Because of global climate change, arctic landscapes and ecosystems are changing rapidly and perceptibly, as the residents of New

tok, Alaska, can attest. With the land upon which they have built their homes slowly melting and sinking, they have appealed to the state and federal governments for assistance in helping them cover the costs of moving their town to a different location. Ironically,
A) the land upon which the Alaskan state government buildings are located is also melting.
B) the residents of Newtok have discovered oil on their land, making their appeal for funds less convincing.
C) a senator from Alaska has a vacation home in Newtok, Alaska, and so is personally committed to the predicament of the town.
D) decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.
E) the economic activity of the town of Newtok is extremely polluting and thus a big contributor to the environmental changes that have turned its residents into the first climate change refugees in the United States.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Decades ago, the U.S. government mandated that they and other Alaskan natives abandon a nomadic life based on hunting and fishing for sedentism.

Explanation:

Sedentism is simply the practice of settling in one geographical location for a long time.

Many governments encourage this to ensure that agricultural systems become developed and more sustainable as was the case in Alaska.

Other governments in some part of the world are also in support albeit for a different reason such as security of lives and property.

Cheers

How do invasive species disrupt an ecosystem? Describe at least one example of when invasive species have disrupted an ecosystem
saul85 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think one of the most invasive species is perhaps the Dandelion. Who hasn't had a fit when we see them change from yellow to gray. The yellow is pretty, but the gray means it is ready to spread its seed to create more trouble.

Dandelions can be killed with herbicides, but I think you'd be as well off putting up with the dandelion. The herbicides have an unproven effect on our health.

The dandelion was introduced into the Americas in the mid 1600s and was used as food and had medical properties. Since then, because it has no common enemy in nature, it has spread the entire width of the continent. Rather amazing, I think.

Recent research has found that on one island of the Galapagos two finch species interbred. This interbreeding may have resulted
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Speciation is defined as an evolutionary process in which one population evolves into a distinct species.

Speciation in reverse, or despeciation is defined as the extinction of an old species due to combining with evolved species to produce hybrid species but it conserves biological lineage.

In the given research, the term used despeciation or speciation in reverse is appropriate as hybrid species resulted from interbreeding of Galapagos two finch species conserved the biological lineage but also loss one of the species Darwin discovered.
