Answer:

3. The land heats up faster than water, creating a sea breeze.

Explanation:

In Florida, the average high-temperature is 72.9°F (22.7°C), and the average low-temperature is 52.3°F (11.3°C) in the month of December. A sea breeze can be described as it is a wind that blows from the ocean inland towards the land. This breeze occurs most often when there is a temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land, particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun.

The sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land during the day. Water and land, both absorb the energy from the sun. Water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean. The warm air over the land will rise throughout the day, causing low pressure at the surface. Over the water, high surface pressure will form because of the colder air. To compensate, the air will sink over the ocean. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

What is an enzyme? Describe using the words enzyme, catalyst, substarte, and active site.
fgiga [73]
An enzyme is a catalyst which means it changes the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs. It never alters the reaction in any way or changes nay chemical properties, only the speed at which it occurs and is completely absorbed in the meantime. The substrates that are reacting just have their reaction faster.

A zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania for the first time. Why would this make an ecologist worried?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Zebra mussels can be a nuisance in novel ecosystems. When introduced in a non-native ecosystem with no natural predators, they reproduce rapidly displacing native mussels. Zebra mussels take up much of the algar that feeds the other native species hence starving them to death and causing their numbers to plummet. In addition, they attach to the other mussels and clog up power plants, that use the local water, water intakes.

There are two different species of finch that live on the same small island, species A andspecies
frosja888 [35]

On the islands of the Galapagos lives a group of birds called finches. There are 13 species in this group. These species have diverse ecologies--some eat seeds, some eat insects, some eat fruit, and some even eat cactus. Although the bodies of these species look fairly similar, their beaks are very different. That is because it is their beak that is adapted to these diverse ways of feeding (Figure 8.14).

How would you compare a circle to an ellipse?
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

A circle is a closed curved shape that is flat. ... Instead of having all points the same distance from the center point, though, an ellipse is shaped so that when you add together the distances from two points inside the ellipse (called the foci) they always add up to the same number.
