Simoom is a strong, dry, dust-laden wind usually used to describe a local wind to blows in the Sahara, Palestine, Syria, Jordan and the Arabian Peninsula. It can exceed 54 degrees C and the humidity can drop bellow 10%.
Shamal is a northwesterly wind blowing over Iraq and Persian Golf states, very often strong during the day, but decreasing at night. This wind occurs anywhere from just once, to several times a year, and it creates large sandstorms.
The similarities between these two winds is that they are strong, dry winds, that cause sandstorms.
There are multiple reasons why the fossils of the animals and plants of the more distant past are much more rare than the fossils of the animals and plants from the past few hundred million years. The earlier life organisms were much less complex, often lacking solid body structures. That means that the chances that they can be preserved are very low from the start. The fossils can not last forever, and in order for fossils to be preserved over such a long time there has to be very specials conditions in which the fossils have been preserved, and that is very rare. The movement of the tectonic plates has resulted in the disappearance of parts of some plates, or even all of them, while also creating new ones. The parts of the oldest crust have almost entirely been destroyed through subduction, thus getting below other plates and being melted in the astenosphere.
Answer: True
Explanation: the theory of the island biogeography equilibrium modem describes that species have to get to a certain island from somewhere else which is the immigration part and other species have to migrate from the island as they run out of resources which is the extinction part. This theory shows that as the number of immigration increases and a new place is colonized the rate of extinction of species increases because there is more competition and limited resources for these species and vice versa.

A.
