Why are alcids unique

Social Studies
1 answer:
kobusy [5.1K]3 years ago
6 0

Alcids (or auks) fill a similar ecological niche in the northern hemisphere as penguins do in the southern hemisphere, except alcids can fly — and can fly long distances. The top photo is of a mixed group of Rhinoceros Auklets and Common Murres in flight over Monterey Bay in February, some having flown thousands of miles from Alaska to reach that rich pelagic wintering locale.

To quote Nettleship (1996), alcids are "a highly specialized and ecologically diverse group of marine, wing-propelled pursuit-diving birds." Many live at high northern latitudes — like this group of Atlantic Puffins and Razorbills (left) on Machias Seal Island, Canada — where their fat well-insulated bodies and comical appearances add to the feeling that they recall "northern penguins." Like penguins, though, some species reach tropical latitudes.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

A group picnic

Explanation:

In the question above, since the local employees have already met the physiological and safety needs then based on the "hierarchy of needs theory" the next motivation level would be met via the promise of a particular "group picnic" i.e, via "love and belonging needs".

The hierarchy of needs theory was conceptualized by a psychologist named Abraham Maslow. He defined the "love and belonging needs" as the process that involves "range of intimacy" between different people and circumscribe empathy, compassion, caring, being part of a specific community, feelings of being approved or accepted vs. disapproved or rejected by a community, etc.

1. Which statement is an example of an overt behavior caused by an emotion?
marusya05 [52]

Answer: The correct answer is D. Keegan screams loudly when his brother startles him.

Explanation: Overt behaviors are a certain type of conduct that can be observed by others. Talking, walking, screaming, laughing, are all examples of overt behaviors.

Covert behaviors are behaviors that can be done in secrecy or privacy and cannot be observed by others. Thinking, feeling, perceiving are all examples of covert behaviors if they are not displayed by the person experiencing them.

In this particular example, the only statement that is an example of overt behavior caused by emotion is:

D. Keegan screams when his brother startles him.

The emotion that Keegan is experiencing is fear and the observable behavior that she displays to express that emotion is screaming.

Why did the writers of the constitution create checks and balances
Murrr4er [49]
They created checks and balances so no one branch of government could have more power than any other. For example, Donald Trump is our next president, but Congress and the Supreme Court moderate what he can do.
