In a humid continental climate region, to what conditions would plants and animals have to be adapted?

1 answer:

7 0

In a region that has a humid continental climate, the animals and plants living there should have some specific adaptations in order for them to survive without any bigger problem in the environment.

The animals have thicker fur which is also waterproof, in order to keep them warm, and to not allow that they are wet and heavy because of the common rains. They also tend to develop and even thicker winter coat in order for them to survive the cold snowy winters.

The plants tend to shed their leafs in the autumn as they put themselves in a hibernation mode for the cold winter, and then grow them again in the spring for the vegetative season in the coming months. They tend to be plants that manage to consume large amounts of water, but also can restrict the amount of water, as the evaporation is not as high in this parts, so they have to limit the water in order to not over-saturate themselves.

PUT THIS IN YOUR OWN WORDS SO YOU DON'T GET COPYRIGHTED

Mr/Mrs.logger, in this letter I would like to persuade you to stop cutting down trees. It will help the economy, you can find a new job, and you will understand that being greedy is not okay. Keep reading on to understand why. Thank you!

Cutting down trees in this state is illegal. I understand you are trying to help your family by making money. But, there are many other ways to do so like, helping people build fences, go to a store and be a cashier, help people move things, etc. Finding another job could help you put food on your family's table and not send you to jail.

If that didn't persuade you to look at the Amazon Rainforest for refrence, people took down those trees to help support their family but it only ended up destroying another family's home. All of these creatures lost their homes that they had to keep their family safe, warm, alive. But, all those loggers did was put these animals on the brink of extinction just to help their own families. And, the Amazon Rainforest is very important and needed in this world. It is one of the many reasons that earth is habitable, it's water cycle's, the many tree's giving off Co2, it is also home to 30 million people! and over 10% of the world's biodiversity! That's a lot. And, the tree's that you are cutting down could someday be a rainforest that will contain millions of people. So really think about it, think about what you are doing to the world, think about how you can fix it.

So I hope that I was able to persuade you to learn to do something else that won't ruin or economy, I mean we all mess up with something that will make our Co2 footprint bigger but there are many ways to try and fix that like tyring to make a compost garden, plant a garden, do anything that will help your family and the animals/plants surrounding you.

A radioactive isotope, Phlebotinum, decays into Dilithium with a half-life of 42 million years. If we find a rock with 25% Phleb

sineoko [7]

Answer:

time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and 75% Dilithium is 168 million years

Explanation:

radioactive isotope of Phlebotinum decays into Dilithium.

time taken to half life takes = 42 million years

half life means that the Phlebotinum is 50% and Dilithium is also 50%

and now it is given that Phlebotinum is 25% and Dilithium is 75%

hence this condition will come after two half lives.

for one half life it takes 42 million years

and for second half life time becomes 4 times of first half life

time for 25% Phlebotinum and 75% Dilithium is = 4 × 42

= 168 million years.

hence time taken for 25% Phlebotinum and 75% Dilithium is 168 million years

How does the coriolis effect contribute to formation of tropical cyclones ?

algol13

The Coriolis effect is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to its inertial frame. Any reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of that object; and vice versa.

Since the the earth rotates on a 23° axis, circulating air is deflected towards the right in the northern hemisphere and towards the left in the southern hemisphere.

Because the air is moving in a curved path creating circular spin patterns as the air travels from areas of high pressure to low pressure.

And so that’s why hurricanes in the north rotate counterclockwise, and tropical cyclones in the south rotate clockwise.

I hope that helps.
