Hi Jwyapo!

Answer - B. The area was covered by water

The correct anwer is B because of the fact that seashelss are usually in areas that are covered in water, seashells mostly live in oceans large bodies of water.

Hope This helps!

harina [27]

Answer:

Unique Biodiversity. Eighty percent of the world's known terrestrial plant and animal species can be found in forests, and tropical rainforests are home to more species than any other terrestrial habitat. A square kilometer of forest may be home to more than 1,000 species.

Answer: I am a Shrub

Explanation:

A Shrub also called a bush  is medium-sized woody plant  with many stems which is shorter than a tree but taller than a  herb  having a range in height of about 6-10 metres  Shrubs are divided into two --- Deciduous and evergreen.

Many Shrubs are planted in  homes and gardens because of the  aesthetic value they provide,  including serving as wind breaks when many of them are planted together.Example of Shrubs include  Rose, jasmine,Hibiscus  tulsi, etc.

What dies survivor ship curve mean? What an easy way to remember what it means?
vredina [299]
Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.

ENERGY TRANSFER IN THE ATMOSPHERE:

Atmosphere surrounds the earth made up of different layers of gases such as Argon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Exophere, Thermosphere, Mesophere, Stratosphere, Toposphere

The energy that drives the climate system comes from the Sun. When the Sun's energy reaches the Earth it is partially absorbed in different parts of the climate system. The absorbed energy is converted back to heat, which causes the Earth to warm up and makes it habitable. Solar radiation absorption is uneven in both space and time and this gives rise to the intricate pattern and seasonal variation of our climate. To understand the complex patterns of Earth's radiative heating we begin by exploring the relationship between Earth and the Sun throughout the year, learn about the physical laws governing radiative heat transfer, develop the concept of radiative balance, and explore the implications of all these for the Earth as a whole. We examine the relationship between solar radiation and the Earth's temperature, and study the role of the atmosphere and its constituents in that interaction, to develop an understanding of the topics such as the "seasonal cycle" and the "greenhouse effect".


The Sun and its energy.

The Sun is the star located at the center of our planetary system. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. In the Sun's interior, a thermonuclear fusion reaction converts the hydrogen into helium releasing huge amounts of energy. The energy created by the fusion reaction is converted into thermal energy (heat) and raises the temperature of the Sun to levels that are about twenty times larger that of the Earth's surface. The solar heat energy travels through space in the form of electromagnetic waves enabling the transfer of heat through a process known as radiation.


Solar radiation occurs over a wide range of wavelengths. However, the energy of solar radiation is not divided evenly over all wavelengths but is rather sharply centered on the wavelength band of 0.2-2 micrometers (μm=one millionth of a meter).


The physics of radiative heat transfer.

Before proceeding to investigate the effect of solar radiation on Earth we should take a moment to review the physical laws governing the transfer of energy through radiation. In particular we should understand the following points:


The radiative heat transfer process is independent of the presence of matter. It can move heat even through empty space.

All bodies emit radiation and the wavelength (or frequency) and energy characteristics (or spectrum) of that radiation are determined solely by the body's temperature.

The energy flux drops as the square of distance from the radiating body.

Radiation goes through a transformation when it encounters other objects (solid, gas or liquid). That transformation depends on the physical properties of that object and it is through this transformation that radiation can transfer heat from the emitting body to the other objects.


Radiation transfer from Sun to Earth.

Properties of Solar radiation: The Sun is located at the center of our Solar System, at a distance of about 150 x 106 kilometers from Earth. With a surface temperature of 5780 K (degrees Kelvin = degrees C + 273.15), the energy flux at the surface of the Sun is approximately 63 x 106 W/m2. This radiative flux maximizes at a wavelength of about 0.5 μm.

Solar radiation on Earth: As the Sun's energy spreads through space its spectral characteristics do not change because space contains almost no interfering matter. However the energy flux drops monotonically as the square of the distance from the Sun. Thus, when the radiation reaches the outer limit of the Earth's atmosphere, several hundred kilometers over the Earth's surface, the radiative flux is approximately 1360 W/m2.
