Answer:

Undercutting of the mountain slope by glacial erosion and the retreat of the glacier are the main contributing factors for the rock avalanches, along with thawing permafrost and weaknesses in the bedrock. Landslides falling into glacial lakes may cause tsunamis and river floods and thus pose hazard to people.

Answer:

Consequence : Undercutting of the mountain slope by glacial erosion and the retreat of the glacier are the main contributing factors for the rock avalanches, along with thawing permafrost and weaknesses in the bedrock. Landslides falling into glacial lakes may cause tsunamis and river floods and thus pose hazard to people.

What is it? : A glacier retreats when its terminus does not extend as far downvalley as it previously did. Glaciers may retreat when their ice melts or ablates more quickly than snowfall can accumulate and form new glacial ice.

How to they warn us? : They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. In addition to raising sea water levels, widespread loss of glaciers will likely alter climate patterns in other, complex ways. For example, glaciers' white surfaces reflect the sun's rays, helping to keep our current climate mild.

Cannabis (marijuana) during pregnancy is dangerous for the fetus

During pregnancy, the active component of cannabis, which is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), can go into the placenta and affect the fetus, including its birth weight (like the case in the question here) and brain function, reducing the baby's IQ and attention capacity.


Depending on the type of drug and the quantity consumed, it is also possible that the baby suffers from weaning at birth, that is to say from deprivation (inconsolable crying, irritability, tremors, feeding difficulties, etc.). .


Cannabis may also have longer-term effects in children (learning disabilities, behavioral problems, hyperactivity, etc.).

How are the hardy-weinberg principles used in the analysis of codis genotypes and other strp-locus comparisons?
lana66690 [7]
<span>HWE is used with COIDS and non CODIS eligible DNA profiles to provide statistical caluclations for the rarity or uniqueness of profiles. Each STR kit test for a certian number of loci. Each lous has a set ladder of observed alleles. Each of these alleles has value for its observed frequency in a population. It is the rarity of each allele at each location that will give you the value for rarity of the profile as a whole. This rarity fo the profile is calucalted in CODIS under certian circumstances using to determine the eligibilty of a partial profile or a forensic mixture to determine its eligiblity for the different leves of the database.</span>
