<span>Basically, it is fossilized coral that - for what we know - dates back to about 350 million years ago. The Petoskey Stone is known to develop in warm seas near the equator (since it is coral it forms in seas). This fits the location is close to the equator. Since this moved, it shows the power of Plate Tectonics. Plate Tectonics is related to the Theory of the Continental Drift.</span>
Answer:
Chemical properties are tested on not because of their color or their appearance but how they will react to certain tests. Such as; is it flammable? Could it be toxic? Physical properties are tested on and observed because of the texture, the color, smell and etc.
Hope this helps!

Answer:
Because of niche partitioning or differentiation.
Explanation:
Competition is a common ecological and evolutive process in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species and limited, they compete to gain it.
The <u>principle of competitive exclusion</u> states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. <u>When two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation.</u>
Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to character displacement. Resource partitioning and differentiation allow both species to coexist more effectively.
In the exposed example, swallows and bats feed on insects and breed in similar habitats. However, swallows feed during the day, while bats feed during the night. Feeding at different times is an example of niche differentiation. In this way, both species can inhabit the same area and feed on the same source of food, but avoid competition.
The similarities in the structure of the three species is due to their sharing a common ancestor while the differences is due to adaptation.
<h3>What is divergent evolution?</h3>
Divergent evolution is evolution where individuals who shared a common ancient ancestor process to have differing structures due to differences in their habitats.
All three species that Flor observed having similar structures is because they had a common ancestor.
The species had differences because they evolved to adapt to their different environments.
Wall geckos and Pacific gulls have temporal holes in their skulls as adaptations to their habitat.
