Answer:

Recent studies have shown that dark skin colour was developed in the past for protection against cancer. Scientists claim that in the past natural selection favoured humans having dark colour as compared to humans having a fair colour. This is because humans having a darker colour produced more melanin which protected them from ultraviolet radiation. As a result, this skin colour protected more against skin cancer. Hence, Having a darker skin colour protected in survival and reproduction to people thousands of years ago.

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are
hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

What would life be like without plate tectonics
emmasim [6.3K]
 It really is impossible to predict such a matter. I mean, think about it, its nearly impossible to think about how earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exsist, or if that heat never exsisted in the first place, because that is how planets are formed.
 One thing is certain however, life wouldn't be the same without plate tectonics; in one case, the constont transgression/regression, sue in large part of tectonic forces acts as a evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. EXAMPLE:  the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics, life would certainly be dramatically different.
