Answer:

Five types of geological evidence that provide strong support for the concept of continental drift :-

Explanation:

1. Occurrences of plant and animal fossils throughout Gondwanaland.

2. Matching of continental coastlines of Africa and South America.

3. The occurrence of volcanic rocks of similar age on different continents.

4. Ancient occurrences of tropical plant fossils in rocks from high latitudes.

5. Continuity of rocks and geological structures extending from South    America to Africa.

This evidence was given by the geologist of that time like the Alfred Wegener in his period and since then have been seen to date are the most trusted evidence in the evolutionary phase of supercontinents.

1. Why does the temperature decreases with increase in altitude?<br>​
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The main gases which play an important role in maintaining the temperature of the atmosphere are carbon dioxide and the water vapours. As the altitude increases, the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere decreases (due to gravity), which consequently results in decrease of temperature, which means there is not enough CO2 and water vapours to keep increasing the temperature.

Hope that helps...

Question 2
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The probability of a Virgin America flight being delayed by a late-arriving aircraft is 1.73%. The probability of a Virgin America flight being delayed for any reason is 8.01% (as calculated in Question 1).

So if a Virgin America flight is delayed, the probability that it is because of a late-arriving aircraft is  1.73/8.01=21.6%

Damage to the ecosystem may cause loss of several valuable species and may result in increase in the numbers of parasite or pred
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

True, several ecosystems have been damaged thus conserationalist focus on protecting several species.

Explanation:

  • As the ecosystem is not only a part of land found on the earth it involves the entire system of the mountain to oceans to the atmosphere to the food web and even the humans. Thus ecologists and biologists are aware of the fact that man for his selfish needs has destroyed the natural carrying capacity of the ecosystem beyond repair.
  • Thus conservationists focus on protecting the entire chain of species as all are linked to the same biotic community and hence live in harmony and coexistence of each other.
  • By keeping these species protected the balance of energy flow in the ecosystem will remain stable and population of these species will continue to grow thus they focus on the making biological areas for their protection, reserved forest and protected forest areas are solely created so that the species get their chances to survive.
