Here are few of the things that scientists think may happen as the temperature rises. Some of them are already happening: Glaciers melting - Many glaciers are already melting and shrinking throughout the world. If the temperature increases they will continue to melt. This will cause animals that rely on glaciers such as polar bears and other species to become extinct. Ocean levels will rise - As the glaciers melt, the ocean levels will rise. This could cause flooding in cities located near the coast. Migration of animals - Animals will migrate to cooler spots as their old habitats get too warm. This could upset the food chain and put some species in danger of extinction. Extreme weather - Some scientists think that warming will fuel more powerful hurricanes as well as more droughts and flooding in different areas of the world. Change in ecosystems - cold weather biomes such as the tundra will shrink, while desserts will continue to expand. Hope this helped :)

Do predators really kill only the old and sick prey? What evidence is there for this statement

nalin [4]

There are many factors that determine what a predator will prey on. For instance if the predator is starving or if they are hunting in a pack. Predators will usually prey on animals that are easiest to be captured without using too much energy. The sick, young, old, small and unaware animals will often times fall prey since they are easiest to be caught. Predators don't necessarily prey only on the ill/ injured. Sick prey may be overlooked because their bodies may not provide the necessary sustence for the predator and others it may be feeding. Healthy large slow moving animals may be difficult to kill but the payoff is greater, especially if a pack is involved.

Which list shows the absolute values in order from greatest to least? Select each correct answer. ∣∣−156∣∣ , ∣∣−1712∣∣ , ∣∣1512∣

Serhud [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

By definition, the absolute value is equivalent to the distance between the number and zero, independently of the positive or negative symbol. It is also known as a <em>numerical magnitude of the number. </em>An absolute value is always equal to or bigger than zero. It is never negative. This is, the absolute value of the exact opposite numbers is always the same value. For example, the absolute value of the opposite numbers such as 8 and -8 is always I8I. When referring to absolute values we must always write them between two vertical and parallel bars: II symbols. So, I8I is the absolute value of -8.

...-9, -8, -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9...

↑----------- ║8║--------------↑↑--------- ║8║ ---------↑

Absolute value of -8 Absolute value of 8

According to these options:

∣∣−156∣∣ , ∣∣−1712∣∣ , ∣∣1512∣∣
∣∣−313∣∣ , ∣∣−323∣∣ , ∣∣223∣∣
∣∣−657∣∣ , ∣∣−637∣∣ , ∣∣527∣∣
∣∣11710∣∣ , ∣∣−1135∣∣ , ∣∣10310∣∣

and knowing what the absolute values are, we can confirm that the absolute values in order from greatest to least, is reflected by the ║−657║ , ║−637║ , ║527║ option.

Absolute values:

∣∣156∣∣ , ∣∣1712∣∣ , ∣∣1512∣∣ --> Not in order greatest to least
∣∣313∣∣ , ∣∣323∣∣ , ∣∣223∣∣ --> Not in order greatest to least
∣∣657∣∣ , ∣∣637∣∣ , ∣∣527∣∣ --> IN ORDER
∣∣11710∣∣ , ∣∣1135∣∣ , ∣∣10310∣∣ --> Not in order greatest to least

When the sun impacts weather, an interaction with the __________ takes place.

tigry1 [53]

Our star—the Sun—is a bubbling, boiling ball of fire. See Picture 1 to the right. It constantly belches out great clouds of hot gas. This gas is all charged up with electricity, too. This stuff travels at astounding speeds, some of it right toward Earth! This means that Earth’s weather happens inside the Sun’s weather!

Thank goodness Earth’s magnetic field (see Picture 2) and atmosphere protect us from most of this blast. Otherwise, the Sun’s weather would be OUR weather. Yikes!

However, we are still affected by the Sun’s atmosphere and its violent activities. We call this part of our weather “space weather,” because it comes to us through space from the Sun.
