the latitudinal gradient in species diversity reflects the fact that high latitudes recently lay be

neath large glaciers. If there had been no recent ice age, would we still expect to see a latitudinal diversity gradient? No, without polar ice (large ice formation around the pole), warm ocean currents like the Gulf Stream would carry more heat to high latitudes, making them more productive and, so, supporting more diversity. Yes, with or without recent glaciation of high latitudes, there is still less energy available at high latitudes to support diverse biomes. No, without the ice ages, biomes at high latitudes would be older, with more time for the diversification of species. Yes, nutrient availability would still be lower at high latitudes.

Answer:

Yes, with or without recent glaciation of high latitudes, there is still less energy available at high latitudes to support diverse biomes.

Explanation:

  • As the biologist believes that the latitudinal gradient of the species diversity also reflects on the fact that the high latitudes that stood beneath the large glaciers had no ice ages as their is still energy available at the higher latitudes and elevation and this supports the diverse form of the biodiversity and biomes.
  • This is what is called as the altitudinal gradient of species and changes as e moves for the tropics to the poles. And reflect the north and the south divides.

Answer:

Option (2)

Explanation:

The earth is comprised of numerous species, and this diversification of species gradually increases from the polar region to the tropical region of earth. The tropical and equatorial region is comprised of different species as this region receives the maximum amount of energy, nutrients, sunlight and rainfall.

Some of the biologists often believe that the species diversity increases with the latitude. The higher latitudinal region are mostly covered with ice and glaciers. But without the occurrence of ice age in the past, there is still lesser but sufficient amount of energy that is available in the higher latitudinal region that can support different types of biome, comprising a significant number and variety of species.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).

Jupiter has 67 moons, more than any other body in the solar system. What physical attribute of Jupiter causes it to have so many
Harrizon [31]

The correct answer is - it's mass.

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System, but only the biggest, also it has the biggest mass by far from all the planets. Because of its very big mass Jupiter has a very strong gravitational pull. The strong gravitational pull contributes to the attraction and keeping of lots of bodies that can not escape it, instead they revolve around the planet. These objects, or space bodies, that the gravitational pull of the planet managed to trap, became the moons, or rather natural satellites, of Jupiter.

What is the difference between the production and the dostribution of an item
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Production is the manufacturing of the item. Distribution is the transportation, promotion, or delivering of the item.

Examples:

Phones are produced in a factory. They are useless though unless they are distributed to the stores so that they can be sold to consumers.

The same can apply to commercial crops. Crops are all produced commercially and then distributed to thousands of grocery stores so that they can be sold.
