If glaciers carry a mixture of different clast sizes, why are glacial outwash deposits layered?

Biology

Glacial outwash deposits layered because clasts fall out of the glacier in size progression. Glaciofluvial sediments are stratified deposits of sand and gravel, glacialy derived, but deposited by streams flowing from the glacier. Glaciolacustrine sediments are generally thinly layered, clay and silt-sized clasts carried by streams and deposited in quiet water.

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

Sometimes offspring do not resembles their parents because of variation, so these character varies in population. When Darwin went to Galapagos Islands, he observed an amazing diversity of characters. He realized that there were many varieties of finches in the same island. He collected two sets of parent offspring data in two different years. Most of the parents who captured before their beak depth were known then he captured offspring with fledged and measured their beak depth. He calculated average beak depth of two parents and then compared with offspring beak depth.

Which of the following properties of carbon give it particular importance to life
olga55 [171]

I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

If a population is steady at its carrying capacity, but then a group of organisms from that species moves in to the same space o
baherus [9]

Answer:

It will remain relatively stable

Explanation:

<u>The carrying capacity (k) of an environment is a factor that represents the maximum number of organisms of a particular species such environment can support based on the resources it has. </u>

<em>Below the carrying capacity</em>, the population of a species still has the potential to increase due to resource availability, and <em>above the carrying capacity</em>, the population has the potential to reduce due to the overstretching of the available resources. Factors that keep the population from expanding significantly beyond the carrying capacity include competition for resources, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, etc.

<em>Hence, if a population is steady at its carrying capacity and a group of organisms from that species moves into the same space occupied by the original population, the carrying capacity will only increase temporarily before factors such as competition and natural disasters operate to bring the carrying capacity to the normal level. </em>
