The water would be warmer 200 miles north of the equator than it would be 2000 north of the equator, because the closer you are to the equator the more sun light you get.
Inbreeding will increase the relatedness between individuals in a population. Interbreeding refers to reproduction with another species (or race), and is often used as synonym to crossbreeding or hybridization (when referring to hybrid offspring from two different species/races/breeds, not DNA hybridization).
Spines primarily have a protective function in plants. The spines can be sharp, and form a physical barrier against herbivores which may want to feed on the plant. Spines however also have other benefits. The spines on a jumping cactus allow segments of the cactus to stick to passing large animals or humans, thereby allowing the cactus to spread to other areas through asexual propagation. Spines are modified leaves, and spines have a much lower surface area than leaves, and therefore can reduce transpirative loss of water by the plant during harsh droughts. Some trees in alpine regions, such as pine trees, have developed spine-like leaves to prevent the accumulation of snow in the branches.
First, we have C6. The C represents Carbon, and there are six atoms present. Next, we have H12. The H represents Hydrogen, and there are twelve atoms present. Finally, we have O6. The O represents Oxygen, and there are six atoms present.
Combined, these atoms make our lovely glucose, a form of sugar that plant produce in the process of photosynthesis.
FYI most of this information can be found on the lovely search engine called Google. ;)
