A theory is an explanation for observable events or patterns in nature... Any valid scientific theory has passed tests designed to invalidate it. (Ex: Big Bang Theory.)
A hypotheses is simply a suggested answer to a question or problem. An educated guess if you will.
On his visit to the Galapagos Islands, Charles Darwin discovered several species of finches that varied from island to island, which helped him to develop his theory of natural selection.
A reinforcement schedule is a pattern that defines how often a desired response will be reinforced.<span>
</span>A variable-ratio schedule <span>is a schedule of reinforcement where a response is reinforced after an unpredictable number of responses.</span>
<span>Fixed-interval schedules on the other hand reinforce behaviors after set time periods.</span>
The answer is in the image attached.
Hope this helps!
I don't think changing seasons can REMOVE CO2 from the air, but I do think instead it could add it to the air. It's a long process that involves several ecosystems and stuff. But, as the climate is getting warmer, ice caps are melting and within these ice caps... there are trapped bubbles of CO2 that are released ( I am not sure if this adds a lot of CO2 to the atmosphere, but I am sure that it does contribute to CO2 concentration).
In relation to your last statement... plant growth would actually reduce CO2 in the air because of the process of photosynthesis. Plants take in CO2 and give out O2 for us to breathe. In turn we conduct cellular respiration in which we take in the O2 and give out the CO2. So, plants are actually one good solution for decreasing CO2 levels.
