As changes to the Earths climate occur, organisms within will be given the natural selection all animals are. Those being, die off and not adapt, or adapt “evolve” to the new climate and survive. An example is the bear, polar bears adapted to winter climates by having a white fur coat to blend in, while grizzlies have a brown coat to blend in with shrubbery or the soil.
Answer:
Biome
Explanation:
Typically, in ecology we classify a large area with similar flora and fauna throughout its boundaries as a biome. These biomes have a relatively similar climate and terrain throughout their “borders” .This means that even though biomes can generally be similar on Earth, they're not all the same.
Answer:
Correlation
Explanation:
Correlation simply means matching rocks or strata's of the same age. This rock units or sedimentary strata's may be matched from same region or even different continents.
In correlation the major task is to establish time equivalency of various rocks or sedimentary strata's.
In correlation of rock unit or sedimentary strata, Geologist looks at the physical continuity. For example a sedimentary strata from a region having a particular sequence of rock or sedimentary strata . That same pattern of sequence may be found in another region . With the similarity in the sequence stratigraphy ( sediment layering), Geologist can infer the similarity in age of both strata's.
Fossil contents present in different strata; if similar fossil contents found in different regions, geologist can determine the age similarities.
The first picture indicates strata correlation using fossil similarities while the second picture uses the physical continuity like lithology to correlates strata's
The equator and the International Date Line cross in the area of Pacific Ocean. There is a tradition to celebrate the first sailor's crossing of the line.
