Answer:

Ocean currents bring nutrient-rich water into coastal regions.

Explanation:

About 70 percent of our planet is covered by water. The earth has been declared a "blue planet" because it looks blue from space. About 96 percent of this water is the sea or salt water, made up of the ocean that covers the Earth.

Within these oceans, there are many different types of habitats or environments inhabited by plants and animals, from the freezing of polar ice to tropical coral reefs. Most marine life is found in coastal habitats.

lina2011 [118]

Answer: The observation "A" leads us to conclude that the finches populations are from two different species

Explanation:

According to the biological concept of species, <em>a set of individuals are from the same species if they are able to reproduce and leave fertile offspring</em>. This is key so one species can be successful and perpetuate through time. If they cannot leave descendants, then the species will be extinct. However, it’s possible that two individuals from different species mate and have descendants, but they cannot leave fertile offspring. When they are from different species, the offspring will be sterile and it is called a hybrid.  

In the case of the South American finch, the island's finch population and mainland's finch population belong to different species because their offspring is sterile. To have different features, as different feather's color, or to have other dietary preference is not enough to say that they are different species. This is because within the same species, individuals can have variations. For example, we can different eye color and belong to the same species.

What events occur during high tide
makkiz [27]

Answer:

The tidal force causes Earth—and its water—to bulge out on the side closest to the Moon and the side farthest from the Moon. These bulges of water are high tides. As the Earth rotates, your region of Earth passes through both of these bulges each day. When you're in one of the bulges, you experience a high tide.

Choose the statements below that are true.
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.

Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.

All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.

Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
