Answer:

 D)  a large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms.

Explanation: Island theory suggests that you would see all but a large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms on a well-established island that was once part of a mainland. The plants no longer need an array of dispersal mechanisms; they breed with like species that are near-by on the island. Also, they have an established niche in that location that has proven successful over the decades; whatever they are doing is working.

A large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms.

Explanation:

Pretty much everything can be explained about Australia, as to where it was in the past, with which other large landmasses it was connected, its flora, its isolation from the other continents... One thing that still needs explaining is the large assortment of plant dispersal mechanisms, which is not typical for well established islands.

The reason as to why this is weird and hard to explain is because the well established islands have flora that is well adapted to their living conditions, and also it lacks competition from outside. In other words, they rule the place. The plants in Australia though exhibit dispersal mechanisms that are typical for the plants of the continental masses that are connected, so it causes big problem in explaining it.

Why were Indians against building the Klamath river dam?
Hatshy [7]
Toxic water quality in the Klamath River is a direct result of both upper basin agricultural development (the draining of wetlands and intense chemical use), and the presence of PacifiCorp's dams, creating warm, stagnant pools for algae to develop. Massive algae pools in Upper Klamath Lake.

Determining a person's reaction time (in milliseconds) would involve measurement on a(n) ____ scale of measurement.
goldfiish [28.3K]

Correct Answer: Ratio

Determining a person’s reaction time would involve measurement on a ratio scale that is expressed in milliseconds. It is a point where none of the quality being measured exists and its scale has an absolute zero. In ratio scale, it allows comparisons such as being twice as high or one-half as much. Additionally, in the case of a person’s reaction time, it can be state that a response of 25 milliseconds is twice as fast as a response time of 50 milliseconds.

What type of grasses dominate in an area where grazing is heavy or overgrazing occurs?
Rudik [331]

Answer:

short-grass, unpalatable ruderal and shrubs species.

Explanation:

Overgrazing can be defined as the intensive grazing of farm animals in a restricted area of land, usually over a long period of time. During this period, there is no recovery rate for emergence of newer species. Effects of Overgrazing reduces the  usefulness, productivity, and biodiversity of the land and is one cause of desertification and erosion.

In an area where grazing is heavy or overgrazing occurs, short-grass species usually less than 2-3 inches tall exists in the overgrazed areas. In other parts of the world, overgrazed pasture is typically taller than sustainably grazed pasture, with grass heights typically over 1 meter and dominated by unpalatable ruderal and shrubs species.
