Answer:  

The theory of punctuated equilibrium is a theory of evolutionary biology that aims to explain the pattern of speciation, which is observed in the fossil records. It states that the organism is in the stasis, until a major changes cause evolutionary pressure, which leads to a rapid speciation until stability is again reached between the organism.

Example: A species of sea animals live, breed and dies from thousands of years, suddenly the sea level changes and animals adapt to that situation.

The theory of punctuated equilibrium states that is a species appear in a fossil record, they will become stable over time and can show little changes in evolution as time goes by. An example would be the feline creatures. Although cats and tigers have a different structure in their body, the facial structure and the way they hunt are similar.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

A: used has four times the tensile strength of steel and the timber frame, incorporating

Explanation:

Option A is correct because it conveys the correct message intended by the statement and has no grammatical errors.

Option B is wrong because to say "has four times the tensile strength of steel has" is just grammatically and idiomatically wrong as has is used twice in the sentence.  

Option C is wrong because the statement that has to do with the flexibility of the timber's frame is more like a separate fact and does not fall under the scope of trying to further explain a fact.

Option D is wrong because it has the same problem in Option C. The comma that is placed after "steel" breaks the sentence and hence does not provide a good understanding of why the building can withstand earthquakes.

Option E is grammatically wrong for using does in the sentence "has four times the tensile strength steel does"

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power.

Explanation:

The power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{E}{t}

Here,

E is the energy required

t is time

The SI unit of power is Watts and the SI unit of energy is Joule. the commercial unit of energy is kilowatt per hour.    

Option (1) :  A kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of power is incorrect.

Option (2) : A gigawatt (GW) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (3) : A watt (W) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt x hour per year (kWh/yr) is a unit of energy is incorrect.

Option (4) : A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (d).

Explain why Earth is not spherical in shape, but bulges at<br> theEquator?
Strike441 [17]

Explanation:

Every rotating body experiences centrifugal force. Due to this force the body tends to bulge out around it mid point and gets flattened at the poles. Same is applicable to Earth as well. Since the Earth is rotating at a very high speed, its equator gets bulged out due to centrifugal force. Because of this bulged equator, Earth's pole to pole diameter and equatorial diameter has difference of around 42.76 km. It is flatter on the poles. This also proves that Earth is not a perfect sphere.
