You notice a species of bird in which females prefer long ornamented feathers on the crest of males. You demonstrate this throug

h careful observations in nature where you routinely see female birds choose males with the largest feathers. Males have enormous feathers on their crests that are brightly colored. For the males with the largest feathers, they easily get caught by predators. You also demonstrate this by carefully observing which males get caught from a group of males by a predator.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Runaway sexual selection".

Explanation:

Runaway sexual selection, also known as Fisherian runaway in honor to Ronald Fisher the scientist that proposed it, is a type of sexual selection on birds, at which exaggerated male ornamentation are developed since females prefer males with these characteristics. Runaway sexual selection is a  biological paradox, since male with exaggerated ornamentation are selected by the females but also are more easily caught by predators. Runaway sexual selection fits the description of the species of bird herein described.

Ok so I would start by saying that light has a maximum speed, then explain that because space is so big we measure it's distance in light years and which means how light travels in a year at 186,282 miles per second Put that in perspective my saying If you could travel at the speed of light, you could go around the Earth 7.5 times in one second. Tell them Sunlight takes about 8 minutes 19 seconds to reach the Earth and that it can take millions or more light years for more distance stars light to reach our telescopes .

What process powers the movement of tectonic plates? Describe how this process works.
castortr0y [4]

The tectonic plates move and shift due to Mantle convection

Mantle convection is caused by the magma in the mantle of the earth constantly being cooled near the crust and heated the closer it gets to the core and like normal convection the cool magma sinks towards the crust and the hot magma rises to the crust. this happens in a circular motion causing the crust to shift with the magma
