Answer:

Air mass can be described as the volume of air present and the temperature of that mass of air.

Polar air masses are cold. They have less moisture content. The temperature of Maritime Polar air mass ranges from above freezing to below 70 degrees F.

Tropical air masses can be described as air masses that are warm and have a high moisture content. Temperature ranges between 70 degrees F to 90 degrees F.

Answer:

    Polar masses - it appears in the poles, north or south, being classified in Continental Poles (low temperature and low humidity) since they act in the polar continental areas; and Maritime Poles (low temperature and high humidity) from sub-polar and arctic ocean areas., always at latitudes above 50 ° and for these aspects, they are extremely cold. The continental polar is colder and drier; oceanic is more humid.  

    Tropical masses - their regions of origin are in the areas close to the tropics of Capricorn and Cancer, between latitudes 25 ° and 30 ° both in the northern hemisphere and in the southern hemisphere. They are very moist air masses, however, if formed in continental areas, they are usually dry. They appear in tropical areas of the globe and are classified as Tropical Continental (high temperature and low humidity) and Tropical Maritime (milder temperature and high humidity).

Consider the evidence that explains how physical separation of two populations of a species can cause speciation. What effect do
Tom [10]

Answer:

  • Interruption in the genetic flow between separated groups
  • The emergence of new mutations in each of the groups, and their accumulation in time. Slow and gradual differentiation between populations.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms

Explanation:

Allopatric speciation consists of the geographic separation of a continuous genetic background that can give place to two or more new geographically isolated populations. These separations might be due to migration, extinction of geographically intermediate populations, or geological events. In this speciation, some barriers impede genetic interchange, or genetic flux, as the two new groups that are separated can not get together and mate anymore. These barriers might be geographical or ecological.

The process of allopatric speciation involves different steps that affect organisms:

  • The emergence of the barrier.
  • Interruption in the genetic interchange
  • The occurrence of new mutations and their accumulation in time in each population. Slow and gradual differentiation.
  • Genetic divergence by natural selection and reproductive isolation makes it impossible for the two groups to mate even if the barrier disappears.
  • Prezigotic isolation mechanisms will be favored by selection if occurs a secondary contact between the new species in formation.

What are intermediate species? in an easy way to understand. And some examples?
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

An intermediate is a species which appears in the mechanism of a reaction, but not in the overall balanced equation. Examples: Amphibian/land vertebrate (Pederpes)- Intermediate form between primary aquatic Upper Devonian amphibians and early tetrapods. Lizard/snake (Pachyrhachis)—Intermediate form of snakes and an extinct lizard-like reptile. It was a primitive snake with limbs.
