Answer:

A gain; lower

Explanation:

When an aircraft is flying in a region of warm air, the altitude is higher than the one the altimeter indicates. On the other hand, when the air is cold, the actual altitude is lower.

Given these facts, if the aircraft flies from warm to cold air, the altimeter will read too high, when in fact, the altitude will be lower. Conversely, if the aircraft flies from cold to warm air, the altimeter will read too low, when in fact, the altitude is higher.

What unusual adaptation did the Gorgonopsid have that made it such a dominant predator?
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Gorgonopsia is an extinct clade of non-mammalian synapsids from the Permian period. Gorgonopsians were quadrupedal predators with prominent canine teeth, and the largest species were the apex predators of their ecosystems.[1] Like other non-mammalian synapsids, gorgonopsians were once described as "mammal-like reptiles", due to their mix of mammalian and reptilian traits. However, this description is no longer considered accurate as they are not reptiles.[2] Rather, as therapsids, they are closely related to mammals. Gorgonopsian fossils have been found in Russia and Africa.[3]

ratelena [41]
Yes because it has been an importance to all cultures through time in my opinion. It helps people mentally this includes the community and romantic partners be more loving and kind. Romance can be seen as more of a desire than a necessity for some people though so it really depends on your opinion.
