Answer:

The phenomenon is called convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the name given to the evolutionary phenomenon whereby a similar characteristic appears independently in two unrelated species, that is, that do not have a direct common ancestor from whom they could inherit that characteristic. Similar characteristics resulting from evolutionary convergence are called analogues or homoplasms (from the Greek, “shaped in the same way”). This process is very common and can be explained by natural selection, since similar selective pressures tend to favor similar adaptations.

What is the benefit of composting?
andre [41]
Composting is a form of waste that uses organic materials to put into plants in order to help them grow and flourish. It saves energy, and it doesn't give off many gasses to help the Earth. 
However, it is ineffective on the large scale and cannot be mass produced to help Earth instantly because of the large amounts of inorganic materials.

Describe how each of these 4 processes can affect salinity. Are they increasing or decreasing the salinity?
Charra [1.4K]

Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.

Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.

Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.

Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.

Hope this helps!
