C. The difference in specific heat capacity between land and water

Explanation:

Land breeze is product of the specific capacity differences between the land and water.

Water has a very high specific heat capacity. It takes a longer time to warm up and lose heat. Land absorbs and loses heat faster.

Due to this, the air around water at night is very warm because the water does not lose heat readily.

The land loses heat faster and the air around it is cold. Cold air is dense.

By convection current, the warm air from the ocean blows landward and the cool air on land replaces them thereby setting up convection current and thus land breeze.

During the day, the reverse is the case. The land is warmer and the air around it is warm too. It moves seaward to replace the cold air on the water and sea breeze is set up.

Moths can be black or white. in highly polluted areas the tree bark of trees is dark, which allows the black moths to blend in.
Valentin [98]
The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

How are biomes and climate zones different ?
bazaltina [42]
Ave you ever wondered why one area of the world is a desert, another a grassland, and another a rainforest? Why are there different forests and deserts, and why are there different types of life in each area? The answer is climate. 
<span>Climate is the characteristic condition of the atmosphere near the earth's surface at a certain place on earth. It is the long-term weather of that area (at least 30 years). This includes the region's general pattern of weather conditions, seasons and weather extremes like hurricanes, droughts, or rainy periods. Two of the most important factors determining an area's climate are air temperature and precipitation. </span>
