km from the mainland. Based on the theory of island biogeography, which of the following statements is most likely true about the small island when compared with the large island?
1. The rate of immigration is lower for the small island than for the large island.
2. The small island has niches that are more like the mainland than the large island.
3. The small island has more available resources than the large island.
4. The rate of species extinction is lower on the small island than on the large island.

The correct answer is number 1) The rate of immigration is lower for the small island than for the large island.

The statement that is most likely true about the small island when compared with the large island is "The rate of immigration is lower for the small island than for the large island."

If we want to know more about the ecology and characteristics of islands, our best reference should be "The Theory of Island Biogeography," written by Edward O. Wilson and Robert McArthur in 1967. The authors try to explain the immigration and extinction of wildlife using statistics and graphics.

Answer:

4) The rate of species extinction is lower on the small island than on the large island.

Explanation:

The theory of island biogeography suggested that because of the size and links to the mainland. Fewer species that are not from the island will invade because the distance from the mainland is greater. The threat of extinction due to this is low. The small island also has a lower capacity for different species due to limited resources. This would mean that there are simply fewer species to go extinct.

How do heavy sediment deposits effect waterways?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Heavy Sediment deposits affect waterways because it can fill in drains, lakes, rivers, and sewage blockage. Sediment loss affects land and soil quality because it can mean a loss in nutrients that the land may need for vegetation. It can also cause flooding, which can carry toxins into water ways.

What is the impact of coriolis force and latent heat on the development of hagibis​
lbvjy [14]

Explanation:

impacts them greatly. We wouldn’t even have tropical cyclones if it weren’t for the Coriolis Effect.

Tropical cyclones begin as masses of disorganized showers and storms in/near the Tropics. As wind speeds pick up in these shower/storm masses, a circulation begins to form. The circulation only forms because of the Coriolis Effect, which causes cyclones to spin counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere (and clockwise in the Southern).

As the system matures, winds around its central eye strengthen. Rain becomes more intense. If the storm makes landfall, you might hear a TV meteorologist warn viewers about the “northeastern quadrant” or the “eastern side” of the storm.

This is because the Coriolis force adds momentum and energy to that side of the storm. On the east side of a low pressure system (in the Northern Hemisphere), your wind (which is caused by the pressure gradient force, or differences in air pressure) will be helped along by the Coriolis force. On the west side, the Coriolis force acts against the wind.

Thus, the Coriolis effect ensures that the worst part of most tropical cyclones is the east side, and particularly the northeastern quadrant. This is where the worst winds and heaviest rain will be located.

<h2>Right answer: they are afraid to lose what they have</h2>

According to Suzuki people in northern countries do not share because they are afraid to lose what they have.

This excerpt was part of the speech Severn Cullis-Suzuki gave at the Rio Earth Summit held at Río de Janeiro, Brazil on 1992 when she was only a 12-year old girl.

In this context, Suzuki, being a child, addressed her speech to the adults at the summit, warning about the consequences of climate change and the apathy of people in this regard.
