The tropical rain forests are known to have a large variety of animals. One example is the orchid mantis that is highly camoufla

ged when standing on a certain species of orchid found in tropical environments. Another species, the tropical cockroach, can live anywhere in the rain forest where it can find water and a food source.Which of the following statements best describes why it is predicted that the orchid mantis will be more affected by global climate change than the tropical cockroach will be?a. As the climate changes, the number of orchids is likely to increase, leading to more competition for space by the mantis population.b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.c. Orchid mantises are generalists, so global climate change will give them more diverse habitats to colonize.d. Climate change will lead directly to the clear-cutting of the forests, resulting in a smaller habitat for both the mantis and the tropical cockroach.

Answer: b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.

Explanation:

The orchid mantis is a predator in South East Asia that camouflages itself as an orchid to catch its prey.

While the tropical cockroach is a more hardy specie, the optimum habitat for orchid mantises is one with limited variation in temperature, moisture and humidity. Therefore, as temperatures increase and climate change results in severe weather changes, it will lead to adverse effects on orchid mantises.

Answer:

Insurance companies should have the ability to legally learn the genetic profiles of people that wish to be insured.

Explanation: The reasoning...

Insurance wise the more of a liability you are the more insurance companies might not want to provide insurance to you, and if in their own studies they should be permitted to find about any history of genetic illness, this followed by higher risks of cancer, and diabetes might make you a high-risk client. Insurance is something that is sold so that the possibilities can be dealt with. If a person has a higher risk of one of those medical possibilities that might cost the insurance company more than you pay the monthly cost. This is unsavoury for companies that work like this hence it should be in their right to allow for genetic profile background checks, funded by themselves of course.

During El Niño, what happens to the coastal marine ecosystems near Peru? They thrive. Their productivity increases. They collaps
agasfer [191]

Answer:

<u>1. Their productivity increases, 2. increased friction with the land surface, 3. They intensify, 4. It increases evaporation.</u>

Explanation:

  • When the El Nino a southern oscillation reaches the Peru coast it upwells warm water and which is beneficial to the fishes and marine life. As the upper water planktons depend on this nutrient-rich water and thus thrive and increase in productivity.
  • Its a fact that the cyclones drive their energy from the warm moisture supply of water from the oceans and seas and when they make a landfall they collapse and they can't move to the interior as the friction a force and the number of energy decreases and thus they fall.
  • When the tropical cyclones form in the warm waters they intensify and grow bigger in size and thus move further quickly.
  • As the sea sprays are salts that are ejected from the oceans they are a process of heat transfer and intensify the formation if a cyclone, transferring heat, momentum, and moisture into the air.
