Answer:

Occurrence of mud slides after heavy rains.

Explanation:

Soil erosion is defined as the removal of top soil from the land and it affects the fertility of the soil. It is also known as soil degradation.

Soil erosion has both short-term and long-term damage. Short-term damage of erosion includes the occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains which is called landslide. It is a short-term damage because landslides took long-duration to happen and when happened it can be shortly recovered using machines.

Hence, the correct answer is "the Occurrence of mudslides after heavy rains."

Given a population that contains genetic variation, what is the correct sequence of the following events under the influence of

natali 33 [55]

The correct option is (a) 2 → 4 → 1 → 3

A change occurs in the environment. → Poorly adapted individuals have decreased survivorship. → Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring than do poorly adapted individuals. → Genetic frequencies within the population change.

<h3>What is genetic variation in population?</h3>

The presence of various alleles, or different gene versions, within a population indicates genetic variety.
If there is genetic variation, then everybody in the population will have various genotypes depending on the alleles they carry.
Genetic loci that have many alleles are said to be polymorphic. Human characteristics like blood type and eye color, for instance, are polymorphic.

Complete the sentence about Alfred wegener's continental drift story.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The presence of similar <u>fossils(B)</u><u> </u> and <u>rock formations(C)</u> on several different continents supports the theory of Continental Drift.

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener observed fossils of organisms that were not supposed to have survived in the climate of where they were found. Other key findings is that he found fossils of organisms that were found in one continent and the same fossils found on another continent whose edges seem to fit together.

He also observed rock formations or stratas of mountain ranges in one continent seem to fit together with another continent.

<u>Added note:</u>

Even if Alfred Wegener had these evidences to present, his theory of Continental Drift was rejected mainly because he could not explain the mechanism of how the super continent (Pangaea) split.
