Explain how goal of today’s classification system differs from earlier systems

Biology
1 answer:
gladu [14]3 years ago
3 0

Classification systems previously were having very different goals than modern classification systems. If we look at old eras, scientists like Aristotle  and Theophrastus  tried to classify organisms on the basis of apparent characteristics, habitat and simple other traits.

Old classification systems had alot of errors and flaws. For example they classified fish and whale in one group because they lived in water, now we know fish is amphibian while whale is mammal.

So we can say that the goal o earlier classification system were just to make groups of organisms on the basis of External features.

Goal of modern classification system:

Modern classification approach was started by Linnaeus. It focuses more on biological delimitation and evolutionary histories than mere external characteristics. It organizes organisms in groups in such a way that grouping reflects their evolutionary relatedness. It is not just specie level but also focuses on sub-specie and population level classification.


Thus modern goal is better in many terms and is more reliable than old classification goals.

Aleks [24]

Prior to 1900, sea levels rose at maximum, 4 cm per year. Since 1900 sea levels have risen 11 cm per year.

<h3>How sea level is measured?</h3>
  • Tide stations and satellite laser altimeters are the main tools used to measure sea level.
  • The height of the sea as measured along the shore in relation to a particular place on land is what tide stations all around the world tell us about what is happening locally.
  • NASA uses satellites to measure sea level all over the world.
  • Height of the ocean's surface, often known as sea level, is measured by the Jason-3 satellite using radio waves and other equipment.
  • It studies how the global sea level is changing over time for the entire Earth every 10 days.
  • The average sea level is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi), and it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 mi) at the poles.
