Form a hypothesis about how the loss of estuaries can increase erosion along shorelines​

Biology
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The hypothesis can be made as follows:

' If there are less or no estuaries in a river, then there will be more erosion at the shorelines.'

A hypothesis is a tentative statement which can either be supported through experiments or proven to be wrong.

In the following scenario, we can conduct experiments by taking into observation those rivers which have estuaries and those which do not have estuaries. We can then compare the erosion of the shorelines of the rivers to validate our hypothesis.

Peat is a mixture of partially decomposed plant and animal material found in waterlogged, acidic, anaerobic environments. people
Verizon [17]

because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel. The correct option is B.

<h3>What exactly are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossil fuels are fuels derived from the remains of dead plants and animals that decomposed over time under intense heat and pressure.

Because their replenishment time is longer than a human lifetime, fossil fuels are non-renewable energy sources.

Some examples of fossil fuels are petroleum, coal, etc.

The missing options of the question are:

  1. peat is a fossil fuel because rewetting it takes only 3-5 years.
  2. peat is a fossil fuel because the total time for restoration is lengthy.
  3. peat is not a fossil fuel because it has biologic origins, making it a biofuel.
  4. peat is not a fossil fuel because humans can promote the replenishment of peat.

The restoration process of peat takes a long time of more than 100 years. As a result, because the total time for restoration is lengthy, peat can be considered a fossil fuel.

Thus, the correct option is B.

List five conditions that can disrupt genetic equilibrium and cause evolution to occur
Colt1911 [192]
1. Non random mating
                                    In genetic equilibrium individuals must mate at random. However, in many species, individuals select mates based on heritable traits, such as size, strength, or coloration, a practice known as sexual selection.

2. Small population size
                                        Genetic drift does not have major effects on large populations but can affect small populations. Thus evolutionary change due to genetic drift happens more easily in small populations.

<span>3. Immigration or Emigration
                                                 Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.

4. Mutations
                   Individuals who join a populations may introduce new alleles into the gene pool. Likewise individuals who leave may remove alleles from the gene pool. Any movement of individuals into (immigration) or out of (emigration) a population can disrupt genetic equilibrium, a process know as gene flow.

5. Natural Selection
 if different genotypes have different fitness, genetic equilibrium will be disrupted, and evolution will occur.</span>
