Answer:

The movement of two continents or plates towards each other refers to the convergent boundaries. The process of plate movement was explained by Alfred Wegener in 1912 in the plate tectonic theory.

The movement of the plates on the surface of the earth is a product of the convective currents that come from within the interior of the planet. There exist three types of plate boundaries based on the arrangement of plate and earth structure such as divergent, convergent, and transform boundary.

The convergence can take place between the two continental landmass, oceanic masses and ocean, and continental landmasses. Where the heavier plate collides and sinks into the mantle.

Hence the geologist using the GPS learns that the movement of two landmasses close to each other is due to the consumption of one plate by another.

How might Texas’ aquatic species differ from species in other states, for example in Oregon, Michigan, or New York?
weeeeeb [17]

The Texas species differ from those in Michigan, Oregon, and New York because they have physical adaptations for a different (warmer) environment.

<h3>How are aquatic species in Texas different from aquatic species in Oregon, Michigan, and New York?</h3>

The different species of animals that exist around the world are the result of long physical and chemical processes of adaptation to the environment and the climatic, biotic and abiotic conditions of a place. From the above, it can be inferred that species from two different points on the planet (for example: Michigan, Oregon and New York and Texas) have different physical and biological conditions as a result of their adaptation processes.

In particular, the aquatic species of Texas are characterized by having greater adaptability to warm waters due to the latitudinal location of this state. On the other hand, fish from Michigan, Oregon, and New York are more likely to survive in cooler waters because they are closer to the North Pole. Additionally, these species are in regions where the seasons change throughout the year, so their bodies must be adapted to these conditions.
