Zebra mussels were first discovered in North America in the Great Lakes in 1988. These invasive species eat phytoplankton and ot

her microscopic organisms in freshwater. What would be the most likely effect if zebra mussels are introduced into a local freshwater lake?
The ecosystem would be harmed, as other phytoplankton-eating organisms would have less to eat. The ecosystem would benefit from the increased competition for food and increased diversity. The zebra mussels would benefit the lake, especially species higher up on the food chain. The zebra mussels would only affect the lake if it already contained another species of mussels.

It would be harmed that’s my answer

The ecosystem would be harmed, due to the new competition that native phytoplankton-eating organisms would face when the Zebra mussels eat the native specie’s food. This would also affect the phytoplankton population as now that there’s more predators after them, their numbers would decrease faster.

How might the climate and vegetation of Latin America have affected migration, settlement, and ways of life?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The climate and vegetation of Latin America have made many people move out, certain areas to be highly populated while some lack population, with the way of life, is very vibrant, with a lot of interaction, music, and spending time outside.

Explanation:

The majority of Latin America has tropical types of climate, with smaller patches having Mediterranean, temperate, or mountainous climates. Being dominated by tropical climates, this region is not the best when it comes to equal distribution of population, as the tropical rainforests have too much vegetation, heat, humidity, and precipitation, while the deserts and semi-deserts lack vegetation and water resources.

This has led to people being concentrated heavily along the coastlines, but also at relatively flat area high on the mountains and plateaus near the Equator. A lot of people have decided to migrate to other regions though, as their environment has not been the best for living. The ways of life can be said that are similar in many ways to the cultures from the Mediterranean region, vibrant, loud, lot of interaction and music, spending a lot of time outside.

How is latitude measured?
NeX [460]

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. The equator is defined as 0 degrees, the North Pole is 90 degrees north, and the South Pole is 90 degrees south. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels. Your latitude can be calculated by measuring the angle of the sun.

PLS HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. glacial tills and cirques Till is derived from the erosion and entrainment of material by the moving ice of a glacier. It is deposited some distance down-ice to form terminal, lateral, medial, and ground moraine. Cirques form by the accumulation of snow and ice avalanching from upslope areas. The size of cirque glaciers ranges from glaciers that are completely limited within hosting bedrock hollows, to glaciers that form the heads of large valley glaciers.

2. ENERGY FROM THE SUN heats up the air at the equator most because of the curvature of the earth. This tends to rise up then head toward the poles where it cools and moves closer to the surface and then more or less back toward the equator.

THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH makes the movement of air relative to the surface of the earth seem to deflect. This Coriolis effect doesn't affect your toilet flushing, but does influence large scale wind patterns and hurricanes.

THE LATITUDE OF VANCOUVER roughly half way between the equator and the north pole positions us so the large scale wind patterns tend to bring us winds from the west.

THE PACIFIC OCEAN sits to the west. Winds pick up moisture from it toward shore. Large bodies of water also tend to hang on to energy that keeps our temperatures more moderate.

THE COAST MOUNTAINS push the moist air upward so it cools off and can't hold on to as much moisture, so it rains.

THE TILT OF THE EARTH'S AXIS relative to the plane of our orbit around the sun means we are tilted away from the sun during winter, so it's cooler. This results in a greater temperature gradient between the equator and the north pole, and the winds get stronger. The cooler temperatures combined with more moisture-ladened wind brings more rain during winter.
