Explanation:

Land and water absorb most of the solar radiation from the sun. Some of this solar energy from land and water is then transferred to the lower atmosphere which is in contact with the continents and oceans. From Land, this occurs mostly as heat energy or infrared radiation. Water usually transfers this energy through the evaporation of water into the atmosphere (This is responsible for clouds in the troposphere).

The lower atmosphere therefore gets heated faster and warmer than the upper atmosphere. This causes it to become less dense. The air mass rises into upper atmosphere where it released this energy and cools down.  It gains density and sinks again and the cycle continues. The energy released into the upper atmosphere is distributed across the globe by wind currents like the Gulf Stream.

In a population of beetles, some are green, some are brown, and some are mixed. If the beetles live in vegetation, the ________
vodomira [7]

<u>Answer</u>:- Option B Brown

<u>Explanation</u>:-

  • When the beetles are living in a vegetation, then the most important point is that they are living in an environment where <em>green is the predominant color.</em>
  • Since, the birds who will come to look for food, will have to identify  the beetles against a green backdrop the green beetles are <em>most</em> safe as they can easily merge with their green surroundings. This is known as camouflage.
  • The mixed beetles will be less fit as compared to the green beetles as the chances of them to be identified by the birds will be more as they are not completely green and are not able to fully merge with the surroundings.
  • However, the brown beetles will be <em>least</em> fit to survive in this environment as they can be most easily identified against the green backdrop. They will be the most conspicuous of the three beetles. Thus, the birds will feed more often on the brown beetles and hence, they are least fit to survive in the vegetation.

This phenomena in which the organism who is best adapted to survive in a given environment and leave more progeny is termed as <em>survival of the fittest.</em>
