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.

21) What wavelength does the Earth emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region?

melomori [17]

Answer:

Longwave terrestrial radiation at the night time, in the of infrared rays.

Explanation:

As the short wave solar radiation or the visible light containing lots of energy the longwave radiation of the earth contains infrared that has less energy. As the solar radiation that enters our atmosphere in the form of UV rays, and sun emits these short waves as they are extremely hot and hence have lots of energy to give off.

As parts of incoming solar are absorbed by the earth's surface features and rest of is reflected into the atmosphere by cloud cover and the energy that falls on the ground is reradiated back to the sun as the earth is cooler at night and less energy is given off.

Hence the atmosphere tires to balance the incoming energy from the sun in the form of a heat budget and a greenhouse effect.

What determines how fast sea cliffs form? Select all that apply.

mario62 [17]

The frequency and speed of the wind

The energy of the waves hitting the shore

The hardness of the rock that makes up the shoreline

All of these will determine the shape and how fast a cliff is formed, such as the speed of the wind and water, as well as how hard a rock is, will shape how the rock looks like.

For example, if the wind and waves are traveling extremely quickly, and the rock is made of sand, the rock will break much quickly.

Hope this helps
