Answer : The correct option is, (B) Germanium

Explanation :

As we know that the material are divided into three categories which are conductors, insulators and semiconductors.

Conductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity that means it allow the electrons to flow through them.

Example of conductors are, iron, aluminium, gold, etc.

Insulators : It is a type of substance which does not conduct electricity that means it does not allow the electrons to flow through them.

Examples of insulators are, glass, rubber, ceramics, etc.

Semiconductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity under certain conditions that means it allow the electrons to flow through them. The conductivity level of semiconductors lie between the conductors and the insulators.

The good examples of semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium, and selenium.

In the given options, aluminium, gold are the metals which conduct electricity and concrete is an insulator which do not conduct electricity while the germanium is the good semiconductor.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Germanium

Life would not be possible on earth without the water that covers much of its surface and the air that surrounds it, earth water

JulsSmile [24]

Well the hydrosphere is all the waters on the earth's surface, such as lakes and seas, and sometimes including water over the earth's surface, such as clouds. The Atmosphere is the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet. So i'm going to go with D, Evaporation from the lakes and rivers.

Answer:

It forms from sandstone that has come into contact with deeply buried magmas. Quartzite looks similar to its parent rock. The best way to tell quartzite from sandstone is to break the rocks. Sandstone will shatter into many individual grains of sand while quartzite will break across the grains.

Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?

marissa [1.9K]

It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example so attractive.

Traits that enable an organism to reproduce, without necessarily helping them to survive, are often selected for. Darwin called

4vir4ik [10]

The example that does not exhibit sexual selection is:
D. male elephant seals fighting over territory and potential female mates
The competition for territory is also one that helps the elephant seals survive. This is because a seal with a larger territory is likely to have access to a greater amount of resources, ensuring its survival.
