Answer:

Mimicry

Explanation:

Living organisms are known to be able to adapt to the natural environment in which they exist over time. One of the adaptation techniques is called MIMICRY. Mimicry is a type of physical adaptation whereby an organism (animal) looks similar in appearance to another organism in order to discourage or push away predators.

This is the case of the viceroy butterfly in this question, which has coloration that is almost identical to the poisonous monarch butterfly. Although, the viceroy butterfly is not poisonous but its coloration that looks like poisonous monarch butterfly makes it appear poisonous to predators. Viceroy butterfly is said to mimick the poisonous monarch butterfly in order to deceive predators.

a rural kansas watershed that is ungauged has an area of 475 acres and a main channel length of 6870 feet with an average slope
dlinn [17]

Answer:

\mathbf{Q_p  =682 \ \  ft^3/s}

Explanation:

Given that:

Area = 475 acres

The length of the channel (L) = 6870 feet

The average water shield slope (S) = 100 feet/mile

Since; 1 mile = 5280 feet

Burst duration D = 15 min

∴

100 feet/mile = 100/5280

The average water shield slope (S) = 5/264

Using hydrograph method:

The time of concentration t_c = 0.0078L^{0.77} S^{-0.385}

where;

L = 6870

S = 5/264

t_c = 0.0078(6870)^{0.77} (\dfrac{5}{264})^{-0.385}

t_c =32.34 min

Since 60 min = 1 hour

32.34 min will be (32.34*1)/60

= 0.539 hour

Lag time T_l = 0.67\times t_c

T_l = 0.67\times 32.34

T_l = 21.6678\ min

The time to peak i.e

T_p = \dfrac{D}{2}+ T_L \\ \\  T_p = \dfrac{15}{2}+ 21.6678 \\ \\  T_p = 29.168 \ min

T_r = \dfrac{T_p}{5.5} \\ \\  T_r = \dfrac{29.1678}{5.5} \\ \\ T_r = 5.30 \ min

Since D = 15 min is not equal to T_r, then we hydrograph apart from T_r duration lag time.

Then;

T_p \ ' = T_p + \dfrac{D-t_r}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 29.168 + \dfrac{15-5.30}{4} \\ \\ T_p \ ' = 31.593

Now, we need to determine the peak discharge Q_p by using the formula:

Q_p  = \dfrac{484 \times A}{T_p \ '}

where

484 = peak factor

Recall that A = 475 acres, to miles, we have:

A = 0.7422 mile²

T_p \ ' = 31.593/60

∴

Q_p  = \dfrac{484 \times 0.7422}{\dfrac{31.593}{60}}

\mathbf{Q_p  =682 \ \  ft^3/s}

At the bottom of the food chain, green phytoplankton is eaten by krill and shrimp. The krill and shrimp are later eaten by squid, whales, and fish. Later, seals, penguins and birds eat the squid. Finally, killer whales/orca eat squid as well.

Hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP!!!!<br><br> How can a language act as a centripetal force? Provide a real-world example
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

English in the U.S, Hindi in India, Bengali in Bangladesh, and Punjabi in Pakistan are all total different languages. I myself only know 3 Korean, English and Chinese. For example imagine I didn't know English and only Korean and traveled to the USA. It would be really hard to ask for something because I wouldn't know the language! So that is how language acts as a centripetal force.

Occasionally earthquakes occur as a result of collisions along oceanic-continental convergent boundaries. Where do these earthqu
Valentin [98]

Answer:

 on land but close to oceans

Explanation:

A boundary between an oceanic plate and a continental plate will be near a coastline., not "far from the coast" or "in the middle of oceans."

Often, mountains are also near that boundary, but mountains may also exist elsewhere, so "anywhere there are mountains" is not an apt description.

The best choice is "on land but close to oceans."

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The 2011 Tohoku earthquake near Japan was offshore by 67 km. It came from the subduction zone where the Pacific plate dives beneath the Eurasian plate. It is an example of a plate boundary quake that occurred offshore, rather than on land.
