Answer:

the plate motion that occurred the great plain and Rocky Mountain uplifted igneous rock that formed underground. this rock evantually eroded and it's sediment formed sedimentary rock in the great plains uplift and subduction can expose rock formations to different energy sources, which can transform them.

I believe that the answer is a snake and a hawk both try to attack a mouse because both of them are competing to get the same thing that they want so they’re basically fighting over the mouse

be over a hot spot, which is why it is the only one of the seven large islands that has active volcanoes. What should be TRUE of

laiz [17]

Answer:

What should be TRUE of the island of Hawaii :

Scientists in search of ongoing speciation events are more likely to find them here than on the other six large islands.

Its species should be more closely related to those of nearer islands than to those of farther islands.

It should have a rich fossil record of terrestrial organisms.

Explanation:

In cases of geographic isolation, and subsequent speciation, produced by dispersal and colonization phenomena we can find the island of Hawaii. Adaptation to these environments can be the trigger for divergence. The large number of species in this archipelago, more than 500, seems to have emerged through migration and diversification. Many of these are endemic to a nearby island, and the subsequent evolutionary divergence.

The volcanic islands, which have never been in contact with the continent, are especially rich in endemic species; the species that inhabit them are descendants of those who arrived in times past and were able to adapt.

Almost ninety years ago, in the south of the island of Hawaii, they revealed some bones that turned out to be the first bird fossils discovered in the archipelago. The bones were under a flow of prehistoric lava and on a bed of volcanic ash.

In short, the Island of Hawaii is of great interest to scientists and there are always new developments buried years ago by volcanic activity.
