At noon the sun is directly overhead the sun rays fall vertically on the body so the shadow is very short.

So the rays fall vertically on the body. in mornings and evenings the rays fall at inclined position. So shadows are long at mornings or evenings.

Shadows are shortest at noon because the sun is directly overhead. So the rays fall vertically on the body. In the morning and in the evening, the rays fall at inclined position. So shadows are longer during morning and evening.

Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to come primarily from cfcs rather than from natural sources such as volcanoes because:

Andreyy89

he answer is because samples of air taken over erupting volcanoes shows that volcanoes contribute a small amount of chlorine in the stratosphere compared to CFCs. Volcanic eruptions account for a large instability of chlorine from land to the atmosphere on a yearly basis. This is in addition to chlorine that enters the atmosphere from sea spray, industrial processes and biological gases which are from CFCs. All of these inputs happen near or at the base of the atmosphere. Very little of the material emitted from volcanoes makes it up into the upper reaches of our atmosphere which is the stratosphere where it could touch the ozone layer. However, most of it is believed to be deposited lower down which is in the troposphere, where it then rained out back to the surface of the earth.

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

social facilitation

Explanation:

The concept of social facilitation was first proposed by Norman Triplett. After observing a cycling event, in which he noticed that cyclist performed better when they have others around competing with them, rather than cycling alone just against time. This led him to duct an experiment where he gave some children strings to wound fishing reel. He observed that, children wound the fishing reel faster in the presence of other children performing similar task, when compared to when perform such task alone.

This concept discovered by Norman Triplett, best illustrates the concept of social facilitation, which posits that, individuals tend to perform better in the mere presence of others or when they perform a task with others, than when performing the task alone.

Two species of spiny mice compete for the same food source. One species of spiny mice feeds on insects during the day, while the

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Temporal partitioning or niche differentiation

Explanation:

Temporal partitioning refers to the variability in the competitive abilities of different species competing for the same resources based on varying conditions of the environment.

The environmental factors could be light, temperature, moisture, etc. Each species specializes in feeding within varied condition of one or more of the factors.

In this case, both species are in competition but while the first species feeds during the day, the second species feeds during the night. Here, light and temperature probably plays a huge factor.

Temporal partitioning is also known as niche differentiation, segregation, separation or niche partitioning.
