Answer:

India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago

Explanation:

India was part of the Gondwanaland continent which was one of the two remnants of Pangaea, while Asia was part of Laurasia, the other remnant of Pangaea. Because these two land masses were separate, the animals and plants were evolving separately for millions of years. India further separated from Gondwanaland, and it was actually a very large island for millions of years, resulting in isolation and development of unique animals and plants because of it. As India was moving it reached Asia and collided with it, thus becoming one land mass. Some Asian species managed to get in India, but mostly in its northern parts, while the central and southern parts remained dominated by the indigenous species. The Himalayan Mountain Range that formed because of the collision also helped in preserving lot of the indigenous species as it became a natural barrier that most species can not go through.

Which of the following would be a good adaptation for an organism that lives in the intertidal zone?
barxatty [35]

The right answer is A.

The foreshore, also called intertidal zone, is the tidal zone of the tides on the coast. The alternation of the tides which discover more or less the substrate according to the phases of the Moon determines the conditions of humidity, salinity and temperature of the foreshore.

These variations lead to a vertical ecological structuring of the foreshore in so-called supralittoral, mediolittoral and infralittoral stages. The floristic and faunistic stands of these stages are distinct, according to the requirements of organisms in water, salinity and temperature. Therefore it would be beneficial for organisms living in this period that it can live without depending on the water present in their environment since the presence of the latter is inconstant.

The foreshore is divided into several floors that correspond to different ecological conditions. These coastal stages are defined by the duration of their emergence and therefore by the level of the different tides.

Sever21 [200]
The scientists' conclusions are most likely unreliable because <u>he asked the wrong set of people for his survey.</u> By definition, environmentalists are those people who are inclined to believing that humans are entirely responsible for creating biological foot prints all over the Earth. They always advocate the protection of the environment and even persuade people to follow suit. It is natural for them to react in such a manner that they find dams as something harmful because to them, dams destroy the natural cycle of Mother Earth.
