Answer:

The Oceans are saline or salty because of the several natural occurrences. One of the reason is the rivers because it brings water with minerals by crossing over soil and stones, moving salt along the way, which adds into the oceans, results in salinity by evaporating the water.

Ocean salinity levels can change from place to place. The Mediterranean Sea is saltier. The Atlantic Ocean has access to the freshwater rivers, such as the Amazon which provide less salinity in the ocean.

Why is a carrot more orange than an orange? One of my questions so hard. I dont know why.​
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

<u>Because carrots contain more beta-carotene (which is converted in the body to Vitamin A). A class of chemicals called carotenoids creates many of the bright pigments in plants in the yellow-red range. Beta-carotene is a bright orange color.

An adaptive trait: (mark all that apply)
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

[a] varies in its characteristics according to local environmental circumstances

[b] becomes common within a species through natural selection

[d] tends to promote the well being of an organism in its natural or social environment

Explanation:

The adaptive traits in the living organisms have a simple basic role, that is to make the organism better suited for survival in its environment. The adaptive traits come in all sorts of different shapes, be it some that are manifested in the physical appearance or in the behavior of the organisms. Adaptive traits can be increased speed, prolonged neck, living in a groups, developing thorns and many more. This type of traits occur when the organisms face increased competition or when the environment in which they live starts to change, so in order for them to survive, they start to develop traits that will make them better suited for the new conditions and more competitive. The main principle through which the adaptive traits are transferred and rapidly increase in a population is through natural selection, as the organisms choose the ones that have advantageous traits for their mates, while they live aside the others.
