Rock pocket mice species in New Mexico exist as mostly tan in color and easily blend in with the limestone rocks and sand that c

over the landscape of this region. About a thousand years ago there was a volcanic eruption which created lava flows on the surface which cooled and turned into a darker black rock color. The rock pocket mice living on the black rocks needed an adaptation to survive against visual predators like hawks and owls. Over multiple generations the population living amongst the black lava flow were observed to change to a black-furred color. Which statement below explains how this might have occurred?
Question 15 options:


Mice fur color cannot change, so they did not survive, rather a new species migrated to this area.


The change of fur color within the population over time became black as a result of the lava flow and allowed the mice to survive.


Mice fur color only changes when exposed to environmental factors such as UV radiation and pollutants.


The change of fur color within the population over time happened as a result of a mutation in one or more mice, allowing them to survive and pass along the mutated gene to future generations.

Answer:

The change of fur color within the population over time became black as a result of the lava flow and allowed the mice to survive.

Explanation:

Because the mice that have brown fur would stand out and get picked of by predators so over time the mice with the darker fur could hide more easy and spread there genetics more easily.

The correct answer is rapids and waterfalls.  

Rapids refers to the segments of streams with extensively vigorous currents, various obstacles, and steps in their streambeds. A waterfall refers to a vertical drop in a stream bed. Both are the locations of vigorous erosion.  

The rapids are generally produced where the resilient bedrock limits a stream to a narrow channel and forces an enhancement in the velocity of water.  

On the other hand, waterfalls are produced where the fast-flowing water negotiates a geologic contact amid the more resilient and less resistant layers of rock, or through a fault, which has analogized distinct kinds of rocks. Or it can be said that waterfalls usually produce at the end of a series of rapids.

A certain area received a large amount of rain and some of it remained on top of the soil. What happened to the rest of this wat
ValentinkaMS [17]

In the large rainfall is some water remains in the top of the soil the rest of this water is seeped into the ground.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Mainly the absorption of water by the ground depends upon the nature and the fertility of the soil.  
  • When the ground receives the water it mainly accounts for the absorption and then there will be a runoff. The absorption helps to raise the level of groundwater for future usage.
  • The amount of water that can get into the soil mainly depends upon the permeability of the soil surface. The water which can't infiltrate in the soil runs off into the water bodies.  
  • The water is an essential requirement for survival and the existence of biological organisms.
