Soaring and gliding birds like eagle, vulture, albatross, sea gulls etc are efficiently adapted to utilize the air currents in their flight.
Explanation:
The soaring flight and gliding movements are special adaptation developed by birds to meet the challenge of increasing turbulent air current.
Birds have the extraordinary skill of flying smoothly and effortlessly even at very high altitudes
Birds soar by using thermal and dynamic soaring techniques.
Gliding movements help the birds to deflect the wind downward which helps to lift their bodies in the air. They do not flap their wings during gliding but just dive straight into the air which helps to increase their speed.
The adaptation of the bird’s structure with very light but strong bones on their wings helps to soar and glide in the air.
Feces are deposited on the ground, and the bacteria in the soil breaks it down, and uses the nutrients
Answer:
Independent: Purposely altered
Dependent: Changes with respect to the independent being altered
Controlled: Never changes
Explanation:
An independent variable is a variable in which does not rely on other pieces/variables of an experiment to assume a value. In other words, it does not change when other variables change. However, it can be changed intentionally by the scientist.
A dependent variable is a variable in which its change in value relies on other pieces/variables of an experiment to assume a value. So, if the indeoendent variable is changed, the dependent variable will change as well. The opposite is not true though - if the dependent variable changes (for whatever reason), the independent variable hasn't necessarily been changed.
A controlled variable is a variable that stays CONSTANT throughout an experiment. It is never changed, and nothing will change it. An example of a control variable is the number of participants in a study: no more participants are being added, and no participants are being removed. The number of participants remains STATIC throughout the study.
