Answer and Explanation:

During the whole biota history, there occurred extinctions due to different reasons.  

During the Cretaceous, which took place between 145-65 million years ago, there occurred a massive extinction that eliminated most of the species on the Earth. Many of the characteristic groups of this period were affected. Dinosaurs, Plesiosaurs, Ammonites, Tricodonts, Cycas, Gynkgos, Conifers, the recent angiosperms, birds, and mammals.  

The extinction was caused by the volcanic eruptions, and the unusual fall of many different asteroids, which caused important changes on the Earth´s surface. The consequent climatic change was what ended affecting all the species directly. The extinction was gradual, although it occurred in a short geological lapse of time.

Is<br> chicken pox like really really bad acne?
RideAnS [48]
Well, no.

Chicken pox are contagious, and acne is not. Also you would be very sick if you had chicken pox.

In appearance, I wouldn't go as far and say that they are alike, or similar as Chicken pox spread across the whole body.

Hope this helps!

What two elements have the same number of energy level (shells)?
melomori [17]

Answer:

Elements that are found in the same horizontal row (belong to the same period) in the periodic table, e.g. Fluorine and Neon both have the same energy level of 2.

<em>Note: The question does not specify any two elements.</em>

Explanation:

The modern periodic table is organized into eight vertical columns known as groups and seven horizontal rows known as periods. The atomic number ( number of protons in the nucleus) of elements increases when moving across the periodic table from left to right. The horizontal rows or periods represents an energy levels or the number of electron shells in an element. Energy levels (also called electron shells) are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found. Elements belonging to the same period have the same number of energy level or shells. For example, the elements belonging to Period 2 include lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. These all have the same number of energy level of 2.

makkiz [27]

Answer: The correct method would be - to collect the gas in an inverted graduated cylinder. Explanation: Place the aquatic plant under the mouth of the graduated cylinder and gather the gas by the water displacement that is delivered by the cycle of photosynthesis. At that point measure, the volume of gas gathered at different times. An individual could consider the impact of temperature, the measure of light, and the accessibility of supplements as components that may influence the pace of gas creation.

Which of the following can reduce biodiversity within a natural environment?
zepelin [54]
The answer is either b or c because bio means life and diversity means different and the ants stinging other insects get  rid of a population and maybe another species lives off of the species that ant killed.                                                                                                     
When the grasslands are converted into housing projects it gets rid of everything so no trees no animals and no diversity of living organisms other than humans
