This statement is true. Soil color only reflects the amount of organic matter that is currently present in the soil. If the soil seemed to be much darker, it means that the soil has a greater amount of organic materials which makes it better.
A large part of that land area is not conducive to farming or general use. The Canadian Shield covers about a third of the nation. The Arctic permafrost probably covers another third. You cannot farm in either of these areas and the cost of building roads and infrastructure in or through these areas is very high. Other areas have land that could be used for farming but the season is too short. On the lands that are arable, Canadians are reasonably densely populated.
<span>As to softened immigration process, the percentage of permanent residents (generally recent immigrants) has remained fairly steady at less than or at 1% of the population for at least 50 years. Since the birthrates for multi generational Canadians (Canadians whose grand parents or before were immigrants) is so low, Canada needs immigrants to maintain the population at a sustainable level. Yet the processes have not gotten easier. The most recent iteration of the Immigration act has extended the time required for a landed immigrant to live in Canada before being eligible for citizenship (from three years in five to four years in six).</span>
Answer:
What should be <u>TRUE</u> of the island of <em>Hawaii</em> :
- 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 <em>geographic isolation</em>, 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 <em>large number of species</em> in this archipelago, more than 500, seems to have emerged through<em> migration</em> and diversification. Many of these are endemic to a nearby island, and the subsequent<em> evolutionary divergence.</em>
The volcanic islands, which have never been in contact with the continent, are especially<u> rich in endemic species; </u>the species that inhabit them are descendants of those who arrived in times past and <u>were able to adapt.</u>
Almost ninety years ago, in the south of the island of Hawaii, they revealed some <u>bones </u>that turned out to be the<u> first bird fossils discovered i</u>n 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.
