Answer:

The idea that Earth’s lithosphere is divided into large, moving sections is called the <u>plate tectonics theory</u>.

Explanation:

The theory of plate tectonics assumes that the lithosphere is divided into large, limitedly stable segments, formed by rigid rock, called plates. These plates extend throughout the globe. There are seven plates in total, such as the Pacific Plate, the Coconuts Plate, etc. These plates reach depths between 100 and 200 km. Each plate runs horizontally with respect to its neighbor. Approximately seventy percent of the area covered by the plates are the oceans, such as the Pacific, the Atlantic or the Indian Ocean.

The faster a cheetah can run, the more likely it is to capture its prey. Cheetahs with longer legs are able to run faster than t
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This is the more likely explanation, as there must be a limit to leg length in an animal that has to run very fast and strain their muscles and bones to the limit to do so.

As for the other options, there is no evidence to conclude that the genes that are involved in cheetahs leg length do not undergo mutation because the population exhibits a variety of leg lengths. Neither can we conclude that there are any isolated subgroups in the pupulation. Natural selection does act upon the traits involved in predation, as the question starts by saying that the faster a cheetah can run the more likely it is to capture its prey.

How can local environmental changes have global effects?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.

Pollution of air through emission  of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.

Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable
