<h3>Answer:</h3>

                 Curium-247 <em>i.e.</em> ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Alpha decay is given by following general equation,

                              ᵃₓA    →    ⁴₂He  +  ᵃ⁻⁴ₓ₋₂B

Where;

           A  =  Parent Isotope

           B  =  Daughter Isotope

           ᵃ  =  Mass Number

           ₓ  =  Atomic Number

Californium-251 is the parent isotope in our case and it has 98 protons (atomic number) and is given as,

                                                 ²⁵¹₉₈Cf

The alpha decay reaction of Californium-251 will be as,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆B

The symbol for B with atomic number 96 was found to be the atom of Curium (Cm) by inspecting periodic table. Hence, the final equation is as follow,

                               ²⁵¹₉₈Cf     →     ⁴₂He  +  ²⁴⁷₉₆Cm

Both of the lizards have adapted by having their skin the same colour as their habitat so they could camouflage into the environment and not be spotted by predators.

the rabbit population would decrease as the rabbits would be unfamiliar with the new predators way of hunting so they wouldn't have adapted to be able to get away from the new predator

A geologist is studying the shore along a river. She finds a pile of rocks at the base of a riverbank. These broken rock pieces
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The scientist who studies the earth constituent like solids, gas and liquid is called a geologist. Weathering and erosion are the correct blanks.

<h3>What are weathering and erosion?</h3>

The process of the deterioration of any solid particles like minerals, soils and rocks is called weathering. It occurs due to biochemical substances, atmospheric gases and water pressure.

The process of the transportation of the rocks and mineral particles away from their original position is called erosion it is due to forceful air and water.

The rocks moved from their original place to some another due to weathering and this process of their transportation is called erosion.

Therefore, <u>weathering </u>and <u>erosion </u>are the correct blanks.

How does the density of air affect local weather patterns?
JulijaS [17]
When winds move air masses, they carry their weather conditions (heat or cold, dry or moist) from the source region to a new region. When the air mass reaches a new region, it might clash with another air mass that has a different temperature and humidity. This can create a severe storm.
