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).

What mountain range is between the black and caspian seas
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Caucasus Mountain Range or  Caucasus Mountains is between the black and caspian seas.

Explanation:

This mountain is a great barrier that extends for 750 miles and its tops exceed 4500 meters. It is located <u>between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. </u>

It has two mountain ranges: the Great Caucasus, which is the largest mountain range and extends for 1200 km, and the Lesser Caucasus which is 600 km long.

This great mountain range was <u>created by the clash between the Arab plate and the Eurasian plate</u> approximately 28 million years ago. Due to the constant movement of plates,<u> it is a region prone to continuous strong earthquakes</u> although it does not have volcanic activity despite the existence of some stratovolcanoes.

The world’s supply of freshwater is increasing. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The freshwater refers to all the naturally occurring water on the earth's surface such as rivers, streams, lakes, and glaciers. It does not include the sea and ocean water bodies.

This freshwater plays an important role in supporting the various life forms on earth as well as the ecosystem. Only about 3% of the total water present on the earth is freshwater.

This freshwater is affected by human activities very significantly. The rivers, streams, and lakes are constantly being polluted due to the following reasons such as the toxic chemicals released from the factories and industries mixes with the river, addition of fecal waste and solid waste materials to the water, thereby making the water unsuitable for drinking and other purposes.

Thus, the freshwater present in the world is constantly being degraded and decreasing.

Hence, the above-given statement is False.
