Geography

lukranit [14]2 years ago

Answer:

d) Pioneer species have large numbers of offspring, and climax communities contain species that have small numbers of offspring.

Explanation:

A pioneer species is the first species to inhabit a bare area of land. Many times, this bare land is covered with rocks, so the plants that first inhabit the area are important because their roots break up the rocky land to access nutrients beneath them. Pioneer species usually have the following characteristics:

Tolerable of harsh living conditions

Seedy plants that germinate easily

Small seeds so they can be dispersed by the wind easily

Have a short life cycle

Reproduce asexually

Once these pioneer plant species take root, they are important for the growth of the ecosystem because they provide homes for smaller animals and insects. They also trap moisture in the soil so other plants can grow in the new ecosystem as well. One of the most important factors in the development of a pioneer community is the amount of wind an area receives because the wind is responsible for carrying the seeds of different plants to these barren locations.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

No

Explanation:Because But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart

How did Israel respond to the PLO’s use of terrorist tactics during the 1970s? by granting Palestinians limited self-government
maxonik [38]
Israel responded by what is termed here 'terrorist' tactics of the PLO in the 1970's by raiding PLO bases in neighboring Arab countries. It must be realized historically that Palestine used to belong to the Arab Palestinians ie it was their country and it was stolen by the British colonialists and sold to the rich Zionists for their so-called homeland. If the Israel govt really wanted to live in peace with the Palestinians and be slightly modest that they took away their country, then they wouldn't provoke them with settlements in the little land left that the Palestinians have on the Westbank and they would live in peace and harmony with them and Israel could have both Arabs and Jews living in harmony.
