Answer: Although the Moon appears to shine, it does not emit light. Instead, we can see the Moon because it is lit up by the Sun.

Explanation:

The part of the Moon that is both sunlit and facing Earth is called the Moon's phase.

As the Moon orbits Earth, the Moon's phase changes. The model below shows the Moon's phase at eight positions in its orbit. The smaller moons closer to Earth show where sunlight hits the Moon. The larger moons farther from Earth show how the Moon will look during that phase.

AUGUST 28, 2014 -- What does the Sahara Desert in Africa have to do with hurricanes in the Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Eastern Pacific Ocean? You might think this sounds a little crazy because hurricanes are very wet and deserts are very dry, but if it weren't for this huge, hot, dry region in North Africa, we would see far fewer hurricanes in the United States. The Sahara Desert is massive, covering 10 percent of the continent of Africa. It would be the largest desert on Earth, but based strictly on rainfall amounts, the continent of Antarctica qualifies as a desert and is even larger. Still, rainfall in the Sahara is very infrequent; some areas may not get rain for years and the average total rainfall is less than three inches per year. While not the largest or driest of the deserts, the Sahara has a major influence on weather across the Western Hemisphere.


How a Tropical Storm Starts A-Brewin'


The role the Sahara Desert plays in hurricane development is related to the easterly winds (coming from the east) generated from the differences between the hot, dry desert in north Africa and the cooler, wetter, and forested coastal environment directly south and surrounding the Gulf of Guinea in west Africa. The result is a strong area of high altitude winds commonly called the African Easterly Jet. If these winds were constant, we would also experience fewer hurricanes. However, the African Easterly Jet is unstable, resulting in undulations in a north-south direction, often forming a corresponding north to south trough, or wave, that moves westward off the West African Coast. When these waves of air have enough moisture, lift, and instability, they readily form clusters of thunderstorms, sometimes becoming correlated with a center of air circulation. When this happens, a tropical cyclone may form as the areas of disturbed weather move westward across the Atlantic. Throughout most of the year, these waves typically form every two to three days in a region near Cape Verde (due west of Africa), but it is the summer to early fall when conditions can become favorable for tropical cyclone development. Not all hurricanes that form in the Atlantic originate near Cape Verde, but this has been the case for most of the major hurricanes that have impacted the continental United States.

There are two species of freshwater shrimp that are introduced to a pond. The first species, Caridina cantonensis, is brightly c
Marina86 [1]

Explanation:

Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.  

In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.  

The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.  

The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age  whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.

The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.

In a force of 5n to the left and 9n to the right act an object what is the net force
vaieri [72.5K]

Hello There!

The Net Force Is 4

First, let's remember that you find the "Net Force" of an object by the direction its going. In this case, they are both pointing in different directions.

Next, we find the "Net Force" by subtracting them and the one with the biggest force, you go in that direction.

Finally, once we subtracted 5 from 9 we get a "Net Force" of 4

The process by which an individual seeks out environments that correspond to their genotypic characteristics is described as the
Lilit [14]

Answer:

Active genotype - environmental effects

Explanation:

There are primarily three types of co-relation between genotype and environment which are as follows –  

a) Passive genotype –environment effect – This depicts the relationship between the genetic characteristics acquired by a child from his/her parents and the environment in which he/she is raised.  

b) Reactive genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetically acquired behaviour from parents and the reaction corresponding to such behaviour.  

c) Active genotype –environment effect – This represents a relationship between genetic tendency of an individual and the environment condition selected by an individual .
