Generally describe what forces ultimately shaped the earth into its modern form

1 answer:

8 0

The force of gravity is a major force that created the earth. As rocks and ice clumped together as they spun around the newly formed star (sun), the force of gravitational pull increased and attracted more debris (rocks and ice). The clumps of rocks, debris, and ice, therefore, grew into a planet.

Another is electromagnetic force. The spinning currents in the outer core of the earth create a dynamo effect that forms a magnetic field around the earth. This shields the earth from the solar storms of the sun hence protects life and the atmosphere.

Weak nuclear force is responsible for maintaining the heat of the earth’s interior which is critical for maintaining the dynamo effect of the outer core so the earth is protected by its magnetic field.

How does mutation lead to variation

saul85 [17]

Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect, but in many cases, change is based on the accumulation of many mutations. Gene flow is any movement of genes from one population to another and is an important source of the genetic variation.

The variability in marine salinity between habitats does not impact the fish living there.

nikitadnepr [17]

Well, there are two kinds of organisms: osmoregulators, that can regulate the level of salt and the salinity does not affect them (an example is salmon: for salmon this sentence is true. Generally, for most fish this sentence is true)

However, for some species, such shark - osmoconformers - this is false: they are affected by the salinity. in general I would conclude that This is false: the marine salinity DOES affect the fish (and other organisms) living there.
