To survive they have made modified leaves into spines to prevent excessive loss of water from the plant body and deep roots to get to a water source.
Answer:
The authors found that, on average, a 1% reduction in the per capita GDP implies a 0.24 to 0.40 increase in infant mortality per 1,000 live births. In a more recent study, O’Hare et al.17 found effects of 0.33 for infant mortality and 0.28 for under-five mortality. These results are higher than those observed in the present study, which found an association of approximately 0.12 for infant mortality and 0.10 for under-five mortality rate for the total sample, and 0.15 and 0.14, respectively, for the subsample of low- and middle-income countries. This difference is probably due to the countries included in the sample, as Baird et al.14 and O’Hare et al.17 include only middle- and low-income countries in their analysis, while the present study included countries from the three income strata, with only 14% of the sample consisting of low-income countries. According to Maruthappu et al.6, the effect of economic crises on the health of children under five in the poorest countries is three-fold higher than the effect on children in high-income countries.
Explanation:
Two questions which arises in my mind about aurora borealis are:
- Why does aurora borealis occur?
- Why does aurora borealis occur in a particular time of the year?
Answers:
- As solar wind approaches the Earth, it meets the Earth's magnetic field. In the ionosphere, the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes aurora borealis.
- Aurora borealis is active the whole year. Since it needs to be dark in order to see aurora borealis in the sky, late August/September through the very beginning of April is the best time to go to a destination located in the aurora zone for a chance to see them.
Note: These are the questions which arises in my mind only. It may differ from person to person.

The correct answer is - d. colder and denser.
The main differences between the surface currents and deeper currents are the temperature and density, and that actually decides their position in the water, on the surface, or deeper.
The surface currents are warmer, and because they are warmer the molecules are much more loose, so the density is lower, which in return makes it easier, thus it is in the surface.
The deeper currents are colder, and because they are colder the molecules are much closer and more concentrated, so the density is higher, which means that they are heavier, thus fall deeper below the easier currents.
