Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3

kow [346]

Answer:

This question is asking to identify the independent and dependent variables in the experiment.

Independent variable: Type/brand of stapler

Dependent variable: Number of jams

Explanation:

The independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to control or manipulation by the experimenter. It is manipulated in order to effect a change in the dependent variable, which is dependent on it. In this experiment, the INDEPENDENT variable is the BRAND/TYPE OF STAPLER USED because it is what is changed or manipulated to produce an outcome.

On the other hand, a dependent variable is that which the experimenter measures. It is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the NUMBER OF JAMS is the variable responding to the type of stapler used (independent), hence, it is the DEPENDENT variable.

elena55 [62]
Allopatric speciation, also referred to as geographic speciation, is a method of the formation of new species due to isolation of the species from one another through geographic means.

The first step in this process is geographic isolation, which means that the original population is divided into two groups due to geographical reasons such as movement of continents or formation of water bodies.

Next, the species are subjected to different selection pressures due to their different environments. Eventually, the gene pool becomes very different for the two species due to the different selection pressures and because they are not allowed to mix.

Finally, after enough time passes, speciation occurs, which means that the two populations cannot breed to form fertile offspring.
