Answer:
Salt in the ocean comes from rocks on land. The rain that falls on the land contains some dissolved carbon dioxide from the surrounding air. This causes the rainwater to be slightly acidic due to carbonic acid (which forms from carbon dioxide and water).
1. Natural selection is the best of the organisms to live past hardships and survive, leaving the weakest to die. Survival of the fittest.
2. Adaptation is an organism changing to better themselves in a certain environment.
3. These moths were adapted to blend into their surroundings, so as to not be seen by predators.
4. Because of the pollution from the city, the tree’s bark turned from a lighter shade brown to a darker shade brown.
5. A majority of the moths were a lighter gray. With the changing color bark they were seen more by predators.
6. Adaption caused the first darker moths to appear because they learned they needed to blend into the new tree bark color.
7. The change from light to dark gray was very needed for moths. It explains natural selection for those moths who did not adapt to different color gray. Adapting the new tree bark color helped moths been less seen by predators therefor keeping their species more alive.
When scientists try to use the explanation of the natural world to understand patterns, they are making PREDICTIONS about natural events. For example, volcanic eruptions.
2. Why are biologist concerned about because system disruption?
