Answer:

B. Their predators have been killed by the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction

Explanation:

The mammals and the avian dinosaurs were small creatures, living in the shadows of the dinosaurs which dominated the world, but also were stopping the further increase in size and development of these animals. At the end of the Cretaceous though, an asteroid struck the Earth. The impact was so hard and devastating that it managed to destroy the dinosaurs and wipe them out of the face of the Earth, with the only dinosaurs remaining being the small avian species. Since lots of niches opened up and where free for taking in the ecosystem, the mammals and the avian dinosaurs quickly started to evolve, diversify, and become much larger. The mammals seem to won the race for dominance as they have become the most dominant species on the planet.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-3) and (3,-3)
agasfer [191]

Answer: y=-3

Explanation:

Equation of a line that passes through (a,b) and (c,d) is given by :-

(y-b)=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}(x-a)

The equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-3) and (3,-3) :

(y-(-3))=\dfrac{-3-(-3)}{3-(-4)} (x-3)\\\\\Righatrrow\ (y+3)=\dfrac{0}{7}(x-3)\\\\\Rightarrow\ y+3=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-3

Hence, the equation of the line that passes through the points (-4,-3) and (3,-3) : y=-3

How will globalization MOST LIKELY affect language around the world? No new languages will be created. Nations will adopt a univ
Alina [70]

The correct answers are:

- Nations will adopt a universal language;

With the globalization, more and more languages are becoming endangered, and very soon will be gone forever. The reason with this is that with the globalization, there's also a language that is spread around, the English language, and the majority of the young population is very fond of it and learns it, neglecting their own language in meantime.

- More languages will become extinct;

Because the spreading of a universal language seems to be taken place, with the English language being the front runner, and because the young generations tend to focus on it more than at their own language, the native languages will die out relatively quickly in the future, at least most of them.
