Answer: Increase in competition for abiotic factors.
Explanation: Resource availability is one of the main factors determining the ecological dynamics of populations or species. Fluctuations in resource availability can increase or decrease the intensity of resource competition. Resource availability and competition can also cause evolutionary changes in life-history traits
B. Refraction because objects refract in water
Carbon-14 is naturally created with the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. As part of the atmosphere, living organisms take in the carbon and incorporate this into living tissues. As long as the organism is alive and breathing, it keeps adding new carbon-14. When the organism dies, it stops gaining carbon-14 - or anything else, of course.
Carbon-14 is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of about 5700 years. If we assume that the atmospheric production of carbon-14 has been steady for the last 100,000 years, we can calculate the approximate age of when the organism died by determining what percentage of carbon-14 still exists in the dead material.
Paleo-archaeologists and anthropologists use this information when studying old cultures and civilizations.
Answer:
Distance: -30.0 cm; image is virtual, upright, enlarged
Explanation:
We can find the distance of the image using the lens equation:
where:
f = 15.0 cm is the focal length of the lens (positive for a converging lens)
p = 10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
q is the distance of the image from the lens
Solving for q,
The negative sign tells us that the image is virtual (on the same side of the object, and it cannot be projected on a screen).
The magnification can be found as
The magnification gives us the ratio of the size of the image to that of the object: since here |M| = 3, this means that the image is 3 times larger than the object.
Also, the fact that the magnification is positive tells us that the image is upright.
