Answer: The different layers are a result of lighter parts (such as the continental crust) settling at the surface level and heavier parts (such as iron and nickel in the core) settling in the middle. The layers separate by density, otherwise known as compositional layering. The earth did not always have these layers, as it had to undergo cooling to form some of them (like the continental crust).
Answer:
In the cardinals, if the females start using a different criterion than the color of the feather when they choose couple, most likely to happen is that decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.
Explanation:
Options for this question are:
- <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the selection pressure has been relieved.</em>
- <em>Increased variation in the shades of red because the cardinals try different ways to impress the females.</em>
- <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because no form of the trait is advantageous.</em>
- <em>Decreased variation in the shades of red because the only reason for variation was selection pressure.</em>
In the context of natural selection, male cardinals court females using the coloring of their feathers as a form of sexual selection. This means that the shades of red in the feathers are a selection criterion in these birds, and the more visible shades represent an advantage.
But, if the selection criterion was not the color of the feathers, this trait would no longer represent an advantage in the competition between the males to be chosen as a mate. Instead, the trait that would determine sexual selection would be the one that experiences an increase in its variation<em>.</em>
The answer is logistic growth.
It is modeled by an S-shaped curve. Carrying capacity (K) is the maximum individuals of a population that a habitat can sustain indefinitely
given the limited resources in the environment. Before this number
is achieved, the population grows exponentially and slows as it gets close. When
the K number is reached, the stationary phase enters.

Answer:
A lunar eclipse can only occur when there is a full moon.
Explanation:
A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon, Earth and Sun are aligned on a straight line. This alignment completely blocks the sunlight and moon is under the shadow of Earth. In this phase, moon often look red because of reflection of infrared radiations. This happens only where there is a full moon.
It is not possible to occur moon eclipse in any phase because if sunlight would reach the moon surface directly, it is not a moon eclipse Further, lunar eclipse can last upto a few hours because the shadow of Earth is greater because of its size compared to the moon's size and it takes a while until moon is completely out of that shadow. Lastly, a lunar eclipse doesn't create an eerie color in the sky rather a red color due to infrared radiations.
