Which form of speciation is most rapid? Multiple Choice A. allopatric speciation on the mainland B. sympatric speciation via pol
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The answer is C. Sympatric Speciation via polyploidy

Explanation:

Among all various forms of speciation that exist, the most rapid is sympatric speciation which occurs when a population becomes separated in terms of reproductivity. The process of offsprings developing with more than the common number of chromosomes is referred to as sympatric speciation via polyploidy and it is this process that makes this speciation rapid.

How might the climate and vegetation of Latin America have affected migration, settlement, and ways of life?
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

The climate and vegetation of Latin America have made many people move out, certain areas to be highly populated while some lack population, with the way of life, is very vibrant, with a lot of interaction, music, and spending time outside.

Explanation:

The majority of Latin America has tropical types of climate, with smaller patches having Mediterranean, temperate, or mountainous climates. Being dominated by tropical climates, this region is not the best when it comes to equal distribution of population, as the tropical rainforests have too much vegetation, heat, humidity, and precipitation, while the deserts and semi-deserts lack vegetation and water resources.

This has led to people being concentrated heavily along the coastlines, but also at relatively flat area high on the mountains and plateaus near the Equator. A lot of people have decided to migrate to other regions though, as their environment has not been the best for living. The ways of life can be said that are similar in many ways to the cultures from the Mediterranean region, vibrant, loud, lot of interaction and music, spending a lot of time outside.

P and S waves from an earthquake travel at different speeds, and this difference helps locate the earthquake "epicenter" (where
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

(a) Since both P and S wave travels the same distance, so it can be written as:    Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂,

Where, V₁- Speed of S wave

            V₂- Speed of P wave

            t₁- time taken by S wave

            t₂- time taken by P wave

Therefore, t₁ > t₂ (since, time taken by S wave is longer than P wave)

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 1.5 min

⇒ t₁ = t₂ + 90 sec

⇒ V₁ (t₂ + 90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₁t₂ + V₁ (90 sec) = V₂ (t₂)

⇒ V₂t₂ - V₁t₂ = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ (V₂- V₁) = V₁ (90 sec)

⇒ t₂ = {V₁ (90 sec)} ÷ {(V₂- V₁)}

⇒ t₂ = {5.5 × (90 sec)} ÷ {(8.5 - 5.5)}

Therefore, t₂ = 165 sec

Since, Δx = V₁t₁ = V₂t₂

Now, Δx = V₂t₂ = (8.5 × 165 sec)

⇒ Δx = 1402 km

Therefore, Δx is approximately 1400 km (this means that the earthquake occurred at a distance of about 1400 km from the recorded seismic station)

(b) No, Only seismic station is not sufficient to detect the epicenter of an earthquake. Seismologists and geologists usually use the triangulation method in order to determine the exact location of the epicenter. This is possible by the use of three seismographs that are placed at three different locations nearby to that earthquake occurring position.
