Answer:
Runoff is one of the ways land water finds its way back to the ocean, so it can join the water cycle again.
Usually, all the water that falls to the land gets soaked in the soil. However, during long rainy periods, or in the spring, when snow and ice glaciers start melting, soil gets oversaturated with water, so this excess water start flowing on the earth's surface. Gravity directs this water from higher to lower areas, where it will flow into some valley river. This river will take the runoff water to another river, then to the sea or the ocean.
Now this water can evaporate and start the water cycle once more.
Answer:
B. natality + immigration = mortality + emigration
Explanation:
Migration refers to the movement of a group of people from one geographical region (location) to another geographical destination in search of better living conditions, work or social amenities.
Migration selectivity can be defined as the likelihood or tendency that a subset (part) of a group of people are going to move (migrate) out of a particular geographical location or area.
Some of the factors that influence migration selectivity are income level, age, education, gender etc.
Population change equation states that the change in the size of a population over a specific period of time is equal to the sum of the number of births and the number of immigrants that joined.
Mathematically, the population change equation is given by the formula;
Population Change = (Natality - Mortality) + (Immigration - Emigration)
Therefore, the equation which would create a stable population is given by the formula;
Natality + immigration = mortality + emigration.
answer: A. individual within the population acquire traits to adapt to the environment
The blood cell will lose water and will undergo lysis.
Cell membrane is permeable to water and can get/lose water via osmosis. Osmosis is induced by the gradient of concentration of the solution. In this case, the 10M salt solution has a very high oncotic pressure that it will attract nearby water. That means the water inside the cells will be taken into the solution and cell will continue to shrink and then die.
Organisms that originated in a certain geographic region and can only be found in that region are said to be endemic.
Explanation:
Endemic organisms are taxonomic species (plants and animals) which originates and distributed only in specific geographic regions. This state of evolution is called endemism.
They are said to be native or indigenous to that particular region which can be an ecological habitat, an entire nation, an island, a mountain range etc. Certain parts are known for majority of their species being endemic like St. Helen Island, New Caledonia Island, Hawaiian Islands, Southern regions of Africa, and Australia.
The species becomes endemic to a particular region because of the presence of certain bio-geographical environmental qualities of that habitat which are favorable to that species.
When these conditions become unfavorable, then species becomes restricted leading to endangerment or extinction of the species.
Examples:
- Kangaroo - Australia
- Nilgiri Tahr, - Nilgiri Hills, India
- The Redwood trees of West Coast of the USA
- Plants like kalo, sumac of Hawaii
