Biology
1 answer:
djyliett [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Nearly 50%

Explanation:

The earth about 8000 years back was comprised of almost 6 billion hectares of forest-covered land. And according to the research, it has been observed that nearly 50% of the initially forest-covered region has been reduced, which has now become about 3 billion hectares.

These forests are being cut down for various purposes, such as construction of urban areas, construction of wooden houses, making furniture, overgrazing of animals, forest fire. It causes both naturally as well as due to anthropogenic activities.

Thus, nearly 50% of the forest is reduced in the last 8000 years.

Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?
marissa [1.9K]
It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example  so attractive.

Fdsci 101 what general trend do you observe relative to the masses of these species? question 3 options: all species basically h
Alexandra [31]

The third and last option is correct.


Species in the past (referring to dinosaurs) were more massive.

\bf~CO_{2} levels where higher in the past, which meant that plants prospered during that time since they had a easy access to food. That contributes to the fact that herbivores could grow bigger because there was more food. Which in turn, increases the size of early carnivores which eat bigger herbivores.




Hope it helped,


Happy homework/ study/ exam!
