b. Low-pressure regions push away other air in the atmosphere, which would make the hurricane bigger.
c. Low-pressure air heats up the water and therefore makes the hurricane stronger.
d. Low-pressure conditions means slow winds, which makes the hurricane stronger.

11. Based on the northern location of England on the map, it appears that it would have a cold, harsh climate. In reality, England has a mild climate because of the warm Gulf Stream current in the Atlantic Ocean. How does the Gulf Stream current help keep England's climate mild?

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.

Explanation:

Evolution, in genetic terms, involves a change in the frequency of alleles in a population over time. What are the sources of genetic variation? Three sources of genetic variation are mutation, genetic recombination during sexual reproduction and lateral gene transfer.
