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.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

This scenario best illustrates the defense mechanism called sublimation.

Explanation:

Sublimation is replacing socially unacceptable impulses with socially acceptable behavior. For instance, Jeff is channeling aggressive drives into practicing boxing. Thus, sport is an example of putting our emotions (e.g. aggression) into something constructive.

How to become topper?​
zubka84 [21]

Explanation:

I believe this question requires us to answer ways in which we can become number one or achieve the first rank in our studies. There are a million ways to achieve this but the most important habits that work out a lot to many are to stay disciplined, maintain consistency, and study really hard.  Formulate a plan and stick to it. Make studying an interest just like anything else and practice hard. If you fail, always learn from your past mistakes and try harder until it works. Stay motivated and focus on your purpose because at the end of the day, the decisions you make affect your life in a positive or negative way. Stay positive. As Mike Tyson once said, "Discipline is doing what you hate to do but doing it like you love it."
